There is no way in this universe that a cable carrying a digital signal can affect picture quality, so forget the nonsense about special platings blessed by holy men. I paid one British penny for this cable, and of course it works fine. Why pay more?

I was a little put off by the low price but I hooked this up to my PS3 and found the quality to be great, much better than an ordinary scart.

The image is allot sharper and the resolution allot bigger. You will definitely need an HDMI cable to get the most out of your HD TV and at such a good price there is no reason NOT to get this.

The amazon site says 1080p compatible. The box says 1080i. Never mind the box, it is doing a fine job linking a 1080p upscaling DVD recorder to a 1080p television. Until we sort out true 1080p input we will never know whether the cable is any kind of limit to quality. For the moment we are very satisfied with the cable performance.

Don't be taken in by people saying its better to go for an expensive HDMI cable. Those who think they can see a difference in cables are kidding themselves. Its a digital cable, it transmits 1s and 0s, and this one will do just as good job as any other. Go for it, its a great price.

Seems fine to me. I have a QED HDMI-P which costs £50 and there is a difference, but for 4 quid, who can argue with that. I use it for my DivX player so any lack of colour or sharpness isnt going to be that significant. I would try and compare it to my Blu-Ray PS3 Sony 2000W40 with QED cable, but this cable here only supports 720p/50 or 1080i/25 and getting round the back to swap cable over is a real nightmare, just be told, £4 its as good as any other non genuine 'hifi' cable so long as you dont need full on 1080p.
