Customer Review: Good Product but bad customer service
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this product on 12/4/2008 and Amazon showed me expected delivery 9-12 December. but I never got this item even after 20th December. than I email them and ask about status of my order.
They replied as follow:
Please note that your order has been shipped on 12/04/2008 via USPS First Class Mail. Unfortunately, First Class Mail does not provide the Tracking number. Please be advised that first class mail would take up to 14 business days to reach. If you do not receive the package by 12/24/2008 please contact us back. Thanks for writing and have a nice day.
I waited untill 25th of December (becuase of Christmas holiday) and send them email again. and this time they didn't answer and ask me to contact by phone when I did so, they told me that they are missing my apartment number. (HOW CAN THEY DO THAT BECAUSE I ALWAYS ORDER FROM AMAZON AND IT IS NEVER MISSING). Neway, I gave them all informations and they send me my package again, and again they missed delivery because this time also they didn't put my apartment number in address. (How can they do that twice). When they missed it second time, I had to call fedex and ask them to redeliver on correct address. This is my tracking number: 1Z7F5E250305067023.
So, finaly I got my cable almost afer month. They ruined my Christmas as I watched all program on normal cable on my new 52" HDTV.
Customer Review: I just laughed
Summary: 5 Stars
I was just thumbing through the Best Buy ad and noticed their Monster Cable 8" HDMI cable "on sale" for $116 ($18 off). I laughed, knowing full well that I had purchased this HDMI cable (I believe mine was 12") from Amazon about a year ago for less than $5 (+ shipping). I also find it funny that people will wait in line for hours on black friday, to save some money on a TV, then turn around and dump $100 on a piece of wire.
Lets keep in mind that these businesses/manufacturers are in it to make money ...and have every right to sell a product at the highest possible profit. What bothers me are salepeople who misinform potential customers, so they can land a big sale. An HDMI cable simply sends a "digital" signal from one component (ie DVD player) to another (ie, TV). Unlike speaker wire, electrical wire, length of runs, etc (where wire gauge/thickness matters), an HDMI signal either works or it doesnt. Granted, the customer should do their own research, and learn about all the product(s) they are about to buy.
Over the past year, I have had absolutely no problems with my purchase of this wire. I would place my TV right next to another set with a "Monster" brand cable anyday. I wish to thank Amazon and the manufacturer for making it available to us at a reasonable price. It will be several years before you see HDMI cables for under $20 in the big box stores.
Customer Review: Did not make a difference for me
Summary: 2 Stars
I called the Dish Network, and told them the problem I have with the picture on my 52 inch Panasonic LCD projection TV, very poor and a strong watercolor effect. After guiding me through all kind of fixes and nothing worked, they suggested I would buy an HDMI cable. I installed the cable and did not make any difference. I still have the same poor picture, so bad that when someone is moving the head from left to right a bit faster, the nose and mouth disappears ..... and the hair is like a cloud of cotton. Just as before the HTMI cable, the text, logos and any graphic, are all very clear and crisp, except for the people, landscape, background, etc.
So, I really don't understand what the HDMI cable is for, for me did not do anything.
This is reason I am giving it only 2 stars, this has nothing to do with the seller or the quality of the cable, unless the cable is defective and I have no way of knowing it. The price is more then excellent, you couldn't ask for a better price, ONLY $ 2.20 INCLUDING shipping !! .... and it came in few days. My cousin paid over $ 80.00.
You would think that there MUST be a huge difference in quality, but the tech people from Dish Network and based on all the reviews I read online, says that there is not difference whatsoever, that HDMI cables ARE ALL THE SAME. Now, you be the judge. I am not a tech geek and I can only go by what they say.
Customer Review: Why use an expensive cable?
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw some reviews that mocked the use of cheap cables, saying that the picture quality would be terrible, so I was skeptical about using a $2 cable to hook up my $300 Xbox360 to my $1500 HDTV. Then I did a bit of research.
According to the articles I found (google for yourself if you want to learn more), digital signal quality doesn't depend on the quality of your cable. Apparently, the fact that the signal is digital (a series of distinct 1s and 0s), as opposed to analog (a continuous RANGE of signals), means that digital signals are much less susceptible to degradation. This would mean that one HDMI cable is as good as any other.
I'm no electronics guru and I still wasn't convinced, but I figured this cable was only 2 bucks, so it wouldn't be a big loss.
The cable works. I've used it for my xbox and for my laptop and both output full, 1080p plus audio. There is no lag. There are no drops in framerate. There are no artifacts in the picture or audio. Everything works the way it's supposed to. I've been using the cable for about a month now. I've never noticed ANYTHING wrong with the signal transmitted through the cable and I can't imagine any benefit to getting a fancier, more expensive cable.
I'm glad I saved myself $80 by getting this cable. I'll probably buy a few more to connect my camera and computer to my TV.
Customer Review: Finally...
Summary: 5 Stars
A seller that realizes it's just a freaking cable!!! This is a very good cable. I see the stores selling them for over $30, and never could figure out why anyone needs to charge $30 to over $100 for a freaking cable. I know, I know, some of those "other" cable manufacturers spend money on making the cable "look" cool with cool colors, flashy trim, and connectors, and try to make them look more high tech than they are. So, sure, if thats what you need in a cable, then your money, your pretty cable. Frankly, I'll take mine in "classic black" thank you, for LESS THAN $2 PER... I bought two of these, because they were so cheap, and figured if I got a bad one, so what, I got a spare, but guess what? They BOTH work great. A digital cable, channels digital packetes even in simple BLACK cables... So, spend your money if you choose on pretty high dollar cables, but if you just want to get your data from one place to another, these cables work great. Anybody tells ya "can't handle the bandwidth" are full of schit, and blowing technical smoke to justify their $40 cable, or trying to sound smarter because they felt dumb by beliveing that crap themselves.
I might pick up a few more, paint them fasion red or something, and sell them to the tards that feel the need to pay alot for a stinking cable.
Thanks Amazon, and their seller for offering these cables.
