 LOL - Don't Overpay for HDMI!!!! January 1, 2007
14 out of 14 found this review helpful
Hey folks - I'm an electronics technician and network engineer!
LOL... LOL... LOL... Don't OVERPAY FOR SOME PLASTIC AND METAL!!!
HDMI cables simply transfer digital information from your DVD player to your TV/Receiver. It's essentially 1's and 0's directly processed by your TV/Receiver. It's not a an audio or high frequency signal that's succeptable to interference, crosstalk, or anything else.
Your main concern is signal degradation due to distance. If the distance of your run surpasses the specifications for HDMI transmission, then you will simply need a device that amplifies/repeats the signal so that it reaches its destination (your recever) unchanged/degraded.
3 ft and 6 ft cables are sufficient for most applications. If you want gold plating, then these cables are gold plated.
Why gold plating? Gold plating prevents corrosion. Actually its been over-played by marketing. If your equipment is not in a damp place, or outdoors, then even if you don't have gold plating, your electronics may die before the cables corrode.
Buy these cables and laugh just like I did. I initially bought a $39.95 Phillips cable from Wal-Mart cause that was the cheapest one I could find, but I still felt that I'd been taken! Then, I did some research and found this cable. I bought 3 - then took the overpriced Phillips HDMI cable back to Wal-Mart!!!
Why 3 cables? - I'm waiting on a PS-3 and an AFFORDABLE, true HDMI switching receiver. Currently I'm using one cable directly from my Hi-Def Sony DVD Changer to my Samsung 50" DLP, and running optical audio from the DVD Changer to my Onkyo 7.1 system - Suhweet... (for now).
P.S.
...For those of you that think that you must have Monster cables, go ahead. They're not bad - Just Overpriced!!! I used to work at Circuit City back in the day of commissioned sales people, so I know the profit margin on this stuff. I had to flex on a BestBuy associate a few years back because he kept insisting that I buy a power conditioner from "Monster Cable" for my big screen for $100.00, even after I'd already bought a (throw your money away) service plan!!!
Hey - Get this cable, it's of high quality and it's Safe!!!

Anyone who is considering the expensive cables, dont.
I was also in your shoes. Sure, the expensive cables come in the
nice fancy packaging, but what happens to that packaging once its opened ?
You throw it away. These cables will give you the crystal clear picture
you are looking for. I have a Directv hddvr hooked to my hdtv. The picture is wonderfully
clear and the sound is superb.Dont think that you will be getting an inferior cable , just because
it doesnt say, Monster. You cant tell the difference. I didnt !
A great cable at a great price December 2, 2006

I had an overpriced HDMI cable to compare this with because earlier when I bought my HDTV and wanted a cable "right then" I was able to buy a $60 cable half-off at BestBuy (it was open box). I completely agree that this cable does the trick at a fraction of the price. Movies played on our new upconverting DVD player look luscious. I also like the way the cable is constructed--sturdy, with a very flexible covering. The cable came with covers over its tips, as well, to protect it en route. Nice touch.
I need another cable because I just realized (duh!) that if I'm routing the cable box IN to our new home theater receiver I need another cable to route the receiver OUT to the TV, plus I want some other types of cables for the audio, and I'll purchase all of these from one of the Amazon online sellers. It's worth the short wait.

When I got my HDMI capable HD TV and wanted to hook up my Upconverting DVD player through the HDMI output, I was confronted with outrageous Big Box store prices for HDMI cables. I wasn't about to pay almost as much for the cable as I had for the DVD player. Fortunately I found this cable through Amazon.com at a very good price (a WHOLE LOT less than the Big Box stores) even with shipping. Don't be fooled by all the hype about needing high end cabling for your HD TV and DVD players. This cable works very well and as intended. By the way, using the HDMI output of your source to feed an HDTV's input is the only way to go, even when you are upconverting standard DVD discs. The image is startlingly good!
