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.

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 No degradation at all – Pro football junkies best friend
I have this hooked up to a second DirecTV DVR in the kitchen that has a small HDTV that isn’t much fun to watch football on. I ran the cable down into the basement then across the ceiling of the basement and back up into my living room. I told the wife I wouldn’t run any more cables. I use it to watch football games in my living room on my new Samsung 58″ plasma when there are 4 games on at the same time and I need 2 DVRs to record them simultaneously. Playback quality is excellent. Now I can take full advantage of my NFL Sunday ticket (I even have 2 other HD DVRs in the bedrooms so I can record 8 games in HD simultaneously – sick!)….and my wife sees me more than ever on Sundays. With DVRs, I control when I watch and now I’m free to do whatever I want on Sundays (which is pretty much watch football and I don’t even have a fantasy team). Maybe I need to see a doctor.

4 Stars Works as advertised
No problems; tested it side by side with a 6′ cable and works fine with Verizon FIOS HD DVR, XBox 360 and Panasonic upconverting DVD recorder. The only reason I gave it 4 and not 5 stars is that I haven’t installed it in the final setup yet with a HDMI switch I plan to use (TV only has 1 HDMI input).

5 Stars Amazing Cable!
Originally I saw it’s very cheap and I bought it without lots of expectation. I never imagine to have such a high quality and performance cable with this price!

5 Stars Just the HDMI quality cable you’re looking for
This long cable came at just the budget price I needed and provided the same quality as I had with my 6′ cables.

1 Star Sparklies on Resolutions Higher than 420p
Expect to see sparklies and other screen artifacts when viewing sources at higher than 420p resolution. This cable is a disappointment. Hopefully, a repeater/amplifier will solve the problem.

4 Stars A must have if you want to connect your computer to HDTV
A DVI to HDMI connector is a must have if you want to connect your computer to your HDTV. This helps a great deal to play the movies you download from Netflix or Blockbuster. No need for an extra upscaling DVD player if you got this. Windows Media center upscales your DVD movies automatically to HD quality. I got this long wire so that I can connect my computer and HDTV which are in different rooms. A great buy. You would need a 3.5mm male audio connector as well to connect your speakers to the TV.

1 Star May be a good cable, don’t buy from eforcity
I ordered this cable, the order was accepted and then, apparently, eforcity decided to raise the price $5 and cancel orders at a lower rate. They seem to be a shady operation so I would at least advise using a different vendor.

5 Stars Great!
Bought this cable to connect my laptop and desktop computers to my HDTV for gaming and movies. It works perfectly, no problems at all. It is a very solid cable with great connections. There is really no need to pay any more for this type of cable, just buy this one!!!

5 Stars Quality product, cheaper price
I am using this cable to connect my Desktop (DVI-D output) to LCD TV.

Working fine without any issues.

Prompt delivery.

Will recommend.

5 Stars This is great!
Use to connect my PC to my plasma. Picture is great. Now I can watch hulu on my plasma! The cable is good quality. I would buy this product again and recommend to a friend. I have an Nvidia video card so I use its NVIEW to select my plasma, the Nvidia lets me set the output for the correct resolution for my TV.
