I'm not at all as knowledgeable about this stuff as most of the people that write the reviews so this should may good for people who are clueless about this type of stuff. I had read the reviews before buying this and wasn't sure if I should spend the extra $ on Monster cables or not so I bought Monster cables and this at the same time. I was hooking up to Direct TV and a Panasonic Blu-ray to my HP 1080i HD 47" Flat LCT TV so I needed two anyway. When I switch these with the Monster I can't notice any difference in quality. A friend of mine works for Tweeter and helped me with my TV installation so I asked him about it and he said that there's very little difference and he wouldn't spend the $ to upgrade. I spent $15 on these instead $40-$50 on Monster (which would have been $200+ at the store that I bought the TV at) and got the same picture as far as I could tell.

I am NOT electronically savvy, but: I bought these 15' HDMI cables on the cheap because I couldn't see popping $80-$100 for a set. Many many online reviewers have stated that price doesn't make that much differance in HDMI cables, so I thought I'd 'waste' $5 and try them, rather than 'waste' $100 on a quality that I didn't need. Did that make any sense?

These work great! My upconverter upconverts just fine, Everything looks HD to me! If you don't have the extra loot to throw at HDMI cables, buy these. You'll be happy. To quote Ned Flanders, they work just Diddly-Darn-Fine.

These cables were shipped fast and work just great! I've compared to other "high-priced" brands and performance-wise, THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE AT ALL. This is what you would expect from a cable carrying a DIGITAL signal... it either gets from one end to the other, or it doesn't. Digital does not have the nuances of analog, so spending a zillion bucks on fancy cables is just a waste of money.

Highly recommended!

Used this for my second TV setup. For the first tv I bought 90 dollar cables for both TV and PS3. Out of curiousity, exchanged them back and forth on the PS3, the High Def Cable Boxes (both Comcast and identical)and my large Sony and the smaller LG. The picture was not any different. Called my girlfriend in and lied about which one was which and of course she said the best picture was the one with the expensive cable. She said it was "just a bit better than the cheap one". Of course you can guess she had actually picked the cheaper one. Buy with confidence because I was going to return them if they were even slightly compromising my quality.

I bought 3 of these cables; 2 out of 3 were defective. Two months after I started using the cables, the first one started shorting out. Then the video completely went out on the 2nd cable. For now, the third cable is still working.

Jiggling the cables and checking the connections did not solve the problem. Furthermore, these cables were just plugged in and left alone. Finally, the third cable that was still working was inserted into the HDMI plugs on my TV and cable box to rule out those devices as the culprits. Both of those devices worked fine with a functioning HDMI cable. So there is no obvious reason for the failure other than poor quality merchandise from Eforcity.

Since it was more than 30 days after purchase, the vendor did not stand behind the product.
