4 Stars Pretty Good…
I’ve been using this cable for about a year now with my 52″ Samsung LCD & have not had any issues with it. It transfers a clear & sharp signal. The max resolution that I’ve used it with is 1080i (from my HD cable box). I have not used it yet with a Bluray player so I cannot comment on it’s 1080p capability. Overall, great cable for a very CHEAP price…great alternative to the very pricey cables found in stores.

1 Star In this case, I didn’t get what I paid for.
Sure, they were only a penny a piece when I bought them but still, I should have gotten what was advertised- HDMI cables that worked.

Only one out of 4 cables worked on any of my equipment. The fourth cable works only on my satellite tv box, but nothing else.

I continue to believe that no @!%*$ cable is worth anywhere near $60 and up. Wire is wire; I’m sure there are reasonably priced HDMI cables (like for under $10) that work and meet HDMI 1.3 high speed specs just as well as the $100+ Monsters. This ain’t one of them.

5 Stars Works great so far
Bought this instead of the $30-$200 options at local radio shack as connection between Sony Blu-Ray player and Bravia 52″ LCD. It works as advertised. See other poster’s excellent review on fact this one may not be certified to full bandwidth and others in the $2-$3 range are – I would go with one of those if buying it again but so far, no problems.

1 Star Garbage
Sure it’s cheap, but who cares if it doesn’t work. Bought two of these, neither of which work and had to go out and pay regular price for some that actually worked

5 Stars uh huh
What can I say about a $3 HDMI cord, except thank you. I Love my PS3 and I love it even more in $3 HDMI. Looks like it cost $30.

5 Stars great
This product was about half as expensive as anywhere else and it’s the exact same thing. It’s been hanging on my wall for a few weeks now and haven’t had any problems.

5 Stars Super product.
The wall mount for our new Samsung 55″ television is perfect. The directions/video on you tube were great and my husband and I mounted our television with no surprises or glitches. The total profile, including wall mount, is a hair over 1 1/2 inches. Amazing. Well worth the money on Amazon.

4 Stars Great Product at a High Price
Used this mount for a Samsung 46 inch LED TV. A little over priced but I bought this TV to hang as close to the wall as possible. No point in paying a premium for a thin TV and the having it stick put from the wall 2 inches. Product quality is A+. Very well made in fit and finish. Mounts TV securely to the wall and with the cables hidden in the wall, makes the TV float. TV hangs flat to the wall, no tilt. Good instructions and comes with a varity of hardware to attach to most kinds of walls. 5 stars for a well made well designed mount. 1 star off for the price. I’d buy it again.

4 Stars Very Happy with Installation Kit and Use
I had purchased a Samsung 46″ LED TV at Best Buy but they wanted listed price (I think $149) for this wall mount. So I checked Amazon and they had it for about half that price. The installation instructions were good. It comes with hardware for both a solid wall (wood/brick) and a wallboard installation. I installed it into wallboard. I was nervous about the weight at first but the hanging kit is very good and the work went well. Hanging the TV on the mounts is just like hanging a picture frame since the TV has a thin wire cable that hangs over the wall mounts.

5 Stars Great wall mount!
I purchased this Samsung ultra slim wall mount for my new Samsung UN55B8000 55″ LED TV. I have to admit that I was a bit apprehensive about mounting a $3K TV using such minimal hardware, but the materials and construction of the mounting system is very high quality. The ultra slim wall mount takes full advantage of the TV’s thin (1.2″) design and only adds a half inch when installed. Therefore, the total depth from the wall is less than 2″. Awesome! If you’re going to wall mount the 6000, 7000, or 8000 series LED TVs, this is the way to go.

5 Stars Fantastic Monitor
I did a HUGE amount of research to find the best 22″ computer monitor under $300. The sound is not great (no bad either), but I did not buy it to be a HDTV. It works perfectly. The remote is intuitive, the buttons on the side allow you to switch between monitor and TV very easily. It comes with both VGA and DVI (male-male) cables and it overall a fantastic product. This is the best 22″ monitor for under $300 and it just to happens to be a television too.

