This review is from: Wired–up v1.3A HDMI to HDMI Gold Plated Connectors 1.8m Cable for HD TV’s/ Xbox 360/ PS3 (Accessory)
I have this cable and a £40 one I bought when the Playstation 3 first came out, and I can safely say that the two produce an IDENTICAL image. There’s absolutely no difference in quality between this, extremely well priced one, and the over priced ones that the oh-so-convincing sales reps might convince you that you need. Disclaimer: HDMI cables are digital cables, not analogue, and therefore don’t differ in quality the way analogue leads used to.
the 1.8M cable in this case is perfectly long enough to come from the back of the television to any Blu-Ray player, PS3, Xbox 360, etc, with a little bit of give as well – and it’s not so long that the data transfer commits the image to loose quality (the length DOES make a difference with digital cables – shorter the better). If you have a HDMI port in the back of your monitor, you can also use this for that – I have tried it with both the PS3, and Xbox 360 and it looks fantastic. A perfect cable in all respects.

Hi,
I had been looking for sometime for a cable that could connect various consoles, blu-ray players etc to my newly purchased LCD HDTV. I had heard HD blows away the standard definition picture and so was looking for the best quality cable available to maximise this experience of HD for the first time.
As I read more and more reviews on the HDMI cables I began realising that there is no difference (apart from the profits for the company/commission for sales rep ;-)) between a £50-100 cable or a MUCH cheaper alternative. It was due to this I decided on this particular HDMI cable (I mean for the price, what did I have to lose in any case?)
The cable arrived very promptly after my initial order and was extremely well packaged. I connected the cable from the HDTV to my Xbox 360 straight away because I couldn’t wait to see for myself about the hype! I found the 1.8m length of the cable to be no problem whatsoever, in fact, it is almost the perfect length to connect two compatible machines that are placed quite close together as there is not much extra loose cable to try to hide or cover. Also, through researching I also found that the shorter the cable the better the chance of higher quality (I think this is due to the information that goes through the cable having less of a way to travel – but I’m no technical expert so don’t quote me on that! lol).
Anyway, once connected, I was amazed by the picture quality and found what everyone else was saying about how good the HDMI cable was to be true. I had no problems whatsoever in connecting, or any other hardware/software issues. It was literally connecting the cable, turning on both HDTV and Xbox 360 and using it exactly the same as before.
I see no drawbacks to this product and highly recommend it it, and especially considering the price, you can’t really lose out!
I hope this review has been helpful to you in deciding whether to get this HDMI cable or not. Thanks! 😉

I recently bought a 1080p HD TV so needed the requisite HDMI cable to enjoy a crystal clear picture (especially for the Xbox 360), imagine my joy when I disovered these cables at less than a quid!!!!! The picture is perfect, I’ve compared them with a friends M*nster brand cable and THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN PICTURE QUALITY!!! Don’t be fooled into buying vastly expensive alternatives, I can testify that these do job at a fraction of the price!
