Insignia™ - 6' HDMI Cable - Matte Black

It's a cable. As long as you have the proper ports it should work fine. I was using it to plug an old laptop with a bad monitor up to a new monitor so I could download what was on my desktop. For me, it wasn't plug-and-play. Should include a little more instruction on when/how to fire up the equipment attached to it. Almost took it back because my Geek Squad advisor via chat suggested (after we went through all the basics of unplugging/plugging, ports, F5 keys, etc.) maybe I had a bad cable. Turns out I didn't but plug-and-play doesn't work as straightforward as I would have liked. Had to plug both devices in cold. Fired both up at the same time, basically. Wait for both to load. Got frustrated, quit, made an appointment with Geek Squad and basically did the same thing except started cold, both plugged in and gave everything time to fire up. Worked fine. So, I kept the cable. I'll try again because I'm not that tech-illiterate that this shouldn't work for me but a little guidance up front would have helped. Would like to see if I can watch some Youtube videos on the TV using this method. SHOULD work....

The computer that I purchased did not have dual monitor capability. I asked the Best Buy employee when I purchased my HP Pavilion Desktop 595 -p0074 if it had dual monitor capability and was told "yes". So that was wrong. I also asked if the computer had sound and was told "yes" Not true. So I returned to the store and obtained HDMI cable with splitter, but that just meant 2 monitors with the same view. Cannot EXTEND the view with HDMI cable. So I'm very disappointed to say the least.

This hdmi cable exceeds all expectations. Not only is it a cable but it has hdmi connectors on both ends. I would have been happy with one but both. Wow! I can’t wait to see whats next. Oh my... it actually connects between the blu ray and the tv. And whats this...when I play a blu ray on the blu ray player not only does the picture show up but also the sound. I don’t know if there is a better cable out there but this one has to be in the top. Well done insignia!!!

An HDMI cable is an HDMI cable, essentially. If you start going with long cables, you can run into issues with computers or devices that output weaker than usual signals, and marginal quality HDMI cables cause problems then. But any properly assembled 6' HDMI cable should work fine. This one does. It's like twice the price you'd pay online for something similar though. I only bought this for convenience. I needed it the same day and didn't want to wait or shop around.

I didn't realize how much enjoyment we were missing out on by NOT using an HDMI cable to connect Blu-ray and PlayStation to our big screen TV. Insignia product was on sale, so I picked up two, and ... OMG!!! A totally new experience for the whole family to enjoy! Product is very nice (we recommend!); certainly worth a few bucks to get one (or two!) if you're not currently using HDMI to maximize your 720 or 1080 screen resolution.

Reviewing an HDMI cable sounds weird, but hey, why not? It's a great cable. The best cable. No one has cables like this cable. This cable is maybe the best cable in the history of cables! Very bigly indeed. But for real, it's an HDMI cable and it does it's job. Don't fall into the trap of high-priced fancy crap. For the average person, this is all you need.

I am not the most knowledgeable person when it comes to technical things. However, this cable made everything so easy for me! It was a simple plug and play exercise, but even I could see the difference it made. The picture was much clearer and the download time was cut in half. The price...outstanding! My old HDMI cable was purchased back in 2005. Some say there is no difference in these cables...but, for me, I noticed an extreme improvement.

Nowadays most hdmi cords are capable of 4k picture quality and I would only recommend buying it if you test your device with your old cable, and the 4k features don't work. Cable is fine, but it is just not entirely necessary to replace a working cord with a slightly newer cord.
