Compared to my existing cables, this cable is flimsy and cheap looking. I could probably buy 15 of these 15ft cables (including shipping) for the money I paid for the existing 3ft cables. They really used it for consumers when HDMI was something new. I couldn't refuse replacing a flimsy cable to replace 5 heavy bulky cables. My wife decided she wanted to change the common room. I bought two of these cables to move my cable box and DVD player away from the TV. I left the TV in the same place. I then checked it out with the DVD and the original "VERY" expensive 3" HDMI cable. I then replaced the "very" expensive 3 foot cable with a cheap 15 foot cable. That same video looked the same with each cable. There is no point in moving the TV, connecting new cables and complaining about the different picture quality. The new environment, lighting, sound and height are completely different. I didn't expect any difference since the cable carries a digital signal and not an analog one they work great for my specific application I wouldn't use them in an application where they are frequently moved.
