FAQ:
1. What is the brand?
OEM manufacturer I guess, I don't know the brand (I think that's why it is so cheap hehe) but quality quite good, I've used it for a year. It work just fine. Just like the expensive cables when my friend showed me. I can't spot any difference.

2. Why don't I buy the more expensive cable?
It makes no difference, simple. A lot of website can testify that. Here's a renowned few and what they say:

CNET strongly recommends cheap HDMI cables widely available from online retailers instead of the expensive counterparts sold in your local electronics store. If cheap HDMI cables are good enough for the eagle-eyed video professionals at CNET, we're betting they're good enough for your home theater.
(http://reviews.cnet.com/2719-11276_7-226-3.html?tag=)

Expensive doesn't always equal better. When purchasing an HDMI cable at a local retailer, the consumer is often paying more for the packaging than the cable itself
(http://www.ehow.com/about_5315967_cheap-vs-expensive-hdmi-cable.html#ixzz1NnFxDa9Y)

Do not purchase the Monster cable no matter what the sales person tells you!
Purchasing the most expensive HDMI cable on the market will not make a difference to the picture quality on your TV.
Do yourself a favour and do your homework. Figure out how much cable you need for your home theatre setup before your purchase your HDTV or Blu-ray player. Buy the cheapest HDMI cable you can find and spend the money you saved on some Blu-ray movies instead.
(http://www.bombippy.com/archives/2008/12/expensive_hdmi.php)

HDMI Cable Makers and Dealers Use Misleading Labels to Push Needless Expensive Upgrades
Buying a more expensive HDMI “Hi Speed” cable , regardless of labeling or what a salesman tells you will not give you any improvement in picture quality. Use the money you save from falling victim to misleading HDMI packaging towards the purchase of products or services that will increase your enjoyment of HDTV such as a Blu-ray player, professional set-up and calibration or a surround sound audio system.
(http://hdguru.com/hdmi-cable-makers-and-dealers-use-misleading-labels-to-push-needless-expensive-upgrades/2175/)

Brand-Name HDMI Cables: Are They Worth It?
We pit two of them against a cheap generic cord in a blind test. The Results:
None of our editors could tell the difference. The fact is, HDMI is digital, meaning you either get the feed or you don't. High prices and gimmicks like gold-plating don't affect 1s and 0s. Our advice: Purchase your wiring online for cheap, and use the saved money to upgrade to a larger flat screen.
(http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/gadgets/tests/4235717)

3. HDMI 1.3, 1.3a and 1.3b, what's the difference?
All the same in specifications, as far as consumers are concerned, they are just revisions.

4. HDMI 1.3 only? Why not HDMI 1.4?
HDMI 1.4 only supports 4 more extra things compared to 1.3. Now they are very pricey. So only get it if you really need it.
They improvements are:
1) Higher resolution capabilities (allowing for Ultra High Definition 4K x 2K which is more for cinemas, current HDTV is only 1080p)
2) Support for 3D video at 1080p with compatible Blu-Ray Players, Set-top Boxes, PCs and TVs. (Better support for 3DTV)
3) Audio Return channel allowing audio from an HDMI 1.4 TV to be passed back to the receiver though the HDMI cable rather than having to run a separate audio cable to the TV (Most of our system only utilizes one-way audio traffic)
4) Ethernet link channel allowing all of your HDMI 1.4 devices to connect to the Internet though an existing HDMI cable provided that just one of your 1.4 devices is connected to the Internet via Ethernet or WiFi. (Our current HDTV ethernet link setup is by ethernet port and Cat5c cable)

So if you don't need it, just get the HDMI 1.3 and don't worry if you think you may need it in future cause most electronic items tend to go down in price. If you need HDMI 1.4 in future, I am sure the price has gone down a lot as more people using it. That's my 2 cents.


Hopefully the information fed by my friend helps.

I didn't have. I got office job 9-5 one. This one only helping ppl sell only. Everytime take the stock very fast deliver already. Didn't bother and lazy to take picture.

It's a 1.3b HDMI cable. Performs perfectly like what it is suppose to. I think most important is it works perfectly on the HDTV.

Don't worry. So far so good bro. I got a lot of ppl getting from me. No complains. Touch wood. Hehe. rclxms.gif
