Customer Review: TONYS REVIEW FOR HDMI
Summary: 4 Stars
When you are looking for a good HDMI cable, you need to forget about the brand. The only thing that you should consider is your budget, and the nature of the device that you wish to connect to your TV set. If it happens to be a video game console like the Xbox 360, or the PS3, then you can consider increasing your budget (but still not to the excess of $100). For other purposes, there are many locally made HDMI cables that perform admirably as well. There are two things that you must keep in mind at all times though, firstly, the cable should be a Category II cable and not a Category I cable, and secondly, the cable should support HDMI 1.3.
With that being said, you should know that you do not need any detailed HDMI cable reviews to find the best HDMI cable for yourself. When you visit an electronics store, you should not fall for what the salesperson there tells you. In spite of what he says, there is no difference in the output of a wire that costs $15, and a wire that costs $60. The quality of the output will be determined by the quality of your device, and the quality of your TV set. Most HDMI cables are 6 feet long, but if you are looking for a longer variant (say 20 feet) then you must be prepared to shell out some more money.

Here my story. I have two high def. tv's.One is a 32inch Sharp gaming T V.and a L.g. 37 inch.On both sets i have two HDMI hookups.I bought four HDMI cables the best they had to offer at a price of over Three Hundred dollars.I hooked them up and used them for about five months.One day i was just Computer Surfing and came across these cables and i wanted a spare set but didn't want to pay the big price.At Ten Dollars for the cables,that included shipping how could i go wrong.Now,i have two Sons and two Grandsons and a wife and all of them use both sets and play the games that include Play Station three and X box 360.without anyone knowing i switched one from each TV.to the cheaper set and waited for a reaction.Believe me when i say if there was any quality change they have let me know right away.After a couple days i put the other set on and waited.Then i asked one of my sons if the picture had changed on the X box 360.To my amazement he said the picture looked liked i had done something to make it look clearer.I can't say you'll have the same good fortune as i had all i can say is give these cables a try.At ten dollars you can't go wrong. Buy the way i still haven't told them what i did.Does anyone want to by some high priced cables?Customer Review: Be careful, it really isn't Category 2

I got this cable several months ago. At the time, I was using a 720p HDTV and an upscaling DVD player which automatically chooses 1080p. It worked perfectly. An amazing deal for under $3. Recently, however, I acquired a 1080p HDTV, and little problems started to occur. On DVDs, there would be occasional jerks in the picture, as though a frame or two had been skipped. I thought it was either the player, the TV, or the discs causing the problem. But it had never happened before and did not happen now with component cables. So I re-read some of these reviews. This cost-effective cable is not Category 2, so it's not really optimized for 1080p-to-1080p connections. Although my TV is 1080p, my upscaling DVD player is still artificially improving native 480p material, so I switched from its "Auto" 1080p upscaling setting to 720p. With a less fully HD source going into the 1080p HDTV, the little skips seem to have disappeared. The picture is no worse, given the original DVD source, though I know I will have to get a Category 2 cable when I go Blu. Pity I hadn't thought of this before when the somewhat more expensive certified Category 2 cables (like Amazon Basics) were shipped free on Amazon, which they no longer seem to be.Customer Review: You get what you pay for...

When we purchased our new TV a couple of months ago, I purchased expensive Phillips HDMI cables (x2) for about $40 each. The picture was beautiful and crisp as was the sound, but I hated that I spent about $90 for TV cables. I felt it was a rip off. So I decided to read some reviews of a cheaper version and was thrilled that not only could I get a cable for $2.50 a pop, but they received such astounding reviews. I figured for this price, it was worth trying at least.
Perhaps this cable has received such good reviews only because it was the first cable purchased and the reviewers had nothing else to compare it to, or perhaps it works better on a 60 Hz TV and doesn't support the 120 Hz HDTV's, I don't know... But I feel that since I purchased such an expensive TV and since I pay for HD service through my satellite company, I am going to chuck these to the garage sale pile and go out and buy the more expensive cables and get the brilliant, vivid picture. After all, that is why I bought this TV.
Really, for $2.50, you might be like me and want to just give them a shot to see if it works for you. Perhaps you'll be like the majority here and love the quality. Unfortunately, I did not.
Customer Review: Very very inexpensive but excellent quality

I threw up my hands at Radio Shack, Best Buy, and Circuit City with ridiculous prices on cabling. They are forced to be competitive on advertised TV's, so they make it up on cables, TV stands, and the like.
I bought 2 of these cables, they arrived quickly, looked to be made well, and work just fine. One I run from the DVD to Receiver, the other from the Receiver to the HD TV. Now remember, these deliver audio also, but to the TV. To get high-quality sound out of my DVD into my Receiver's speaker system and be able to control the volume, I had to use what is called an optical coaxial cable from the DVD to an input on the Receiver. That cable is costly at the big box stores, also, so look elsewhere.
My background is an electronic engineer so I know most of the sales staff babbling done at these big stores about cables is untrue and technical nonsense. You will be unable to hear any difference, and if you think you do, it is the suggestion they plant in your head. If you stop and think about the wiring you see in your house, in your auto, and the wiring seen leading to telephones, they work just fine without gold plating, monster-sizes, and expensive bubble-wrapped graphics around wiring.
