Customer Review: does not work for DVI to HDMI
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this cable to hook up my new HDTV (HDMI inputs) from my cable box. Unfortunately my cable box has DVI outputs (not HDMI). This cable would NOT work for a DVI to HDMI connection - I assume it would work properly for a HDMI to DVI connection although I have no way of verifying that. Note that I had been successfully utilizing this DVI output from the cable box previously (so I am sure that the problem was not with the DVI output of the cable box). Buyer beware that "HDMI to DVI" means just that. I have since researched other cables and noticed that some cables describe the connections as successful in either direction ("vice-versa") and there are others that specifically say "DVI to HDMI". My bad, I guess!!!Customer Review: Excellent price for a great cable
Summary: 5 Stars
When I purchased this item, I hesitated just a little since the price was so low. I needn't have worried. The cable is quite robust - flexible but substantial. The ferrite core may be somewhat unnecessary as I wouldn't anticipate too much interference with the digital signal, but I won't complain about this extra. It works flawlessly when connecting my PC or MacBook (both have a DVI-D output) to my HDMI port of my rear-projection TV. The picture is, of course, excellent, although there is some overscan due to my television's settings. This is hardly an issue for what I use it for - watching streaming movies on the big screen using my PC or using the TV as a second monitor for my MacBook.Customer Review: great cable, great price

I am glad I did not buy the expensive Monster Cable, it would have been a waste of money. The only surprise was when I hooked it up to my cable box and the back of my tv, I got a picture, but no sound, called Cablevision, they could not figure it out, so I went to a cable forum on the internet and there was the answer, you still need the audio (RCA cables-red and white) for the audio. The cable is HDMI to DVI, for this you need the other cables described above. If both are HDMI, then the audio is is through the cable and you do not need the separate audio cables. But I was able to eliminate some cables. Not sure the picture is better than component, looks about the same.Customer Review: Perfect for iMac--HDTV connection
Summary: 5 Stars
I hook up my iMac (and MacBook sometimes) to my Vizio HDTV with this cable (with the addition of another, Apple-made cable). It works perfectly: I get freaking 1080p quality picture on my TV!! Among a million other things, watching Hulu and DVDs is extremely pleasurable.
This product is a fabulous, cheap buy and highly recommended. OH, and if you ARE trying to hook your Mac up to your TV, make sure you buy the appropriate Apple cable as well! (And an audio cable too, I bought this one: Belkin Audio Y Cable Splitter 1-Mini Plug/2-RCA Plugs (6ft) )
Customer Review: WOW!
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought a $65.00 dollar cord from Sears. I saw this cord on Amazon and said I'll give it a try. I unpluged my Sears cord and put this cord into my TV. They were almost the same. A difference that I could live with because I took that Sears cord right back and got a full refund.
I'm now waiting on an HDMI to HDMI cord to come from the same company. When I need a cord I'll be getting them from this company on Amazon for now on. Why pay more when you can pay less!
I only have a projection 1080i RCN TV that's why I gave it a 4star. When I get my LCD Samsung I'll update this review to let you all know about the HDMI to HDMI cord.
