I had decided to finally take the plunge and mount my LCD TV on the wall. I unplugged all of the cables and proceeded to mount the TV.

Silly me, I didn't realize the HDMI cable for the DVD player was only 3' long until AFTER the TV was mounted!

It was too late to go out and buy one, so I ordered it from Amazon. I had heard all the hype about cheap cables so originally I ordered a Sony at $50+. I had it delivered to work and when my co-worker saw the cable, and asked me how much I paid, he laughed hysterically.

After trying to argue about cheap cables, he told me he had bought this cable from Amazon and it was a fantastic cable. Since he had higher end video than I do, he convinced me to return the Sony and order this Mediabridge cable.

I am SOOOOOO glad I listened to him!!!!

This cable was 1/3 the price of the Sony. When I opened the package I was REALLY impressed at the way it looked. It has this rugged black mesh shielding that makes it look as if you could hang a boat from it! {DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!} The ends are gold plated and the look of quality oozes from the cable.

When I plugged it in and fired up the DVD player I immediately noticed a difference from the old 3' cable I had bought locally for $35!

I cannot believe I am actually writing a review about a freeking cable, but it has made a real impression on me and forever laid to rest the myth about inexpensive cables!!!!

BUY THIS CABLE!!!

I just bought a Nvidia GTX 260 OCX video card and was trying to hook it up to my Samsung 1080p LCD. I tried using the hdmi cable that came with my dvd player. Was getting a very intermittent 1920 x 1080 pic. Lots of times my tv would say “searching for signal”. I bought a couple of these and now my pic comes in every time. I always thought you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between hdmi cables….guess I was very wrong.

I needed a cable to hook up my new 120hz Samsung LCD and Blu-Ray player.

I really don't care much about cables and would never have expected I would be sitting here taking the time to write a review on one, but this is one of those times I have been pleasantly surprised so here I am.

This is such a nice cable I have to say I would have expected this cable to cost much more than what I paid.

The guy in the department store was trying to talk me into paying almost $200 for cables he said I absolutely had to have because I was buying a 120hz TV. I found the $200 cables (along with the service plan) they wanted to sell me to be a rip-off.

I found this cable on Amazon for $11.95 and the net cost for 2 of them was under $25. They work absolutely perfectly and this cable meets all of the same specification and is every bit as good as those $200 cables.

An added bonus is this nylon sleeve which encases the cable. It works perfectly for our LCD mount since you have to feed the cable through the mount. The sleeve really makes the cable slide through the mount nicely.

Buy this cable! An excellent deal.
