Where's the version number?
According to HDMI, version numbers reflect capabilities, but do not correspond to product features. In other words, HDMI does not require manufacturers to implement everything that HDMI can do. HDMI provides a menu of capabilities and allows the manufacturer to choose which of those features make sense for its product line.
For example, if you want the new video features called Deep Color, look for Deep Color in the feature set rather than HDMI 1.3, the version of the specification that enabled Deep Color. Why? Because the version of the specification that enables Deep Color (1.3) does not mandate that Deep Color functionality be implemented.
As a result, HDMI strongly recommends that consumers look for products with the features they want, rather than the version number of the HDMI components.

Great CablesJuly 20, 2010 J. Monteleone(San Francisco, CA USA) These are great high quality cables. They work perfectly. It is a wonder that Monster still has a business.
Utterly Useless for Office UseJuly 13, 2010 D. A. Mawson(Boston, MA USA) I won't waste anyone's time with discussing the relative merits of EMR resistance, cable stiffness, smell (what?) or cost (as if @ $14 is a travesty for anyone), etc. I'll cut right to the proverbial chase.
Stupid me; I actually ordered this based on a prior review suggesting that it would improve video quality over a standard DVI connection on my ViewSonic VX2433wm monitor. Silly me! I have a Sapphire HD4670 card and I simply cannot get the HDMI cable to display clearly in 1920 x 1080.
Not only is the screen incredibly blurry in 1920 x 1080, but underscan is persistent. This is sheer garbage. Perhaps someone out there can elucidate on how to get this to work. But, if I can't get quality screen display, this thing is going right back to Amazon.
Buyer beware; unless you're hooking this up to an HDMI large screen TV for family/living room use, I would advise against it. This is absolutely inferior to either DVI or VGA for office work.
not what I was hoping forJuly 7, 2010 James J. Schraufnagel(wisconsin) I am willing to concede that my problem might be the cheep dvd player I am using this on, but the result I found was that the good quality rca cables that I had on gave a more clear and vibrant color picture. I really thought the HDMI was going to be the bomb, but after switching back and forth several times, I ended up putting the HDMI cable back in the box and leaving it the way it was. If anyone has a suggestion for me, I'm willing to hear it.
Great HDMI cable for the money!June 30, 2010 Lynn C This HDMI works so well, and at a fraction of the price of "Monster" brand cable. I bought this to connect my new LG BD 550 Blu-Ray player to my 46" HDTV. I'm very pleased with its performance at such a low price.
Cheap and great productJune 24, 2010 Chrissy(Rockville, MD USA) Comparing it to the HDMIs that are sold everywhere else, these are very cheap and deliver on their promise. Since I'm new to the whole HD revolution, this cable delivers an amazing picture. Definitely worth buying it.
