Customer Review: Great cables for PS3 XBOX 360 and anything HDMI
Summary: 5 Stars
I received these cables extremely fast even over a holiday weekend, I spent a few minutes searching for good quality HDMI cables to replace existing ones that I had for about a year for an HD DVR receiver and PS3 and a new XBOX360. The main reasons I began my search was because the existing cables I had, both different brands but both purchased at well know retail stores and both being over 30$ a piece, had problems with flickering and dropping picture for a few minutes on start up on the PS3 system. It was always something I chalked up to just being something with the system and TV, but it had done it since day one. After really thinking about it and being ticked off that it wasn't working as it should I said I'm going to replace these cables and give my XBOX360 some love. I liked the reviews on the media bridge HDMI cables and the price was even better but I wasn't 100% sure they were gonna be any different. The moment I open the box and got my hands on these cables I could see they were legit, great feel to them and very durable, built very well and strong better then both big name cables I was about to replace. Hooked the cables up and both had that fit all tech savvy people know and love, and turned on the system and boom PS3 was happy, no jumping screen or flickering or dropping and re appearing. I'm happy I bought 3 of these cables because everything I have now is plugged in snug with these cables. Bottom line great cables and I mean great because build, cost, and style. Also a great thing about these cables are they are set up for future use since the are fast and 1.4v grade, my TV is still a 1.3 but while thinking of upgrading I know my cables will not need to be changed. If you've read this review sorry to drag on but just stop reading and click proceed to checkout these are the last HDMI cables you'll need and media bridge so far is a company I trust.Customer Review: High quality cable at a great price.
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently purchased 3 of these for my home theater setup which contains an Onkyo TX-SR606 receiver, an Onkyo DV-BD606 Blu-ray player, a Playstation 3 game console and a Roku Digital Video Player. I initially purchased a 6ft HDMI cable made by Monster Cable for around $80 for the the connection from the receiver to the TV and needed 3 additional HDMI cables for the rest of my media centers connections. After some extensive research and shopping around I decided on these and I could not be happier. The build quality of these is exceptional. They are thick and well shielded and the picture and sound quality is equal to that of the 8x more expensive Monster cables. Also, one important consideration is that these are certified to be compliant with the HDMI 1.3 specification, meaning that they have greater bandwidth and are capable of transmitting via bitstream Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio (2 newer Lossless or uncompressed audio formats) as well as supporting xvYCC and Deep Color (essentially these 2 newer standards make colors look more vibrant and real), all necessary for today's HDTV's and for lossless audio for surround sound systems and blu-ray players that support these newer standards.
Here is a link explaining the new HDMI 1.3 standard:

I spent a lot of money on my home theater setup and wanted to ensure I was getting high quality cables that would provide the highest throughput for the best quality picture and sound possible. These definitely fit the bill and saved me over $200. If you need HDMI cables, these are the best I have seen at this price point with specs and build quality equal to the much more expensive Monster cables. So, save your money and get these, you won't be disappointed.
Customer Review: I recommend these more than I recommend having kids!
Summary: 5 Stars
These work great! I'm sure some kids do too, but child labor's illegal in most countries and these are cheaper anyway. Not only that, but you don't have to feed them or change their diapers. Just plug them in and leave them there and they'll be happy.
Before I found these, I had a crap brand with some kind of "protective shielding" on it that did nothing except make the cable awkward to handle and position correctly. Not only that, but they had a casing around the connector that was poorly designed and snapped together, though it did not hold; because of that, the signal the cables sent to my TV was not fully intact, causing random burps of pixels to scatter across my screen ala "snowiness."
Fear not that you will have such problems with these cables! They are flexible enough to maneuver through even the most regular of wired setups and the casing around the connector is molded so you don't have to worry about it splitting open and exposing the wires.
I have had these plugged into my PS3 for 1 whole month now (you read correctly) and I already know these will last several lifetimes, at least under normal operating conditions and for their intended purpose.
Can you get cheaper cables? Yes. Do they work just as well? It's not impossible. Will they last longer than a day before they broke? Mine didn't.
I guess the bottom line is that these are worth [...] bucks and if you want to connect two devices that are less than 6 feet away with up to 1080p input/output, these will do the job no questions asked (just like a hitman).
Customer Review: Best HDMI Cable you can buy. Period.
Summary: 5 Stars
Don't be fooled by the price... This is truly an exception to the adage "you get what you pay for." The Mediabridge HDMI cables are the best HDMI cables you can buy. Period. Regardless of price or the salespitch that the "home theater guy" at your electronics store gives you.
I own a Panasonic Blu-ray player, and I recently purchased my first 1080p HDTV. My previous setup involved hooking up my Blu-ray player to my 720p LCD via a "no-name" Category 1 HDMI cable. Of course, that worked fine, as I only ran Blu-rays at 720p. When I stepped up to the 1080p, I tried using the same Category 1 cable as before because I initially was a believer in the "all HDMI cables are the same" school of thought. It "worked" but the performance was spotty and there were artifacts here and there. I did some research and found out that 1080p needed a "Category 2" HDMI cable. So, I came to Amazon and found out about these Mediabridge cables... 1080p, 120Hz, Category 2, Version 1.3, and considering all the amazing reviews about them, I thought I would try them out. If they didn't work out, it was only a $10 loss!
Well, add me to those amazing reviews! They didn't just "work out," they were downright stunning. The cable was very well put together, sturdy connectors, thick cable. Picture quality pristine. Sound quality fantastic. No glitches, no artifacts, no problems whatsoever. To truly test them out, I had a friend bring over his ever-so-valued Monster cable to test. Performance was identical. Price... was not. These truly are the best HDMI cables you can buy.
Customer Review: Worth Every Penny... and then some
Summary: 5 Stars
So I've had my fair share of HDMI cables over the years. I have a Rocketfish one from Best Buy that I use for my DirecTV and that has never given me problems. However, I've been through 5 cables for my DVD player, then PS3. I used to think all HDMI cables are the same and just go ahead and order them because they looked nice, or because they were cheap. But after a while, each one would start acting up. From horrible blacks with spots all in them, or interrupted signal, to complete signal loss I was getting really frustrated. For the longest time I thought it was my TV, I thought maybe the HDMI input on the side of my TV was messed up since I wasn't having that issue with the one used for my DirecTV. I would constantly have to wiggle my cable, or unplug it and replug it and wait and hope it would be better and last me throughout the movie. It used to be really embarrassing when I had friends over and we were watching a movie or playing a game and my TV would stop working.
Then I finally decided to do some research and came to find that not all HDMI's are created equal. The contrasts and picture quality with this one are great, comparable to my Rocketfish one (although I paid MUCH more for the Rocketfish cable). I don't use it for sound transfer since I have the optical connected to a surround sound so I can't really comment on that. Definitely worth the price. Stop going for the cheap ones (Although this one is actually really cheap) and put in that extra $2-$3 and get this one. It'll last longer and make that money you spent on your awesome TV more worth it.
