Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Fanatic Digital Gold-Plated HDMI Cable with ferrite cores (2 meters/6 feet)
Customer Review: Works perfect between my Sony PS3 and Bravia
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered two of these cables just a couple of weeks ago and paid $6.49 each. The price has since dropped to only $3.38 as of today (wow!), but even at $6.49 these are a spectacular bargain. I'm just not sure what spending more on a Monster Cable, or Belkin, or Sony branded, or any of the other expensive cables would achieve.
The cable is high-quality with well formed contacts, gold plating and ferrite cores. While the ferrite cores may not be needed, I chose this cable specifically due to the cores because I have seen issues in the past -- with VGA cables -- be resolved as a result of their presence.
I connected one cable between my Sony PS3 and Sony Bravia and I have had zero issues even at full 1080p. I tested the other cable in the same fashion just to make sure; no problems. Both are excellent cables resulting in a superb picture! I cannot ask for more. I'm even tempted to buy extras since they now cost nearly 50% less than just two weeks ago, but my Bravia has only two HDMI inputs and I've already purchased two cables.
Don't pass this one up.
Customer Review: It Works but for LESS
Summary: 4 Stars
Yesterday I watched a TV shopping network trying to sell a new TV. I left the names out on purpose. One of the hosts said that their package included this that and a brand new HDMI cable. Then he said to the other host something like "and you know how much HDMI cables cost? They are $80 to $80 in the store." Bull. Sure you can get one of those hugh cables that cost far more than they are worth but the bottom line is does it work well with your setup. This cheap cable works as well as any of the 5 other HDMI cables that I use. One factor that might be misleading is the picture of the cable. It shows a ferrule or some thing about an inch above the connector. The one I received did not have the ferrule on either end. But for less than $8 including shipping who knew mine did not have a ferrule? I reduced my rating by one star for the missing ferrule. If you have a product with a ferrule and do not sent a cable with a ferrule you have misrepresented yourself. Sorry. There is a little thing called truth in advertising many of us have heard about and few of us receive the full benefits.Customer Review: Exactly what you're hoping for
Summary: 5 Stars
It's a really solid HDMI cable that allows video and audio connections from my upscaling (1080p) DVD player to my TV. I've used another one to connect my HD cable box. I'm not sure about gaming consoles, etc, but there's no reason why this shouldn't work. However, if you'd like to connect a computer to your TV, you probably need a DVI cable instead.
As far as quality, the cable is heavy duty, and they make a big deal of their ferrite core. Fine, the signal is digital, so it's just as good as a $100 cable - unlike analog signals, 0s and 1s don't change. Don't be upsold! (By the way, the same logic applies to fiber optic connections for digital optical outputs.) You just need a cable that works and this one does.
I thought about the even cheaper cable but there were a few negative reviews that suggested the cheaper cable wasn't up to certain tasks. It didn't make sense to me, but this cable was sufficiently cheap that I decided not to risk it...
Customer Review: Don't waste money on more expensive HDMI cables! Buy these!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am thorough disgusted by other retailers selling overpriced cables. From all of the research many people have done, I feel that they proved that less expensive DIGITAL cables work as good (or even better thanks to their price) as their overpriced and overhyped counterparts.
I used this cable to hook up my Sharp 37" Aquos Gaming LCD screen to my Playstation3. There has not been a problem since. The console recognized the HDMI cable and instantly recognized the 1080p capability of the TV and adjusted itself.
The games look and sound great. The movies are excellent. Admittedly the DVDs, being that their resolution is inferior to Blue-ray discs, do not show off the capabilities of the system, but Blue-ray discs and PS3 games are quite impressive.
All of this thanks to a simple $7 cable. DON'T WASTE MONEY ON OVERPRICED CABLES!. These cables get the job done, and very well! I'm glad I bought these.
Customer Review: HDMIKing HDMI 2 Meter Gold Plated Cable
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first purchase from HDMIKing. My background is technical with an MSEE Degree in Electrical Engineering with additional courses beyond and many years of experience. I am a member of the IEEE (Institute of Electrical & Electronic Engineers) and have been for many years.
The delivery from HDMIKing was fast and accurate. HDMIKing provided the following information that influenced my purchase:
1. Resolution - 1080p and beyond
2. EMF reduction - gold plating, double shielding and ferrite cores
3. Compatibility - various specs
The product performed well beyond my expectations in both video & audio in my new HD LCD TV and the price was good. The HDMIKing description of the article looked good and appears to be accurate. The cable increased the perfomance beyond what the Component cable provided for video & audio. I recommend this cable for any hardware with HDMI capablity.
