 Poor cable, would not support 1080P Feb 22, 2008
By Hoi Polloi
"Friend to Whippets"
I would not recommend this cable at all. I purchased this cable in order to hook up a PS3 to a Samsung 40" LCD TV. The highest setting I could get though was 1080I. I subsequently purchased another cheaper HDMI cable from Amazon and had no issues at all getting set up at 1080P.
Here is the cable I bought that worked:
Inspire HDMI (2 meter) 6 foot cable HQ 1080P 1.3b

 HDMI cable Aug 18, 2007
By R. Lockhart

"no such thing as a better cable" is a misnomer. HDMI cables are rated by the bandwidth capacity (commonly known as bitrate per second), the higher the rate, the more info it can pass digitally in a given timeframe. Why is this important? Because, as games become faster, and higher-bit color graphics emerge, HDMI cables will need the additional bandwidth capacity to smoothly transmit the digital signal from game/video source to your T.V. Emerging technologies, such as 12, 16, and 18-bit color, and "lossless audio" will become standard in the near future.
There are some HDMI cables capable of 3.4 Gbit/s, which can more than handle today's 1080P/12-bit color requirements. Some manufacturers, like Monster Cable, claim 10.2 Gbit/s with their M1000HD series HDMI cable, but it's really 3.4 Gbit/s cable multiplied by it's channels (3).
Current sources, such as HD DVD, BluRay and the current crop of PS3 games are adequately served by the HDMI cable listed here. However it won't be long before a "better cable" is required to handle the latest technology. You don't have to sweat it, for the moment.

Cable does not work! Feb 12, 2008
By Peter G

This cable did not work with any of my equipment. I ordered it with my PS3 to connect directly to my TV. I had no signal at all. Also tried from my HD cable box to the TV and had no better luck.
I tried my PS3 with another HDMI cable and had no problems.
Don't buy this cable.

Better HDMI options out there. Dec 31, 2008
By Fogcatcher
I commented fairly extensively on HDMI cable technology about 16 months ago. Some people are having a problem with this particular cable. I've found through doing several hook-ups of friend's and family's systems that they were usually doing something wrong in the hook-up process. Typically, after installing the HDMI cables they failed to change the source input/ouput to HDMI on their TV's or game consoles, or incorrectly matched the source resolution that best suits their TV. It is important to sync the hardware so it's all on the same page.
That being said, I won't defend this cable. I don't use it. I found Blue Jeans Cable to be perfectly suited for my 1080p setup. I use Belden bonded-pair HDMI 1.3a cable (apx. $4/ft) throughout my system. Moving to 1.3a or better will help to futureproof your system. And any decent HDMI cable will operate your PS3, so you don't have to buy this one.

Not a good choice for a ps3 cable Feb 07, 2008
By lordgreybeard
I purchased this cable because it is 8ft and I had a 4ft monster ultra 1000 hdmi cable but was too short. I was able to do a comparison and although the ultra 1000 is expensive it will give you the assurance that it performs to the maximum. This cable however had speckles on the xmedia bar screen whenever there was black and during movie trailers in darker scenes and it made a popping noise when the ps3 was turned off (I believe this was mentioned in another review). I know this because when switching to the expensive cable it had outstanding picture and doesn't miss any details, including dark scenes or black. Maybe it was a defect. but when ordering online it takes too long to replace it and try again with the same one. I would like to think that the expensive cables are overrated but in this case, they clearly won.
