Customer Reviews for Cables To Go - 40315 - 2M (6.5ft) Velocity HDMI Digital Video Cable (Blue)

Does not provide a tight connection!

I used these cables for more than a couple of months, and they seemed to work well. I've read that a digital signal either gets there, or it does not. I purchased 3 of these "cables to go." Well, every once in a while, I would have the video blink out and then quickly blink back on in a DVD movie. I was not able to reproduce the error, as it was completely random, and never in the same place of the movie. Normally, it was once per movie or every other movie. I thought maybe it was my player malfunctioning. With component and composite cables, I would check to make sure they were tight, so why not with HDMI. I just ever so slightly wiggled the HDMI connection right where it attached to my Sony HDTV. What do you know, the video blinked out and quickly back on from the slight wiggling, just like I experienced in the movies. Ok I thought, maybe it was my HDMI port on my Sony? So, I tried the wiggle test on another port, AND on ANOTHER HDTV, and using ALL 3 of these cables I purchased on both my Sony and my Panasonic HDTV's. Guess what? The video blinked off and on again with the wiggle test, no matter where it was connected. An extremely loose connection to be sure. It wasn't just 1 of these cables, but all 3 I had. I replaced all my "cables to go" cables with a different brand, and they all withstand the "wiggle test." Approximately 1 month and 12 or so movies later, no more random video drop outs. Conclusion: Even on 2 different HDTV's and different HDMI ports, these 3 different "cables to go" cables had an extremely loose connection. Apparently an HDMI signal that doesn't fit tightly can lose connection and cause dropouts. Don't buy these "cables to go." The actual cable might be fine, but the HDMI male connectors are not so good.

It worked for 7 months that's it. Not happy but like always you get what you pay for.

Good cheap cable

Got this cable to connect my PS3 to my LCD. It was considerably cheaper than those you find in places like Bestbuy or even Walmart. As far as I can tell it has fulfilled it's purpose, without fail, since day one. I recommend this product and this vendor. Have purchased from Cables to Go before and have nothing negative to say.

Failed in two weeks

Stay away from this product. I saw many positive feedbacks on this and ordered one for my new sony 40" LCD TV. It worked fine for just two weeks and then stopped working

Best value anywhere

I was surprised to see a cable with so many reviews and a great price. Since we got our Panasonic plasma I was worried about all the accessories. Got it for our DVD link and the quality is great, better than our "other companent links". I havent compared it with similar cables from different brands so cant comment much about its quality over other competing cables. But overall best value for money, stop by any retailer and you will know it.
