A Basic Cable at a Good Price,
This is the HDMI cable to get right now: an HDMI 1.4 cable at a good price.
HDMI 1.4
HDMI 1.4 is the latest standard (as of November 2010 at least). It is backward compatible with other HDMI gear (mine all are HDMI 1.3 compliant). And it will be more useful to you if your TV supports HDMI 1.4 networking. I was not able to test the Ethernet networking capability of this cable, but I think the idea behind it is a good one.
For my current home entertainment setup, I had to set up separate Internet connections on my TV, set top box, Blu-Ray player, and WD TV LIVE (HTPC). It would have been a lot easier if I could have just set up my TV’s internet connection, and allow all of my components to share it. That’s what HDMI 1.4 promises to let you do–as long as all of your hardware, including the cables, supports it. This cable will support that functionality; it’s more “future-proof” than the HDMI 1.3 cables I have been using.

This Cable
This cable is really long, so I don’t recommend it if your components are very close together. A 3-foot cable would easily suffice in that case.
Overall Impressions
This cable is a great buy. Definitely order it if your new A/V or PC components don’t come with an HDMI cable.

Equal to Cables at 5X the Price,
This is an excellent HDMI cable. I was skeptical seeing Amazon come out with their own cables, but these are very good quality. I would equate them to the higher end Belkin Pure AV line, which you can sometimes find at the best prices. These cables are even less than that! And the packaging is nice … no fussing with scissors and that super-sealed plastic that cables usually come in – just pop ‘em out and hook ‘em up! Great!

Quality Product at a Reasonable Price,
I have tried a number of different HDMI cables ranging from very cheap to extremely expensive. I have not found any difference in signal quality between the high priced name brands and the cheaper versions. Some of the cheaper cables did have issues with meeting the latest HDMI standards and that is where these Amazon cables fit in. These cables provide the latest HDMI standards along with the same performance as name brand cables. I have not tested the Ethernet capability but I know that it is there for future products that may need it. Why would you pay more when these cables provide the same functionality at a fraction of the cost?
*** Positive Points: ***
- Great Build Quality (unlike some cheaper cables that have cheap connectors)
- Work EXACTLY the same as higher priced cables
*** Negative Points: ***
- Absolutely none
Overall: Very few products deserve 5 stars but these cables provide excellent performance, high quality all at a reasonable cost. Nothing less than 5 stars!
