I'm not too sure of this deal. As far as I have seen the better cables are made of much thicker cabling; this cable is very very thin. It is slightly smaller than the speaker/audio cable that you would plug in to the back of a computers sound card. How can they put all those HDMI wires in such a small cable? There must be skinny magnet wire in it or some such single strand stuff. And no way could there be room for shielding, not of any worth anyways. To provide for quality signal transfer you need wires of size to transfer that quality signal. Also, the shielding needs to insulate not only the overall cable from outside interference but it needs to insulate the individual wires themselves from each other. And as I said, this is the same size or thinner than a standard audio wire for your computer.
Also, as stated previously in a review, there is no documentation saying who made this, what this is or any applicable warranty information as was in the description.
It came shipped in a white plastic shipping bag no padding.
I think someone might be cheating. Not worth the hassle of sending it back. I'll just chalk it up as lesson learned. We'll set up to compare it with a known good cable in the next week or two. But it certainly isn't what was expected when I purchased it.Originally bought Monster HDMI Cable.. had my LCD TV set up and the picture is superb.... Then I found out about this product, much less expensive than the "Monster" brand. Performs exactly the same, I returned the Monster cable and saved myself about $50.It works great with my PS3. Haven't had a problem with it since I got it. Came in the mail one day and I unwrapped it when I got home and plugged it in. No worries since.
It's got a good length so it should be able to reach just about anything at all near your TV.
Nothing else I can think of to say now so . . .Cable was fine and seems to be good quality but was not shipped with any type of documentation whatsoever. I based my decision in purchasing this specific cable on the lifetime guarantee and HDMI Cat 2 certification but unlike what is advertised, nothing was shipped stating this. The cable was shipped only in plain shrink wrap and nothing else. I consider this misleading to say the least.It does exactly what it's designed to do, and the price was great. We hooked up a Roku to our 32 inch HDTV LCD. zero complaints. looks great, no issues...
