Alright I have an HDMI cable that I bought for less then 5 dollars it (WORKS) as great as any other HDMI cable. I was forced to buy a more expensive HDMI cable when I deployed which happen to be a MONSTER brand cable. there wire is amazing I love it it looks neat and works exceptionally. Their HDMI cable works just as well as the 5 dollar cable I bought until it just stopped working there for to me there HDMI cables are garbage (for the price). like I said an HDMI cable is an HDMI cable until it doesn't work and then it is an expensive non working cable. Don't buy this cable it doesn't have any special powers to make your video cleaner your sound clearer if anything it only makes your bank account smaller. on the flip side it does look alot cooler then the 5 dollar cable but the 5 dollar cable does not promote a brand name and is one solid color that is going to be hidden anyway so ultimatly its your choice.
