25ft HDMI to HDMI Cable Premium Gold Series HDMI Certified



30 ft HDMI TO HDMI 1.3a Certified Cable 24k Gold HDTV 30ft

High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is the first industry-supported, UNCOMPRESSED audio/video interface. This cable connects HDMI devices for DVD, satellite boxes, LCD, projectors, plasma and HDTVs. HDMI provides an interface between any HDMI-enabled audio/video source, such as a set-top box, DVD player, and A/V receiver and an audio and/or video monitor or projector.

HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-channel digital audio, with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and requirements.

    4 Stars one potential problem
    This is a great cable at a great price.

    There is one problem that may potentially affect you though. The height of the HDMI connector is quite high (ie it is thick). Whereas many of these connectors are around 1/4 inch tall, this one is 7/8 inch. There is some a/v equipment out there that doesn’t have enough room for this connector. My SONY LCD projector falls into this category.

    What I ended up doing was to get a small (1 foot) m-f HDMI cable extender, and this ended up with a male plug small enough to fit into the projector connector.

    This probably won’t affect you, but measure your input connector area just in case.

    1 Star A tricky price…
    I bought the cable because of the good reviews. Unfortunatley for me the cable didn’t work. It looked very well to me, a very thick and well done cable, but didnt work, no image at all! also the connector could be easyly pulled out, somehow it didnt stayed in its place so I will have to buy a new one because I live in Mexico and shipping is so expensive, it isnt worth to return it. Bad product. Maybe its the first bad experience with this cable, but be aware.

    1 Star Great cable, except for one thing….
    It didn’t work. I plugged the cable in, and… nothing. I tried different HDMI input, and still nothing. I finally found that I could sometimes make it work if I fiddled with it a bit while the DVD player was running, but if I turned the DVD player off and restarted it, the cable would go back to not working.

    I tried a different cable to make sure this cable was the problem rather than the inputs on the TV and DVD players, and everything worked fine. This cable was definitely the problem.

    5 Stars a steal
    As I live overseas (APO) it is hard to find HDMI cables anywhere near this price (around 50$ for a 3-6 footer on average) these cables have allowed great picture on my projector and I have NO complaints.

    5 Stars Buy This Cable!!!, Don’t waist money on others!!!
    Deliverd to Canada this cable cost me less than $30.00. It works perfect.

    Best buy Sells the comparable monster hdmi1000hd 10m hdmi cable for $399.99.

    Unlike Analog signals, with an HDMI Digital, the signal either makes it to your equiptment, or it doesn’t. there is not “weak” or “better” picture, plain and simple, it either works, or it does not, all or nothing, 1’s and 0’s, you get the point.

    It Blows me away that companies like best buy can charge that much for a cable.
