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!

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.

Value Pack - PTC Premium FULLY SHIELDED Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter w/15ft HDMI Gold Series Cable - works with all Macbook, Macbook Pro, Macbook Air with mini DisplayPort Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this product to connect a MacBook to a Panasonic HDTV set. The hardware worked right out of the box -- very easy set up and relatively high-quality physical build. I wasn't overly impressed with the resulting video quality, though -- edges that should've been sharp appeared a bit fuzzy and there was some color aberration throughout the image. The result, while arguably better than an analog VGA signal, just didn't match my expectations for what a digital-quality signal should've looked like. (It's not an issue with the laptop or the TV. Both produce crystal-clear signals using different outputs and video sources, respectively.)

I don't have another adapter or length of HDMI cable, so it's difficult for me to experiment to find whether my problems indicate an issue with the adapter or with the cabling. My guess is that it's probably the adapter -- while it came in a package designed to mimic Apple's cable packaging, there wasn't any identification about the company that manufactured the item. Not much in the way of accountability here.

Blue Echo Solutions hd EZ lock Universal Locking HDMI Cable Adapter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There are other methods out there to ensue your HDMI cables don't fall out of their intended sockets (e.g., Accell B104C-010B-40 AVGrip Pro HDMI 1.3 10.2 Gbps Cable, with locking Connector (10 feet / 3 meters, Black) - which also works, BTW!), but these are cheaper, and work with any cable mfr you want to use. The instructions are easy, and cover several installation complication possibilities. My TV, Sony KDL-52XBR5, has recessed HDMI ports. Well, a adapter posts and screws are included and work perfectly! My AV receiver's (Onkyo 805) HDMI ports are not recessed and the mount works with the Onkyo screw.
Highly recommended!
Oh, I bought them directly from Blue Echo's website...

HDMI to Ypbpr Component RGB / VGA Converter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I need this product, or something like it.

I have a very good TV that has no HDMI input, just the classic Component Video, and some other not so good interfaces, such as RF, Composite Video and S Video along with audio left and right jacks.

I have devices that have HDMI and need a way to get the HDMI interface working so I can feed all HDMI devices into a preamp without having to cable-up the Component Video and audio cables. (You still need HDMI, regardless of classic video and audio if you want proper HDTV and its audio).

HDMI specifications will not allow your equipment to down-convert the HDMI (up-converted or not) to Component Video (and its audio) once it is HDMI.The preamp can up-convert to HDMI if a non-HDMI device is attached to it and it supports this feature, but does not down-convert.I do not know if it is because the consumer electronics industry wants the majority of TV sets to become immediately obsolete or if it has something to do with HDCP (Hollywood scared of Piracy).I do not care why; I just want it to work until my TV finally dies on its own (it is a great TV, better than most flat panels out there).

This device provides this down-convert ability, at least to a Component Video resolution (not real 1080P, but as good as the Component Video spec will allow).It also will allow you to attach a computer monitor to it with a switch to set either VGA (RGB) or Component Video... but not both at the same time.I did not test the VGA port.I am quite sure it works just fine.

This device does the job. I would give it five stars, except the audio is unacceptable.Makes loud cracking noises.Maybe it is a singular product defect and could be replaced with another, or maybe just bad design.

The video is five stars (not perfect video, but that is a limitation of Component Video); the audio is zero stars, resulting in three stars for the product.

Its audio has both classic RCA Left and Right jacks, and fiber (TosLink) outputs.I have no idea about the format (codec) you get out of the TosLink output.Both are hosed up.I personally do not need the audio so I personally do not care about it.

Because I do not care about the audio I did not pursue a replacement.The Video part of this is what I needed and I am happy with it.If you need audio, you may or may not have problems.

This will work for most people because they play the audio through their stereo system and simply need to pass video to their "obsolete" TV.

Hope this helps...

Brite-View BV-2500 Wireless HD Video Transmitter and Receiver Kits Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)WOW...

My purchase before this item was a logitech universal remote. I spent 10 hours and 2 calls to India to set up and I ended up not using the RF remote because it didn't work.

REASON FOR PURCHASE (APPLICATION):
I wanted to gift my mom the ability to watch her DirecTV in the kitchen on the new 23" Samsung I got her. We didn't want to go through the hassle of having another big DirecTV HD DVR box and more coaxial line run around the house, so I bought the Briteview.INSTALL:
1. Plugged HDMI cable from Family room DTV receiver to back up base unit (kept the component video and audio plugged into cinema receiver for the main TV).
2. Plugged BV-2500 base unit into wall.
3. Placed Infared receiver over the DTV receiving IR port
4. 40ft away and through 1 wall I plugged receiving unit into back of Samsung 23" TV via HDMI
5. Plugged receiving unit into wall
6. Turned on both TV's and whaa-la

PRO's
* Not sure for all applications, but the DirecTV receiver was capable of sending component audio/video and HDMI aud/vid at the same time, so we could watch and adjust volume on both TV's at same time with ZERO LAG (both audio and video).
* SUPER EASY INSTALL WITH INFARED WORKING ON FIRST ATTEMPT
* HD picture quality is 1080P
* No extra running of cables for my application
* Small receiving unit makes for a clean looking install. Unit is smaller than most computer home routers.

