Nice kit with probably more than you need December 24, 2007
This kit is a must if you are adding an HDTV. I only used one of the HDMI cables, but the other will be handy if I add an HD DVR later. All of the cables are top quality.
No Brainer! HDTV Made Easy! November 26, 2007

I purchased this cable kit along with my Samsung 50" Plasma. The kit was very straight forward and I had everything I needed to get up and running. I was able to hook up my cable box and DVD player with each using one of the HDMI cables in the kit. I then hooked up my DVR with the component and audio cables. Just like that, I was done. I'm not too sure about the screen cleaner, but I guess it works fine. It got the finger prints from the installation off of my plasma. I guess time will tell how valuable it really is...
I would also like to mention that these cables seem to be very good quality. I have another HDMI cable from before that is very cheap looking/feeling compared to the ones in this kit. It is like hard plastic or something. These ones have a fabric like braided material on the outside. They almost look like the really high-end cables I saw at the local hi-fi store for hundreds of dollars. This kit is definitely a no brainer!
HDMI made easy November 19, 2007

Hallelujah! Finally, someone with quality cables figured out how to make
HDMI installation easy. I recently installed my second plasma TV, in our
upstairs bonus room. The first had gone up about a year ago. With the first one, I thought I had everything I needed when I brought the TV home. OHHHH NOOOOOO! Three trips to Radio Shack and Best Buy later, (and another couple hundred bucks!) I finally had all the different cables and pieces I needed to get the sound, picture and all pieces hooked up and working together.
This time, I saw this kit on Amazon before we purchased the TV. We ordered it. The experience couldnt have been much different. BEFORE we had the TV, I had all the pieces I needed on hand to put it together. Two HDMI cables! Yes! And the CV, and the audio. They even throw in a little bottle of screen cleaner. So when the TV arrived, we were able to pop in the new Ratatouille DVD right off the bat and the kids (and I) were happy.
Excellent value for your cable dollar November 19, 2007

This kit is a great idea, and is the most convenient way I've seen to get superb quality HDMI cabling for your home entertainment needs.
Convenience, however, is just part of the picture with these cables. These are serious cables. The sound quality is actually noticeably better than what I've gotten out of other cables, so much so that I'm planning to re-wire our downstairs set. I've got some knowledge of what makes a good cable, and my understanding is that there are three things that make a big difference, and these cables, in spite of a reasonable price point, have three things that you usually have to pay a lot more for:
1. All copper wire - and it's the high quality, solid center kind, so that makes the biggest difference in reducing sound distortion. Forget the "50% more copper" or "more copper than other cables" - you want 100% copper with a solid core.
2. Cable construction - these guys use the kind of organized cable structuring that much more expensive cable manufacturers use. Instead of just putting the wires in and twisting them, there is organized geometry in these cables that minimizes the magnetic spillover (and therefore, distortion) from one wire to another.
3. Not soldered connectors - solder can ruin an otherwise perfectly good cable, creating a "leap" for the signal that adds significant distortion. You do NOT want an HDMI cable with solder, even silver solder. It's not as good as these, no matter how much you're being overcharged for it.
These are the kinds of cable construction considerations that I've seen in some of the really high end stuff - some of which can get into thousands of bucks for cable. Not willing to go there, but this kit is a terrific deal for the money when it comes to quality, and you just can't beat the convenience. On the flip side, some of the biggest cable manufacturers do a great "sell" job, but don't meet the basic criteria outlined above for really superior quality. You'll see all kinds of claims, but read carefully. When they compare the quality of their image to conventional TV, that's a big watch-out. They should be comparing to other cable makers within the HDMI world. Of course it's better than conventional TV. It'd better be.
