I bought this one in the store with a new 50" plasma TV and it works just fine. I also got another 5ft 24AWG CL2 High Speed HDMI cable online from another source and it works fine too (for an old DVD/VCR w/HDMI output), but it was only $6.57 (it had very high ratings online). Maybe in five years they will all be cheap (except Monster of course); for now, I am left to wonder if I paid too much for this cable. As long as it works, I won't fret over it.
What's great about it: Clear picture and audio, easy to install
What's not so great: Price is high compared to online vendors
