Worked for 7 Months Good Buy
Well as the old adage goes "You get what you pay for." In this case I paid about $5 including shipping for this product in November 2008. It's now June 2009 and the cable has given up the ghost.
I had it connected to my 24" Samsung monitor via HDMI out on my PC and it worked wonderfully for both that and my Blu-Ray player. Last week however I started to run into problems. Blue specks were distorting the picture on my monitor and causing the displayed picture to do some really funky things. I suspected it could be my graphics card or monitor but it turns out it was the cable.
I don't regret purchasing this cable at all because it was such a good price and it lasted for so long. I do have to warn any potential customers however that you may have to get a replacement in 6-8 months. This is a cheap cable and it wasn't manufactured to last as long as ones you will pay more for.
I'm not recommending going with a Monster HDMI cable but I do have to let you know that a $20 investment in a name-brand or higher quality cable might be in your best interest.
So I'm back to the 4ft DVI cable that came with my PC which should suffice for now as DVI and HDMI can send a crisp HD signal to my monitor.More detail ...
