Perfectly fine cables
(5 out of 5) by Robert Haven on Jan 13, 2009 (Eugene, Oregon United States)When I bought my LCD TV, I paid a fortune for an HDMI cable at the retail store. Stupid me, I should have known better about the outrageous markups many retail stores put on video accessories. Recently, I bought several of these cables at a fraction of the price I paid for that first one, and I used them to connect a Blu-ray player, an Xbox360, and an audio/video receiver. Even with the high shipping cost, these cables are much cheaper than I found elsewhere. And they work just fine.
Remember, HDMI cables transfer digital info -- they pass bits, not an analog signal -- so, basically, they either work or they don't work. You'll either see the complete picture and hear the audio, or you won't (if the cable is defective). These are not like analog cables where cheaper, poor-quality cables can result in a poorer picture or sound. So if you get any HDMI cable that works, you won't get any better quality by paying for more expensive HDMI cables. Reviewers that say they see a poorer picture with cheaper HDMI cables are fooling themselves and don't understand digital vs. analog.

Cable works great with Sony PS3.
(5 out of 5) by Eternal on Aug 7, 2008 (Guam, USA)This cable works perfectly fine with my PS3. I am so glad I didn't waste my money on the original sony hdmi cable that costs way more. Save your money and go with this cable instead.

THIS CABLE IS THE REAL DEAL!!! VERY HAPPY WITH MY PURCHASE!!!
(5 out of 5) by James A. Bryan on Apr 11, 2009 (Henderson, Ky)I just got this cable to hook my XBox 360 up to my new 42" Phillips LCD. I was a little worried at first that I wasn't getting what I needed, but was right on with it. The 1.3a Category 2 HDMI cable is definitely the way to go. It's amazing to see how many places are charging $40 - $50 for the same thing so they can put a popular name on it.
I got this cable while playing Fallout 3 and immediately noticed the difference in the small detail and sound quality. Not sure if I would pay what others are charging for this cable, but for $3 and $3 S&H YOU CAN'T GO WRONG!

What a bargain!!
(5 out of 5) by Timothy J. Peel Jr. on Jul 14, 2008 (Wichita. KS USA)These cables are great!! The quality is excellent and the price is definitely right. Looked at several other cables before I found these and other than being 30-50 times more expensive, there was absolutely NO benefit in using the name brands.
