 Works just as good as the expensive cables because it's digital. Sep 18, 2009
By Adam J. White
"Palehorse"
You don't need to plunk down 80 or 90 dollars for one of those expensive cables with the fearsome name and equally fearsome price. DVI and HDMI are digital standards with error correction. What does that mean?
In the analog days(Composite, Svideo, etc), other signals could creep in and cause noise or quality loss in the picture. Better shielded (and sometimes more pricey) cables prevented this noise from creeping in to eliminate this noise. However, with HDTV's and digital signals that move over cables like HDMI and DVI, even the cheapest cable can work as well as the expensive brand.
Digital signals are composed of 1's and 0's, or more simply, an on signal or an off signal. Millions of these 1's and 0's can be sent per second and form your image. Since the signal is either on or off, it is easy to figure out at the other end what the data for the image is, and the receiver at the other end (your television or monitor) reconstructs this signal into a pixel perfect image of what was sent.
Because of this method of using 1's and 0's these lines are not as susceptible to noise, and thanks to error correction that is built in, any noise that does creep in is corrected. Even if noise did somehow creep in, it wouldn't affect the image at the other end.
Digital only fails in levels of high noise, where the error correcting code can't compensate, and when it fails, it fails completely. What does this mean? It means that if you have a picture on your screen and it is working, you have a pretty much perfect image. If there is too much noise, you'll notice that it doesn't work at all or very noticeable blocks appear, and the image jerks and stops before it quits working. This gives you peace of mind about your signal, because if you are seeing it and it's working, you know you have the best quality image signal available. This is why when viewing over the air signals in digital format with the new digital transition, there is no more snow in the image, every channel that you can get is clearer than analog cable TV.
The only time the image should get enough noise to fail is not with cables, but with over the air transmissions from broadcast air stations. When transmitting such short distances over a cable in your home, this cheap cable is as good as the most expensive and most fearsomely named brand cable. I am currently using this cable for my monitor and I can see perfect detail down to the tiniest pixel (The individual dots that make up the image).

Nice cable for the price Jun 08, 2009

Works great and the price is fantastic. I use this to hook an Apple laptop with DVI-out up to my HDTV and picture looks great. No issues.

Great value! No need to waste money on a Monster Mar 16, 2005
By John Treble
I got my new HDMI-to-DVI cable and immediately connected it between my Toshiba up-converting DVD player and a Samsung 56" DLP TV. The picture is wonderful.
I don't see any point in spending more for a Monster cable when this one is available for a lower cost.
I have more than 20 years of experience as an electronics designer and manufactuing engineer. This cable would easily meet my quality standards.

Works great! Aug 19, 2009
By Matt White
Works great with my MacBookPro... Plugged it into my Panasonic plasma and the Mac picked up the monitor profile perfectly. Image quality was great!

Great product at an even greater price Jan 23, 2008
By Tired of Crappy Movies
Like many of the reviewers, i was skeptical about the incredibly low price. But what the heck, it's only a couple bucks. I compared the picture using store-bought cables and these and there is no difference. Had them for about 3 weeks now so i can't comment on durability. I love this cable though. Used to have gobs of wires running to my TV, now only one.
Product was shipped quickly too.
ETA: Was going through my reviews (first time ever) and saw this and figured i'd update it today (9/20/10). I've had these for over 2 years and still not a single problem. Picture is still sharp as ever and never any connection problems. Still cannot believe what the retailers charge for these cables compared to what you can get them for on here. Highly, highly recommend.
