Review by Austin Guy 2005, 2009-05-05

Met all my expecatations of working like any other HDMI cable (since it's all digital now the cable doesn't really matter anymore, it's all 1s an 0s so as long as they get their destination that's all you can really ask for)

I bought these cables in 2006 when they were a better bargain at $35. When I first got them they worked fine. But as another poster has indicated, the connectors are of very poor construction. The weight of the cable stresses the connector over time and the metal HDMI connector starts to *bend* or separate from the plastic housing. In my case, signal quality to the HDTV was affected with intermittent signal loss resulting in screen artifacts on my HDTV. Once I replaced the cable the artifacts went away. For +$60 per cable one would expect them to last forever, and certainly longer than the 1.5 years I've had them. Good inexpensive HDMI cables with solid connector construction will work just as well as expensive cables since the transported signal is digital 0's and 1's.

If you have an HDTV you should get an HDMI cable it gives you the best picture and sound.

I needed an HDMI to HDMI cable for my PS3 - unfortunately I purchased a cheaper HDMI cable that would not allow 1080P display only 1080i (which is totally bogus - I'd like to whip the seller with it), so I had to buy another cable. After some research I found this AR Cable. I am very happy with it; from quality to styling! It was a bit pricey but well worth it! I usually stick to monster cables but this one is on the level. I will be using more AR products in the future...

This cable worked fine for over a year. It looks nice, and the mesh sleeve is a nice touch. The end that was plugged in to my home theater PC had no problems, but the end plugged in to my TV was pulled at a slight angle due to the location of my HDMI port. Eventually the gold part of the connector on the TV side worked itself loose from the rest of the cable and the whole thing stopped working. There is some strain relief in the material surrounding the plug, but I believe the plug itself is just glued in. If you do use this cable, be sure that the ends are plugged directly in to the ports with no undue tension.

The price on this cable was also too high. I have since followed the recommendations of the folks at AVSForum and stuck with Blue Jeans Cable / Monoprice. I have found that the lower priced cables, especially ones as short as 6 feet, have no problems driving displays up to 1080p, and I have never seen any "sparklies" (indicative of a pixel that didn't get transmitted properly) or other differences between one cable and another. I recommend buying solely on the basis of price and build quality, and while both are adequate for this cable, you can do better.
