CablesToBuy™ 5 FT ( 1.5 m ) HDMI to 5 RCA Component Video + Stereo Audio AV Cable Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I like how the product info mentions (I assume after the fact) how you can't do PC -> TV after someone tried.

The fact is, you won't be able to connect ANYTHING to ANYTHING with this cable. It's a POS that won't work. HDMI=DIGITAL, COMPONENT=ANALOG. Without a power source and a circuit board to convert the DIGITAL signal to ANALOG, well guess that, IT WON'T WORK. This cable is a FAKE. Don't waste your money!

VGA HD AV Cable Xbox 360 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased these cables (shipped from Vista Gaming Products) to use my Xbox360 with my Dell 24" 2405FPW Monitor.I was using some component cables before and the picture quality was good at 720p but I wanted to see what it looked like with the VGA cables.

Immediately the picture was softer looking and sort of blurry with a ghost image.I went through and tried all the different display settings in the 360 menus and on the monitor and the picture stayed the same way, a ghost image off to the right and a softer looking picture.I tried wiggling the connector ends to see if I could get it better on both the monitor side and the 360 side but had no luck.

These are just thin, cheaply made cables unlike the other better quality cables.I suggest spending a few more dollars on some better cables so you aren't throwing your money away like I did.

GE 22784 Ultra ProGrade A to A Flat HDMI Cable (25 Feet) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After first seeing the cables unlimited ultraflat hdmi cables (which top out at 15 feet), I was disappointed to find this cable so thick and so stiff.I wanted to run it under the rug from one end of the living room to the other, but it is so stiff between the rug and the pc and between the rug and the monitor that it seems "in the way" and it is thick enough for me to feel it under our somewhat thin carpet.

However, in its defense, I suspect an ultraflat would lower the quality of the signal at 25 feet, otherwise CU would have made a longer one, so I cannot really complain.Wishful thinking on my part should not cost the review of this product a star.

It is a flat cable; it appears to be well made, and it works as advertised

It has been noted elsewhere for other flat cables to be aware that if you have to make a turn under carpet, you will have a bulge because flat cables just do not bend that way (unlike round cables).It is perfect for a straight run.

I have minimized the "in the way" feeling by simply using Cables Unlimited ADP-3785 HDMI Female to Female Coupler and AmazonBasics High-Speed HDMI Cable (6.5 Feet/2.0 Meters) [Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging] to connect it to my monitor.Now my HTPC is behind the TV and I can use it as a computer with sound from the other side of the living room without having to deal with any wireless headaches or costs.

Xtremehd 4-PORT HDmi Switcher Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this device because my Sony TV has only one HDMI input, and it is currently being used by my Verizon FIOS connection. I needed a method to connect my new "Apple TV" to the Sony TV via a second HDMI connection.

The Xtreme HDMI switcher allows up to 4 HDMI inputs to share the single HDMI port on the Sony TV.

The setup was quick and easy, and it works like a charm. The small remote included with the device allows the user to switch between the incoming sources.

One caution: The switcher has the same footprint as the Apple TV device, but Apple Tech Support advised me to avoid stacking them because of the heat generated by the Apple TV device.

Inspire 1080p (6.6ft) 2m Hdmi Ps3 Cable Certified Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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!

Psyclone PSC47 HDMI Switch Switcher Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a simple solution to a nagging problem: not enough inputs on my HDTV and AV receiver. The problem is really more complicated than that: I have an old rear projection HDTV that has a single DVI input and an old AV receiver that does not have HDMI inputs at all. I was getting along by routing signals--HDMI, component, and optical audio--all over and setting up a Harmony 676 remote to control everything. It works but is very user unfriendly. If one of the setup signals is blocked, the system would be a mess and my wife would call me to "fix the TV." Clearly, leaving the TV and receiver in a default mode and switching inputs is the way to go.

Enter the Psyclone PSC47. This may be the only HDMI switch that also switches optical audio, too. People who only need to add additional HDMI inputs will probably find that the other HDMI switches are smaller and cheaper and are all that's needed. But for those who also need to switch optical audio, this is a godsend. It's set up so that the HDMI and optical audio from each device are sent to the switch. The HDMI output is then put through a DVI adapter connected to the TV. The optical audio is sent to the AV receiver. That's it. It's simple and works. I've been leaving the PSC47 on, but it could be switched on with the AV receiver.

This system also allows names to be added to the different inputs. It's a little painful entering all the characters but is worth the effort when finished. This system works similarly to the Psyclone PSC01, which is a component video switcher I use to switch among different gaming systems (Wii, V.Smile, and V.Smile Baby).

