«Great for Xbox 360»
I've recently bought two of these at the same time one for my self the other for a friend to be used with our xbox 360's. After hooking mine up, I went straight into the systems video settings where i was surprised to be greeted by a large number of resolution settings to choose from.
( and... THEY ALL WORKED! as opposed to other types of connections 360 to VGA or some kind of Component to VGA box adapter).
I'm rather pleased with this cable I'm currently running the system on 1920x1080 wide screen and even though my monitor is not wide screen I can't see any problems with my image at all I love it! The HDMI end of the cable is nice and thin which makes it easy to have it sit along side an other xbox 360 cable Not the component microsoft version though it's plastic housing is too large, you could remove it though there are guides on line for this if you wish to try. I don't have sound on this monitor Samsung SyncMaster 730B so I just used the regular RCA red yellow and white cables that came with the 360 and hooked up the sound portion of the cable to my speakers.
I'd recommend this to anyone who wants better display for their games on just about any monitor Mine is a 4:3 aspect ratio and it works great even at the highest wide screen rez so go for it!

«Phenomenal Value!»
So, this isn't the most technical review, but I just wanted to let others out there know that if you've been on the fence about purchasing this cable, vs. one of the other more expensive ones, ABSOLUTELY get this one!
After a recent purchase of a 1080p upconvert DVD player for my boyfriend's birthday, I accidentally bought the wrong cable (one of the waaaay pricer ones) and rather than return it, I just gave it to my brother that needed one...anyway, that left me with a decision of whether to heavily invest in yet another cable, or pay $6.50 and take a chance that this one might work.
Soooo, I bought this one and had the cable shipped directly to my boyfriend. He excitedly called me as he plugged it in and he "oohed and ahhhd" as he switched to the new resolution. Anyway, he's the more techie kinda guy that can talk resolution and hz and all that other stuff that goes beyond me and he didn't know the difference between this fantastic little find vs. the other kind.
This is the best investment I've made in a long time! And the seller is great!!! From the time I placed the order to receipt of the cable was 3 days!!!!

«Works Great!»
Not a whole lot to say except that this cable works as advertised. I've compared it to some of my more expensive HDMI cables and cannot notice any discernible difference in both audio and video quality. A great little cable at an even littler price. Go for it, you can't go wrong.
