I presently have two of these Cables Unlimited premium HDMI cables in my Audio/H.T. That's more than half the price of a WDTV Live Media Player, so I'm going to reward myself with one for being a clever shopper. They're fully shielded and well jacketed, have gold-plated contacts and molded strain relieved plugs (in 'Gateway Cow' black and white).
One connects my Philips CD/DVD player to the 1080p TV.the other for the HD cable box. 1.3) is exactly the same as the 'big bucks' Monster cable.To put it simply, they're excellent. system.
The digital audio/video signal quality and bandwidth (Ver. Both worked fine on first hookup, and have continued to do so after having been disconnected and reconnected in the course of routing them through cable concealment conduit. Construction and assembly quality is up anything I've seen for as high as $79.
As far as I can tell, the only difference between these and the $79 cable is $65. Good thing the TV has 3 HDMI inputs; I guess I'm going to need another one of these cables.
Plugged it in and it worked exactly as I expected it to; the TMDS coded algorithm made it from my motherboard to my monitor no problem, which means; same exact picture as I would get from a 20-100$ cable. my decision was based on price alone. I paid $2.99+tax at Frys electronics for this (sorry Amazon), In order to test up my new 24" Samsung Syncmaster LCD with a full 1080p native resolution. The only reason this manufacturer loses a star is because of the outrageous claims on the packaging that any 15 year old should be able to see as invalid. When I opened the package I was suprised by the look,feel and apparent quality of the cable. I own many other cheap (all under $5 HDMI cables and this one looks and feels much more expensive. Example *enables increased contrast ratio, *eliminates on screen color banding, (here is the best) *lets HDTVs display colors more accurately. The cable is great but it wont work any better than any other HDMI cable even one from the dollar store.
Great picture quality in full 1080p, but the heads are very poorly constructed and two of the three cables I bought from them have now broken.
I had a similar experience as many others have with the gold plated end of my cables snapping off after unplugging them from my bluray and tv.
this hdmi cable works great. i use it for my playstion 3 and cable box.