4 Stars Good for a small bedroom or office
Pretty satisfied with this product. Had to adjust color and brightness control to get a good picture. My husband says picture is still too small for his satisfaction but I find it just fine for the bedroom. Still haven’t figured out how to program my remote to use my video player (not so easy according to the directions)

3 Stars Good Picture but speechless
Connection was a breeze but no sound. Nothing i tried worked. Someone please tell me what to do. Picture quality is great.

4 Stars Samsung TV
Everything came on time as promised and was quick to set up. The picture as usual is amazing but the sound as other reviews have noted is tinny to fair. Still for a birthday present for the wife so she can watch tv in the kitchen it rocks. She uses it every day so mission accomplished. Thanks Amazon.

4 Stars Great Product
I ordered this monitor as a 2nd screen for my bedroom, I hooked up my 2nd Blu-ray player & 2nd PS3 to it. It looks great,and is very sleek looking. It is a “computer monitor” so it doesn’t have the ability to wall mount so it just sits on my dresser. The plastic stand worried me in the beginning but after a couple of late nights “bumps” into the dresser the stand held firm. It is a great purchase for the price. It has the connection form the coaxial cable and a built in digital tuner….I have not used them since the main purpose was just for the Blu-ray & PS3 not cable. My friend saw it and immediately bought one for herself & her daughters rooms.

1 Star Did not work!!
Bought this cable thinking I got a bargain on a cheap dvi to hdmi cable for my macbook pro and panasonic lcd hdtv but it didn’t work. Tried it on all the hdmi ports and got nothing. My macbook’s screen kept flashing blue as if it was trying to connect to an external monitor but no picture was showing up on my tv. I’ve read others with macs saying the cable worked and others said it didn’t. Guess I was one of the unlucky ones.

5 Stars It does it’s Job
Plain and simple, hooked up my computer up to the big LG lcd tv. Simple and it worked. Had to of course adjust the settings on the card and the zoom aspect settings on the tv but that is to be expected with this type of connection. Quick delivery and great price. Picture looks great, vibrant colors, makes it all sorts of fun to watch movies off the computer. So if you need this cable this one does the job.

and eforcity is also a good thing, They’ve never let me down in anyway, they rock!

5 Stars Outstanding performance and cheap!
What can i say, I bought one of these cables several months ago to hook up my DVI laptop to my tv HDMI input. I liked it so much, I purchased a second one for my other television. It works exactly as you expect. Construction quality is great, picture quality is great. I don’t think the higher priced ones will do any better (though I have not tried). I liked this cable enough to come back and leave some positive feedback so others can benefit.

1 Star Don’t get for Macs
I got this to connect my MacBook Pro to an HDTV, to no avail. When I connected it, the screen would flash blue once then refuse to detect the external display. I took the setup in to an Apple Store, where switching computers had the same effect. We then switched to their $26 Belkin DVI to HDMI cable and had everything work perfectly.

Yeah, it’s only a few dollars on Amazon with shipping, but it’s not worth even that for Mac users – this seems to be a frequent problem.

4 Stars Works as advertised
Works well, gives a line at the top of the screen sometimes. It may just be crappy cable box though.

5 Stars Works like a charm
I just bought the cable. I use it to connect my MacBook Pro with my Sony HD Bravia. Works perfect.

3 Stars PS3
I bought this cablt to hook my ps3 up to my hitachi HDTV. I read a bunch of articles on wether it will work to hook up a ps3 to a DVI port. Some said yes and some said no, so I thought I would take a chance. It did not work, but for the price I paid for the cable it is not worth it to return.

5 Stars This product works
This product does exactly what you’d think it would do – send video hmdi-dvi or vice versa. I don’t think cables can exceed expectations, its a cable. Its 10 feet long. It works. It has fufilled its destiny. It works and is cheap, 5 stars.

5 Stars MacBook to HDTV
I used this to connect a MacBook to a Sony HDTV. Bought the adapter for the MacBook from Apple and this cable . . . works like a charm. The images on the Sony are fantastic. Price was right and very speedy shipment.

1 Star Horrible Cable
Horrible cable. Died after i used it once. I tried using it a 2nd time and did not work.
