AmazonBasics High-Speed HDMI Cable (9.8 Feet/3.0 Meters) [Supports 3D + Audio Return Channel]

AmazonBasics products are quality electronics accessories offered at a great value.

This HDMI cable was literally plug and go for both the image and the sound. I had read reviews elsewhere with other HDMI cords that although the HDMI cable transmits the image automatically for some TVs, you then have to set up the sound by way of following your TV's user manual HDMI settings. Not an issue here! I plugged one end into my HDMI port on my Sharp Aquos and I plugged the other into my Sony Vaio FW. I selected the mode which correlates to the HDMI port, and both the sound and image came on right away. Image and sound were great for streaming movies and internet pages from the laptop at home. If you purchase high speed HDMI cables at Best Buy or Radio Shack, the starting price is $40-$50. For home usage, this works just fine without having to pay alot.

Really, that is the main point of all of the reviews. Why waste $$$ on cables that do not offer any tangible benefit? The high-speed HDMI cables from Amazon basics offer 10.2GBS of transfer speed at a fraction of the cost. Will they prematurely fail? Probably not, but even if they do when compared to the Monster MC 1000HD-2M Ultra-High Speed HDTV HDMI Cable (2 meters) you can buy 15 sets of these HDMI cables when compared to Monster. Also, Amazon Basics provides a 1 year warranty, so there is no risk in skipping the Monster cable and buying these. Final Verdict - If you really have the need to waste your money on expensive cables please buy the Amazon Basics...and send me a check for the difference in the price. 5 Stars.

Works fantastic - can't beat the price, don't hesitate to purchase these cables. I've bought 4 of them so far and I'm thrilled with the quality and value.

Yes, you can pay Monster a ridiculous amount of money for their cables but I'm not sure that most humans' eyes and ears could tell the difference. These cables work great and they're a tremendous value. Way to go Amazon!

The cable is great, except occasionally it doesn't transfer the sound to my new Vizio tv.
