great cable low cost May 25, 2008
After reading the reviews on this cable I went ahead and bought it. I though for only 5 bucks I can just trash it if it doesnt work. But I was wrong this HDMI cable made my PS3 experiance in 1080p possible. You will notice the difference as soon as you plug the cable up. On the PS3 you must restart the system and the PS3 will ask you if you want full optimal performance with a HDMI connection. I cant believe I almost bought the 60 dollar cable from sony, this cable is highly recommended with an blu-ray or ps3 system on a 1080p television. There is no point in having a ps3 and a hdtv without this cable.
Full 1080p resolution and digital audio. REAL DEAL! January 17, 2008

First off, for those that claim it does not work in 1080i, 1080p, you need to set BOTH units to the proper configuration. These cables DO NOT AUTOMATICALLY do it for you. No HDMI cables on the market can do that. In many tv's and dvd players, the HighDefinition mode must be set manually and even when that's done, the highest setting can only be achieved if both of the units support that resolution. For example, my Samsung player defaults to 720p, I have to hold down a button on the remote for it to change to 1080i. Go to Crutchfiled.com for more details, they have a great article on HDMI.
I agree like most people here this cable is the real deal. It's hard to believe it's selling for single digit dollars while simliar cables at the retail stores are asking for $40-$120 each.
As there are several vendors selling this product, I'm reviewing the one from ClearAV. I bought 3 of them for less than $25 shipped. The cables that came from ClearAV are apparently made by Inspire as it's stamped on the connector. Cables are all black except where the Inspire logo is (blue-green). It's flexible as any normal cable. I've read where some cables are too stiff.
Connection tests:
I have a brand new Samsung 4665 Full HD 1080p 1920x1080 tv. I connected the HDMI cable to the Sony Playstation 3, they both automatically detected the capabilities of each unit and saw that it was set to 1080p mode. Blu-ray movies were excellent. DVD movies were automatically upscaled to 1080p when I put in an older movie of Saving Private Ryan and the newest Live Free or Die Hard. Audio was transmitted correctly as the TV detected the presence Dolby Digital signal.
Second test was with the same TV, but with a different player, a Samsung DVD 1080i player. Connected a 2nd cable to it and the TV automatically detected 1080i. Audio was streamed over correctly as the display screen on the DVD player showed Dolby Digital 5.1. Sound was just like it was before when I used an optical cable. Of course now, the optical cable is no longer needed because of the HDMI cable.
With the successful results of the video and audio tests, I can conclude that all digital video and audio signals were apparently streamed over successfully. They appear to meet the HDMI 1.3 specs. I would ABSOLUTELY buy 3 or 10 more of these when I get more HDMI components. What a DEAL!

I was at first concerned that a cable that cost so little (and probably what it should actually cost) may have some issues with quality. Be cautious of who you buy your cables from. I specifically bought these "inspire" HDMI cables from Clear AV for their quality. People have had alot of complaints over cheap HDMI cables not performing well with their Playstation 3 in full 1080p. This is not true with these cables. They perform just as well as the Monster cables some pay $50-100 or more for.
I have noticed alot of confusion on how the HDMI cables are listed between all the various Amazon stores. Just makes sure you are buying them from Clear AV. You wont be disappointed and the customer service is great, which to me is more important than the products I buy.
JUST GIVE THEM A TRY!!!
These cables meet the latest standards in data transfer rates.
Cables are pretty much cables but when it comes to HDTV/HDMI quality cables you need to make sure they are quality manufactured. Especialy since HDMI cables have specifications they need to meet. (Such as 5GHz and later technologies will need 1.3B Certified cables which these could very well be. HDMI is a later design of it's sister cable DVI; which was bulkier so you couldn't do in-wall installs, didn't carry HD audio, and a few other areas)
