Mediabridge Ultra Series - High Speed HDMI Cable - Category 2 Certified - Supports 3D & Audio Return Channel - (15 Feet) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was originally just looking for a cheapo HDMI cable to tide me over until I could figure out which hideously expensive cable(s) to buy for my new Master BR PDP/Blu-ray combo. Based on reviews I read here on Amazon, I started with the 6' (w/o outer nylon braid) and was so impressed, I bought another 6-footer and the 15-footer shown here (both with the outer nylon braided jacket) for my new HT rig in the living room. The 15' cable is perfect for my install: PDP mounted over the fireplace and the Blu-ray located about 6' to the side (in order to clear the fireplace and the two adjacent flanking windows). I'm not sure I needed the "extra" protection of the outer cable jacket, but for an extra buck or two, I thought it looked cool, LOL! I was impressed that they're not only made here in NJ (Cherry Hill), but are of excellent quality. Each comes professionally packaged in an individual heavy-guage cardboard box, with the cable carefully coiled with ties and sealed in a plastic bag. Each connector has it's delicate gold-plated pins protected by hard plastic caps....a nice touch on a "cheapo" cable.
Bottom Line: An absolute steal in a HDMI v.1.3 (12-bit deep color support)cable! Picture quality is outstanding and no issues with video/audio "lip sync". FWIW, I'm using Mediabridge between a Pioneer BDP-51FD BonusView Blu-ray Player and Panasonic Viera TH-42PX80U 42-Inch 720p Plasma HDTV in the Master BR, and another Pioneer BDP-51FD and Pioneer PDP-5020FD 50-Inch 1080p KURO Plasma HDTV in the living room. The Pioneer Kuro, coupled with the companion BD player, are ruthlessly revealing of inferior video quality. The Mediabridge cable aquits itself admirably with this combo, with no visible loss of PQ with the 15' length (as compared with the 6' version). The cables even look nice, especially the braided ones. Save your money....Noel Lee at Monster Cable has enough mansions and yachts, LOL! Use the money you saved by not supporting AudioQuest, Monster, etc. on Blu-ray discs or whatever else that turns you on. All this from an admitted high-end cable junkie...I have lots of Monster, AQ, MIT, etc. cable for my hi-fi and (past) home theatre rigs.
