Pros: - Made of very strong material .
- No interference in a cable-filled area.
- Feels unbreakable.

Cons: None, but as stated in another review it's pretty stiff so it won't really work if you try and cram the whole thing into a corner.

Other Thoughts: It's hard to believe that this cable only cost $12, HDMI cables are normally way overpriced. I own a $70 HDMI cable (bought it half price, $35 is still alot) and it looks and feels way cheaper than this one.

Bottomline: If you need an HDMI cable, this is a very good choice, especially for the price.

Pros: Good build quality, at an attractive price too.

Cons: May not be as flexible as some might want it to be but for me the cable is more than adequate.

Other Thoughts: I had an HDMI cable (came free with a Sat decoder) that I used on an upscaling DVD player. The cable was about the same thickness as every other cable (e.g. like the ones with RCA). Basically it felt like a regular cable with HDMI connectors added to either end. Every time my fridge (next room) motor came on my TV wid go blank 4 a few seconds. After replacing it with this DX one I had not a single TV black out!
There are a lot of HDMI cables on DX. I bought this thicker one (as it looked in the photos) as my one experience with a "thinner" cable had been unpleasant. That being said buying this cable yielded a trouble-free experience, and since there are some positive reviews for the cheaper, thinner ones I think the next time I'm looking for a HDMI cable I might just buy one of those ones.

Bottomline: Never had any problems using it so far, a really great HDMI cable.

Pros: -Solid Cable
-Works properly
-Feels and looks nice
Not much else to it, it's a good HDMI cable that carries a signal perfectly

Cons: The only real con was the little metal flanges at the end of the plug covering where the cable goes in don't screw on tightly. But this isn't really a problem because they shouldn't come unscrewed in regular use and even if they do they screw back on easily.

Other Thoughts: Great cable at a decent price. Not the cheapest on DX, but looks a lot sturdier (and nicer) than the cheaper ones.

Bottomline: Buy it if you need a HDMI cable.

Ownership verified by DX The best cable around at a dirt cheap price.

Pros: Aestethically pleasing, feels solid and sturdy. Gold plated and tight connectors. Good interference protection. Long enough. Terribly cheap and basically the same HQ cable that is sold for 3x the price in Europe.

Cons: Packaging looks a bit cheap. Otherwise absolutely none.

Other Thoughts: I previously used a cheap DVI cable with which the image "jumped" when I turned my amplifier on. With this cable the problem disappeared.

Bottomline: This is the best cable around for a very reasonable price.

Pros: Great price for 1.8m cable.
Nice and solid feel to it.
Just as good as any stupidly expensive cables - don't get suckered in by home theatre salemen to buy their cables.

Cons: The sleeve where the cable joins the plug don't screw down firmly - they just pop back when you screw them too tight.
No big problem - i've glued them in place

Other Thoughts: I use this for my HTPC - just the right length and provides a fine pic quality for playing 720p avis i've downloaded

Bottomline: great price for a great cable - buy this is you need 1.8m HDMI
Don't buy $50+ cables - they are no better than something like this.
Can get cheaper cables off auction sites but i think the ones of DX are more reliable

Pros: Heavy build quality, seems to be a solid Hdmi-cable.
Both ends have a layer against corrosion, as well as shielding against overcurrents.
Quite stiff, 180 cm of length, and comes with both plugs in plastic covers. Shipped in a padded envelope as a letter, no tracking number.

Cons: Had to tighten both plug fittings, but that's nothing.
Maybe it could have been shorter ?

Other Thoughts: Till this point in time - none.

Bottomline: My advice - just buy this.
I think I'll perhaps will be buying one more of this cable.

Pros: I've bought expensive HDMI kabels in the past from my local audio store. These cheap ones from Deal Extreme are built better and are 20% of the price I paid for the expensive ones. I've bought two and I am totally satisfied!
You can't go wrong with this cable.

Cons: NONE! I cannot think of anything I would change in it. The packaging is cheap, but who cares, you throw that in the garbage.

Other Thoughts:

Bottomline: I am super satisfied with these cables. The fit and finish is perfect! You can't go wrong with this cable.

Ownership verified by DX Works with 1080p, HDMI1.3a

Price: starstarstarstarstar

Overall Rating: starstarstarstarstar

Pros: For others wondering about if this cable meets 1.3a spec. I've tried running 1080p@60 over this cable and it works perfectly. All 19 pins are connected, means CEC/DDC channels works. I don't have a deep color source to test the 1.5x (2.48GHz) speed which my display supports. I am overall impressed by the quality of this cable.

Cons: No package, no spec, hard to image a superb cable like this come in a clear plastic bag.

Other Thoughts: I am glad that I didn't buy the $60 crap they sell in local shops that claim to be 1.3 compliant but bends like USB cable. This cable is thick, solid but still flexible. I wouldn't recommend sharp bending of HDMI cable because the 1.65GHz natural of TMDS anyway.

Bottomline: Get this cable, at least it does what other cables claims to be capable of, and has better chance to go beyond that. If anyone tested it with 36/48 bits deep color, let me know.

Pros: - Cabo muito bem construido
- Aparenta ser bem mais caro do que realmente é
- Funcionou perfeitamente para ligar meu Home theater na Tv de plasma
- Aparentemente bem resistente.

Cons: - O único problema é o fato de não ser muito flexivel, mas isso se deve ao fato de ele ser bem grosso e ser blindado com uma capa protetora de tecido.

Other Thoughts: - Melhora consideravelmente a qualidade da imagem mesmo sendo DVD e não algo FULL HD. Imagino eu que o ganho de qualidade ligando o PC ou um Blueray seja maior ainda

Bottomline: - Se você precisa de um cabo HDMI pode comprar sem medo! no Brasil você vai pagar o dobro do preço por algo pior!

Pros: This really is a good cable, it appears to be very well built and looks very expensive.
It appears to be shielded so is a very good buy if the power cables are near the UV cables.
the connectors is mode of some gold like metal and comes if a protective plastic case.
This cable looks like very strong so it would probably works for a long time.

Cons: the cable is not very flexible so it might me hard to pass it to small spaces.

Other Thoughts: Very good buy. I cant find any cable like this one on the stores of my country but if i did it would cost a fortune.

Bottomline: If you need a HDMI cable buy this one.

Pros: Just got this All I can say is wow This is one NICE cable just holding this in you hand you can see it's Quality It has a Solid well Built Construction Both ends are Full metal with both sides with the 3d bubble Hdmi gel sticker the hdmi ports look to be gold plated could be some other gold looking metal. All i can say is wow this cable is a monster. If want a hdmi cable that has a tough powerful look this is one

Cons: If want a hdmi cable may have a little more bend try another one this is comparable to a coaxials strength.

Other Thoughts: I can't use this because I don't have a HD tv yet I bought this for my laptop when I do get the tv or a lcd screen with a dvi input with the use of the sku.8308
This cable at a local electronic store would be ridiculously expensive.

Bottomline: this cable is wow can't wait to use it!