There really aren't any negatives. The display lights up but then turns dark after a few minutes. Some may prefer it to always remain on. The gain on each input is adjustable but I haven't needed to change any yet. Definitely recommended if you require optical switching. Worth getting if under $50 for those who only need to switch HDMI signals.

Product Description:
Do you find yourself running out of HDMI inputs on your receiver or HDTV? If you're like me, then the answer to that question is probably a resounding yes. The coming of HDMI greatly simplified home theater systems by combining the video and audio (and control) signals into a single cable. However, this simplicity also brings a problem to consumers. As more and more devices embrace HDMI, we're running into a problem of a limited number of HDMI inputs on receivers and HDTV sets. You could get around this by buying a high end A/V receiver with four HDMI inputs but these receivers are typically rather expensive. Could we solve this by connecting to an HDTV? Problematic there also as many HDTV's only have one or two or at most three inputs. What do you do then when you have an HDMI enabled cable box, PS3, and Xbox 360 and you only have two HDMI inputs to work with? You add an HDMI switch into the picture of course. Features of the Psyclone PSC47 include the following:?Four 1.3 HDMI inputs and one output?Four digital optical audio inputs and one digital optical audio output?Customizable LCD display for individualized input titles?Standard component sized steel chassis with brushed aluminum front panel?Gold plated HDMI connections?Measures 411 mm x 242 mm x 50 mm?Small remote controlThe PSC47 is a unique HDMI switch in that it comes with four optical audio inputs (TOSlink). This is especially useful if you have an older receiver that doesn't have any HDMI inputs but does have optical audio inputs.

1X4 PRO Series Powered HDMI Splitter (1.3b ATC Certified) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We have a complicated setup in our house requiring three HDMI splitters to take HDMI output from two TIVO Series 3 DVRs and one Blu-ray player to a variety of TVs and receivers around the house. I have some long HDMI cables to make all the connections that can potentially cause problems too. I had purchased and tried other splitters from Amazon for this purpose and they worked unreliably. My home theater installer also tired several pricey splitters which worked no better. I had spend a lot of money by this point and had little to show for it.

So, out of desperation, I purchased this splitter from Monoprice after reading about it on one of the AV forums. To my surprise, it worked perfectly. It still works perfectly to this day. I quickly bought two more identical splitters to completely replace my previous splitters. They all worked perfectly too. It's such a nice feeling to have all my previous frustration with the other splitters replaced with these three guys. I am a happy camper.

Toslink Digital Optical Audio Cable 6 ft. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As stated in other reviews, bits are bits. If they get from one system component to another, you're doing just as well with a $5 cable as a $60 one. Monster and other companies are ripping consumers off with gobbledeygook buzzwords designed to obscure the mind and open the pocketbook.

I have installed this cable in my system, and its performance delivering 5.1 channel audio and DTS from my PS3 to my receiver is flawless. It performs identically to the other more expensive optical cable I have.

As of my last check of this product page, $1.31 as a list price and $2.98 for shipping makes for a total of $4.29. This is an outrageously good deal, beating even many other discount outlets. If you have a receiver that uses optical digital for audio input (as opposed to HDMI, which most newer receivers utilize), you simply can't go wrong. A definite must-buy at this price.

HDMI Splitter (1 to 2) Premium Splitter Cable Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I thought this would be the perfect solution.I have the hi-def signal coming out of my HD DVR via HDMI and going into my Onkyo receiver.Before the splitter, I had to have the receiver on anytime I wanted to watch TV (pass-through only worked when receiver was on).With the splitter I had hoped to be able to pass the HD signal directly to the TV and then only use the audio through the receiver for sports, movies, etc.

The signal coming through the splitter was too weak to be able to be picked up by my Samsung HDTV.I figured this was a $16 gamble that was worth the shot, but unfortunately the splitter did not provide the two full-strength signals I required.(It did provide one signal that worked well enough to be picked up by the TV or the receiver, but not two.)

Premium HDMI 2 Ports Mini Switch (2X1) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Works perfectly. I bought my HD television before HD was the thing to have, so it only had on HDMI cable port. This switch allows me to plug both my HD SAT reciever and my Blue Ray player into the tv. I looked at the ones that has a remote for switching, but then figured "well you have to get up to put the disc in the player anyway." Plus I have too many remotes as it is, its just something else for the kids to not be allowed to play with who do anyway. It was inexpensive and does its job, what more can you ask for?
