It works fine at 1080i with 5.1 channel digital surround sound, but not with 1080p and 5.1 digital surround sound. Construction is solid, but the thickness of the cable is a little thicker than a cat5 cable, a lot thinner than other HDMI cables.

As a new PS3 160gb owner – I was faced with a 50/60/70/100 dollar HDMI cable choice from the store where I purchased it and other big box stores where the sales people knew less than I did. One very honest and smart guy told me to save my money and buy one from Amazon. So I did… As a backup I purchased the more expensive one as a comparison on my 56″ JVC HD-ILA (JVCs DLP projector 720P) and found absolutely no difference on screen with either Blue-Ray disk or Game play … and returned the $100 one the next day…
I cannot speak of 1080i or 1080p HD sets – but after tax a $100 spread is something worth considering. The PS3 is picky sending signals out to a monitor or TV – but this works as advertised … and my wallet is all the better for it.

When researching HDMI cables for my new home theater system, I found many differing opinions. Most electronic store employees told me that expensive cables are necessary for a high quality picture and sound. Yet, I saw the reviews of this product on amazon and people were saying this product is great, even though it doesn’t cost a lot. Well guess what? The reviews on this site are correct.
I’ve been using these HDMI cables for a few weeks with no problems whatsoever. I have one for my PS3, and one for my HDTV. These cables work perfectly.
It seems that the whole HDMI cable business is a bit sketchy. Why would anyone pay $100 for HDMI cables? I have no idea. These cables were very inexpensive and get the job done as advertised. I could not be happier with this purchase.

Cables cost nothing to manufacture and “quality” is nothing more than a few millimeters of insulation and proper (cheap) materials. This cable functions adequately and is priced appropriately.
The difference between a $100 cable and a $50 cable is the sucker buying it. Probability is that the $50 cable is identical to the $100 cable – both manufactured by the same Chinese company and re-branded by two different resellers.
The hazard of cheap cables is that the most horribly cheap cables will receive and transmit interference to other cables/devices e.g. static, lines, or similar aberrations in picture/sound quality. Solution: Buy a few notches up from horribly cheap and stay with insanely cheap. A consumer does NOT need to pay more than $5 or $10 to obtain a quality cable that will not transmit/receive interference. HDMI signals are not strong enough to penetrate relatively weak insulation – a toaster transmits more interference.
The bad news for consumers is that most HDMI cable sellers will not give you enough data on the product to determine if it is sufficient (no standardized interference rating, material description, insulation type/thickness). The good news is that Amazon users will tell you if they are having difficulty.
I should add that (in the unlikely case) if you are routing hdmi cable over more than 5m you will want to look into significantly better cables, however. Running HDMI over lengths beyond just a few meters will cause severe signal loss. This tends to happen when you are *not* installing the input devices (DVD/Blu-ray, home theater equipment) adjacent to the TV – such as routing the cable behind walls, ceilings, and/or floorspaces.

Why pay for an expensive cable when you don’t have to. I tried this cable thinking that if it did not work then I am only out a couple $$ and would then try the more expensive cable. I don’t have to as this cable works just fine.

I use this cable to connect my HD camcorder and HD TV. The recorded HD footage can be
displayed on my HD TV in very good quality. It is not necessary to buy expensive cable.

Not much to this one, it is a cable that serves its purpose at a good price.
