As an employee of the industry (at sales/retail/service level) i have seen cables go for up to £50-100.
Although these higher prices generally assure quality, two things are required in the build quality of HDMI's: Gold plating and robust cable covering. When these two things are covered the quality is mainly producer based.
I bought this cable, to begin with, for a Panasonic DVD recorder/VHS combi. The upscale quality was good at 576p. I have more recently purchased a Playstation 3, and decided to use this HDMI with it. I am happy to report that it worked, and has since, at 1080p, with a clear picture quality.
As with all products there will be faulty items, as shown by previous reviews. On the bright ... Read More:

I bought a powermonkey for a transatlantic flight and didn't need to use it in the end, but I did use the universal mains adaptor in the US to charge, not the monkey itself, but my ipod, two brands of mobile phone, and, having bought and additional connector tip, my Nintendo DS, so I didn't have to carry any extra mains adaptors! I can't comment on the efficacy of the monkey itself, but I consider it worth getting for the mains adaptor alone.

£45 is expensive for this item as it only worked properly for about 6 months. Similar problem to other reviewers. It doesn't pick up the signal anymore or is very temperamental at best.

Christmas is coming so save your cash! Why purchase something you can get for a fiver.
Go to ipodgifts.net and sign up. Complete ONE offer- I would recommend Gala Bingo (you know, the one Sharon Osborne advertises for on tv),as this is cheap and fun (and you might win some money in the process!). If you really don't want to spend, there is a free Lovefilm trial.
All companies are well known so there is no risk involved- give it a go! I got my Ipod and many other things this way, so don't miss out.
I was a sceptic once but now I am SO glad I gave it a chance. BBC approved this system on their Newsnight programme a while back.
After speaking to friends who got "an absolute bargain HDMI cable for £15", I was a bit dubious about this three quid one.
But I needn't have been. It works brilliantly and it doesn't feel cheap. It is gold plated and feels sturdy. This is the shorter 1 metre cable as I didn't want to add to the mass of wires behind my telly.
I am very impressed with the improved image I now get, and had a geek-out when I saw that by plugging in an HDMI cable I had access to locked menus on my TV! W00T!

I purchased this just over 12 months ago & was initially pleased with it. Good sound quality & a very neat docking station. For the last few months, the on/off button has been temperamental to say the least. It might work one day but not the next. Extremely frustrating & no longer under guarantee! So I will be purchasing a different brand in the near future.

Well I wasn't sure when I read some of the reviews saying it was very cheap looking, and yes I have to admit its not leather, it hasn't any diamonds on or alike but this is really a very good case. Its not cheap looking at all and gives good protection to the DVD with a headphone splitter built in and it has several mounting options in the car, personally I would say a bargain 5 out of 5

Yes, battery life... mine went dead after less than a year of usage which is disappointing. The logic of the navigation on the Zen Stone is frustrating; meant to be intuitive it is in fact a cluttered and often unresponsive effort which the designer could have avoided. It comes with no clip - I understand this is part of the 'pebble' design but from a practical point of view (i.e. when in the gym or on the move),and for something so small, a clip would have been highly useful. Following the premature `death' of the Zen Stone I am now opting for a Sandisk Sansa Clip which hopefully will prove a more long lasting choice.

Great quality and excellent range - can wear them while outside tinkering in the garage with no break-up or distortion. Very comfortable to wear.
One or two reviews have complained of 'hiss' during pauses. You can virtually irradicate this by turning volume on headset down, and turning up volume on input device.
