Cables are approximately 6ft long February 3, 2010

I don't have much to say about these cables. The only reason I am writing this review is because the cable length is not listed. These cables are 2 meters long, or approximately 6 ft. I hope this helps someone.
The way to go if you need more than one cable February 10, 2010

I've been using one of these - got the one-wire deal - with an HD monitor and I'm as happy as one can be with a well-built digital cable. The 3-pack should provide the same quality and service. Just to clear any doubt, this cable works as well as any other 6 ft. HDMI wire (probably because they are all made in the same factory overseas), including the premium ones and it's probably not better than those that sell at Amazon for one penny (plus S&H, coming down to just about the same price). Also, it's no worse than the so-called 'premium' brands that rarely offer much more than a brand name and maybe a pretty-looking connector in addition to what the cheap cables do.
In fairness, the 'ULTRAFAST' designation means NOTHING other than a nice marketing word so don't buy this cable because it's supposed to be 'ultrafast' because it isn't any faster than any other cable. If you look at the HDMI 1.3 specs I posted at the bottom of this review, the 10.2Gbps follows the EXACT HDMI specs all cables are EXPECTED to support:
- Maximum TMDS bandwidth (Gbit/s) 10.2
When it comes to decide which brand to order I always go with the 'cheap' ones because, to the extent that they comply with the HDMI specs, you don't get better service from the more expensive brands. And the ironic thing is that the more expensive and sophisticated the hardware that the HDMI cable connects, the less you are going to need a so-called 'high quality' cable because the more advanced receivers have the ability to correctly interpret the weak or ambiguous signals that the cheaper or less advanced hardware may have trouble with. In any case, the HDMI consortium is confident that at this short length most HDMI cables will perform well.
Since these cables are sold by Amazon, anyone who may be concerned about possible issues should keep in mind that they can take advantage of Amazon's easy return policy. If you are returning the item because it came defective or damaged Amazon pays for shipping it back and offers a full refund or a replacement. You can also return anything for any reason for as long as the item was not damaged and you pay for shipping it back.
I would definitely go with the 3-pack if I needed more than one cable.

Good value and reasonable quality February 4, 2010

If you need several HDMI cables, or wish to have a spare, this is a very good deal. I got it as a lightning deal, making it an unquestionable bargain. But even at its regular price, it compares well to the competition. The minimalist packaging is a plus for me too.
There are some who think that with digital, it either works or it doesn't so quality does not matter. That's not true. There's no such thing as digital data except in theory. Digital and analog data are both nothing more than ways of getting electrons to travel through wires. With digital, it's used in a way that's analogous to zeros and ones, but you could never squeeze a zero or a one through a wire. Electrons are going to make it through a wire just as effectively whether they are carrying analog or digital data, but with digital data your equipment is able to make up for bad packets with appropriate software algorithms. But a faulty connector on one wire could mess up your signal. Leakage and cross talk as well as outside interference can all affect how well the electrons coming out represent the ones that went in. It's good to have well made cables to begin with.
I'm not convinced that a $500 cable will have more intrinsic merit than one of these, but I would recommend one of these over budget cables that may lack proper shielding or lack proper termination. I'll leave it up to others to expound on the merits of anything better.
If you've ever seen digital broadcasts or media from digital sources, you know that there are occasional artifacts such as spurious blocky looking patches on the screen, pictures that freeze momentarily or seem to fade into others while wiping away a frozen image. It's easy to dispel the myth that digital either works or it doesn't. Sometimes, the fix for these problems is to swap out a faulty cable. This three pack might even leave you with a spare and still be worth the price.
3 six foot long cables for a great price! February 10, 2010

I am very happy with this purchase. I got it as one of the hourly deals under "Today's Deals", so I'm extremely pleased with the price. Not much I can write about cables except that they work perfectly and the price is right!
Quality HDMI Cables - Highly Recommended! February 4, 2010

This 3-pack of Cables Unlimited HDMI Cables are a great value (I picked them up in a "Lightning Deal", so it was even better). The cables are well made and have good quality connectors that should last a long time. The cables are 6', a good length for my entertainment rack, and worked perfectly out of the box.
I also like the minimal packaging that these come in, just cables in box. Perfect!
Highly Recommended!
