Our take on the Channel Master

If you're not using an HDMI cable to connect your HDMI-equipped components and TVs, you could be missing out on the best possible high-def picture and sound. These cables meet the HDMI 1.3 spec, with support for 1080p video, as well as for the lossless surround sound formats found on more and more Blu-ray movies.

Great Product. Too Short! - Get the 6' version

Written By Chesuyli, Atlanta, GA on Friday, July 22, 2011
 
As with many reviews, you can take with a grain of salt. However on this product. DO NOT buy it! Go ahead and get the 6' version.

I purchased two 3' and it BAAAARRREEELY fit from the TV to anything else. Luckily, I had two 6' ones lying around that can fill in the roles.

2 of 3 Worked Fine, One Did Not

Written By John, Westchester County, New York on Friday, August 13, 2010
 
Bought 3 of these cables to go with a new home theater setup including a 50" Samsung Plasma TV, an Onkyo Home Theater Receiver, Samsung Blu-ray player, and a nice speaker setup. When watching Blu-ray discs or DVDs, the screen and sound kept going blank about every 10 minutes for about 1-2 seconds at a time. And this was after sending back what seemed like a defective receiver that seemed to be the cause of the very same problem. Finally changed the HDMI cable with a new one, problem solved. Have not had any further blank outs/black outs of screen or sound for the past 4 days, with lots of Blu-ray and DVD watching.

When researching the issue online, I read an article by a guy who worked at an HDMI cable manufacturer who said that about 10% of all their HDMI cables are defective. HDMI is apparently very particular. Does not take much to make one not work.

I still think one does not need to spend a fortune on HDMI cables. Probably anything under $30, so long as it is the right specs, is ok. Maybe the likelihood of issues goes up as the price goes down, not sure. But my computer engineer son tells me that the high price cables are totally overkill, and really do nothing more than the cheaper ones can do, assuming they are all up to minimum spec for one's system. This, he says, is the difference between digital and analog. With analog, the higher quality wire does make a big difference.

Price and image quality is right

Written By Peter, Milwaukee, WI on Friday, June 11, 2010
 
Price was right- a tad short (my fault) - go with a 6 foot unit. (3 feet is shorter than you think)
