Overall, the quality of these cables feel really solid, and the support bracket is a huge plus. I did not have any audio glitches or dark image issues that others had with the Prism cables. Perhaps they secretly updated the firmware on the latest models? They look identical in brightness to my Wii component cables, albeit sharper because of the better video output from the Gamecube. Really nice to use with my RetroTink 5X, as I don't want to use any HDMI dongles.
