Title: Too Good To Be True
Product review: I am quite new to LCD TVs and I thought HDMI cables were all the same just like Component cables etc. I bought 2 of these cables - one for my up-converting DVD player/recorder as well as my satellite box. The picture quality was markedly degraded using these cables vs. component. I love the HD picture using component cables but don't care for all of the wires so I thought I would get rid of all of the cables plus get a better picture too. Didn't happen. Could it be the TV? (both HDMI plugs), the DVD player and the satellite receiver? or maybe the cables? All 3 work great on component cables. My limited experience shows me that cheap cables don't work well and the expensive ones cost too much to make HDMI a viable option at this time. Just wondering but I read that HDMI cables have 19 pins. Will they work with just a few less and give a degraded picture? At the price I paid one wonders? Repackaged returned items maybe - bent pins or broken wires inside?
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
