Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Cables To Go Velocity Series 40315 HDMI Cable (Blue, 2 meters)
Customer Review: HDMI cable top notch
Summary: 5 Stars
Got this cable to hook up upconvert $80 Sony DVD player to VIZIO Hi-def tv. Wow! Made all my old dvd's and the newer ones like 3:10 to Yuma look absolutely great. If you can wait a couple days get this for under $20 like I did or go to Best Buy and shell out $60. You are still getting the same cable just paying for the brand name.
The cable itself is well made and has quality connectors everything snapped into place with a good tight fit on both units. I am in the music industry and know a crappy cable when I see one. This is NOT a crappy cable.
I don't use the audio from the tv but I still get 5.1 surround from the coaxial out of the dvd player to the home theatre receiver. It's all good with an $11 cable....
Customer Review: Good cable for the price

I ordered two of these cables for use with my current set-up (Panasonic 50" 1080p plasma, Playstation 3). The cables seemed to work fine, but I was concerned that they may not be rated at 120hz and version 1.3b. To make sure I was getting all that my system had to offer, I purchased the Mediabridge HDMI cables (also from Amazon.com) that were clearly rated at the above standards. To be fair, I realy didn't notice much of a difference in image quality. However, for a few dollars more, the mediabridge cables appear to be more sturdy and of a higher build quality. That being said, these cables are still a good value for the price and I am using them now for another TV (720p) with good results.Customer Review: Bad Cables for PS3
Summary: 1 Stars
Obviously, I'm not the only person having problems with these cables, but to simply put it they do not work, (well at least not on a playstation 3 hooked up to a 47 inch hdtv). These are the first cables I bought to go to my 47 inch t.v and my playstation 3. They worked for about 2 weeks. After the first week they started to show a green light at the right side of my t.v. I didn't know whether it was the playstation or the cables at first. Than one day the cables just went out and I din't have a picture at all. So than I went and bought some RCA cables and they work perfectly fine. When I tried plugging it up to my rca upscaling dvd it still wouldn't work!! I want ever buy cheap cables again.Customer Review: more for less?

Well not really more, but you get the needed functionality for a reasonable price. I looked at all of the HDMI cables while seeking one for my Upgrade DVD player. Prices ranged from a few dollars to over a hundred dollars. I chose these as a compromise - slightly more expensive than the least expensive but a lot less than the "top of the line" type. And they appear to be perfectly suitable.
Although I do not have the expensive cables to compare to, I suspect that I would not see a difference. This view was reinforced by a couple of pieces I have found on the web that make sense. The signal is digital not analogue, so the data cannot be degraded, it is either there or it is not.
Customer Review: I'm sure they're good cables, but...

I just received the CablesToGo Velocity HDMI cables I ordered from Amazon.com. My Amazon.com order was placed on Saturday, January 9, 2010.
The packaging on the cables says "Impact Acoustics" instead of "CablesToGo" and the cables are thick and black.
These are the cables I ordered:
Velocity HDMI (2 meters) - 40315
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009S5HQA/
Velocity HDMI (5 meters) - 40318
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009SPPU8/
I want the thin, blue versions of these cables not the thick black ones. I ordered these specifically because they are supposed to be thinner than regular HDMI cables.
