User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Need a long HDMI cable? Look no further.
If you are looking for a long HDMI cable to connect your PC to your HDTV, look no further. I can attest this cable works perfectly between my Radeon 4870 and my HDTV. I used the special ATI DVI to HDMI adapter so I have audio as well. Excellent price and arrived fast. Forget the outrageous mark ups at your local electronics stores and buy this!

5 Stars Great cable
I was a little worried about this cable; after all, the HDMI spec says 32 feet maximum, and 30 feet is 93.75% of that. But I had to try, my projector is a long way from my receiver.

The cable worked fine – so I was quite pleased.

The quality of the product itself is very high, good connectors, heavy, yet flexible cable between the connectors, gold in all the appropriate places.

I’d buy again.

Also, shipping was perfectly reasonable – it took about four business days from ordering to receipt using Amazon’s expedited shipping option. That’s not bad for a third-party vendor.

5 Stars Great cable
Have it going from my xbox360 to my Panny HD projector. It works great, no degradations seen.

2 Stars Not good for 1080P signals…
Bought this cable specifically to run between an HDTV (a 46″ Samsung) and an upconverting DVD player (a Toshiba DVD recorder). After installation, the signal sent from the DVD player (a regular DVD upconverted to 1080P) was displaying static noise all over the place. Rechecked connections to make sure everything was plugged in correctly, but nothing helped. On a hunch, I set the DVD player to send a 1080i signal to the HDTV: no more static. Researching online, I found other people had the same problem with other cables from other companies: their problems were solved when they replaced their cheaper HDMI cables with more expensive ones. Since my HDTV also upconverts to 1080P, I ended up letting the DVD player upconvert only to 1080i, but this is not what I was expecting to do when purchasing this cable, and there is no reason why this cable should not be able to carry a 1080P signal.

5 Stars Fabulous Value
I paid more for a HDMI cable half the length of this one, and I see absolutely no difference in the quality. Does a great job for me, with my equipment, which is high-end, but not top-of-the-line. Highly recommend it for most enthusiasts.
