You won't see a different in the quality of your iPod music when you use a gold plated gas injected USB cable to transfer the songs from your computer to your iPod! its a digital signal. Why should the HDMI be any different? Stick with this, clear and simple, if you want to read on, be my guest:
I purchased an HDTV 1080p TV with true color support about 2 weeks ago and a PS3 about 3 weeks ago. I had my PS3 hooked up with a $130 monster cable because the guy at the store convinced me it would make a difference in my picture.
While surfing the web, reading video and audiophile reviewers comment about HDTV related stuff, long story short I came across the cable debate and thought I'd test it out myself. I hooked up the PS3 with the monster cable, played clips of Black Hawk Down in Blu Ray, then hooked it up with this cheap cable. No difference at all. I guarantee you I am so picky with the picture and sound aspect of home theatre (well isn't that the point of home theater!) and would not subsidize quality to save a few bucks.
The picture is exactly the same as the monster cables picture. For those who complain about durability:
First off, the cables more durable then the monster cable. The monster cable was so thick it began to angle itself on the HDMI connection port. All that unnecessary crap was weighing it down and bending the connector port. Secondly, you don't say hey check out my super durable ultra quality HDMI cable that does the same thing as a $5 cable, you do that with cars and clothes, not cables. Therefore the performance is what should count not the brand name. Thirdly, digital signals have no loss, no matter how bad the cable is. This cables quality isn't bad, its actually very good, but assuming it was so bad that it was crap, the picture simply would not go through instead of going through poorly.
Injecting gas and having 10 coats of plastic around the cable won't increase the bandwidth of it, either. Only the HDMI version certification can do that. An HDMI 1.1 monster cable has the same bandiwdth as a $10 HDMI 1.1 cable because its meant to support the expected bandwidth requirements of an HDMI 1.1 unit/tv/ps3, etc. The same goes with HDMI 1.2, 1.3, etc.
Just like every other HDMI cable, but cheaper. July 18, 2007

Since HDMI cables carry a digital signal, it is nearly impossible to build one that works better or worse than any other.
This was the cheapest one I could find, so I bought it. Its performance is absolutely identical to the $50 one I got from Radio Shack (and which I promptly returned once this one arrived in the mail.) I am 100% positive that its performance would be identical to the $100 HDMI cables peddled at home theatre stores.
Thinking that a more expensive HDMI cable will give you a better picture is like thinking a more expensive network cable will give you better email.
Why pay more? September 4, 2007

HDMI is the standard cable you would use to hookup your high definition cable box, satellite TV, and other HD sources to your television.
Circuit City charges between $40.00 and $100.00 for this same cable. Since digital is digital and this one costs $1.00, there's no reason to pay more.
WOW! Don't pay $95.99 at Best Buy - this is the cable you need! January 14, 2007

I have a 56" Toshiba HDTV, and recently got HD digital cable. I used Component video cables in the past, and relized I now had HDMI connection. My first stop was Best Buy, and found their 2-3 brands of cables, all running over $80!!! For a CABLE!? So I checked on Amazon, and found this one sold by Abacus24-7 for $6. I figured I would get what I paid for, and nothing too great, but it was worth a try before blowing $100 at the store. Got my cable in 3 days, hooked it up and WOW!! Color and clarity of picture is awesome, and the sound was fine (just as good as before) I can not imagine the picture being any better by buying a Monster cable or anything else for 15 times the price. I HAD to write a review because this is a great deal, and I realized those other high price cables with the fancy name and packaging are probably not worth the money. Great deal. great product, fast delivery and hassle free buying. Thank you.

We recently purchased a new Samsung 46" 1080p HDTV and wanted to connect it with HDMI cables to be sure of good video and audio signals. We bought Monster Cables @ $129 each and also purcahsed cables from Amazon at $2.15 (at our son's suggestion) so that we could compare the quality the cables provided. As unbelievable as it sounds there was no difference between the cables....the audio and video was just as sharp with the inexpensive cables as it was with the much more expensive Monster Cables. Sometimes most expensive doesn't mean better.