CON's
* No HDMI out on the base unit (would make nice for lots of us who want to pass through the HDMI and don't have an AV receiver or want to change AV receiver input). Instead I have to use both HDMI and component out so.

UNKNOWN AND OTHER SUGGESTIONS
To complete the install I think I will probably need to buy an additional DireTV remote and program the 2nd TV's volume control to that.
Keep in mind your are going to be watching the SAME channel on the 2nd display if you are watching the primary display at the same time. That being said this isn't for most family's. My mom lives with just my dad and they enjoy watching the same thing.

Now my mom can cook family dinner and watch TV at the same time!!!

Keep in mind this was a gift from someone (me) who doesn't even own or watch TV.

HDMI Cable 28AWG Gold Plated Con. (15 feet) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)HDMI cable for this cheap, and it works! That's really all you need to know about this product. Shipping took a while, sadly, so don't order this if you need it tomorrow. Sadly, if you do need it tomorrow, you'll wind up paying about ten times this price for exactly the same product at a local store. No joke. If you can even find one this long at a local store (which is rare).

Don't listen to people who whine about signal quality, wire gauge size, lossy conductors, etc. This is *digital* - it either works or it don't. This one works just fine with my upconverting DVD player, my Xbox 360, and my HD cable box. It all looks perfect. While its technically not rated for in-wall runs, it works just fine inside a wall or hanging out in the back of your system.

I recommend you buy several of these before you need them. Have them lying around. You will eventually need them anyway, and wouldn't you rather pay half of the retail of ONE cable and get 5-6 cables instead? I promise that the first time a neighbor or friend or coworker asks and you just hand them this, it'll be well worth the few bucks.

Pyle-Home PHDMFCI Right Angled HDMI Male to Female Coupler Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Well made, sturdy, tight fit, good quality, BUT plugs won't fit due to my Samsung LED TV frame blocks the HDMI plug in the direction of the bend. Due to the screen thickness being the selling point, the plugs are designed on the side sort of behind the screen and the jacks need to be rotated before the plug will insert. I will keep these hoping to use them some where else. Check your direction of bend and position of jack for space.

ViewHD HDMI Three Port 3x1 Smart / Auto Switcher / Switch with Remote Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)OK, I will admit when I first saw this switch advertised for $27, I was really skeptical, in fact, I was pretty sure it was junk.

First a little background. I have a 5 yr/old Panasonic 60" LCD flat screen, which only has 1 HDMI input. It was OK at the time, but now my cable box is HD, I have a blu-ray dvd player, and a PS3 which can output a HD signal. A new tv is not in the budget so I started the search for a HDMI switch.

I purchased this 3 to 1 switch as a Amazon bundle with a blu-ray player. The bundle included the switch, a 2' hdmi cable, and a Toslink cable for $24 extra. I know, I know, $24 spells junk; but I added it anyway. I have not used either of the cables because I didn't need them. (Still not convinced of the quality of a 2' HDMI cable for $ .89 !!!!!)

The switch is Chinese made, comes in a generic white box, with a ir remote control, remote receiver and the switch. The switch has 3 inputs and one output. If you have a device that always outputs a signal, such as a cable box, plug it into port #2 or #3. A dvd or video game could be plugged into #1. The switch senses the active signal and uses that port. If the device connected to port 1 isn't active, it tries port 2 then 3.

I was concerned about losing signal quality by going through such a low price switch, but no worries. Picture is the same as a straight connection! No loss! Sound portion of my signal passes through a home theater system, so can't comment on that.

One note: when I opened the generic box, I was concerned that it contained no power supply. A look at the switch showed a +5 volt input connection. I thought that I had indeed been duped. No external power is required for this switch. Not sure why there is a connection for power, unless this box is used for another model, perhaps an HDMI amplifier.

Long story short - this seems to be a good, input sensing switch or manually selected switch (using remote) at an extremely good price. I will edit this later if I have any problems.

Mediabridge - Swiveling ( 90 Degrees From Center in Both Directions ) HDMI Female to HDMI Male Adapter Review

(More customer reviews)This flexible connector works well to connect an HDMI cable to the back of the TV when the TV's HDMI ports are coming straight out facing the wall. That or you will need to have a 90 degree angled HDMI cable. What I like about this connector is that it bends both ways so it will accommodate the orientation of the HDMI port on the TV.

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.)
