The HDMI cables were sent very quick, and work great with Play Station 3 and HD DVD Player.
Bought this cable to connect my PS3 slim to my Samsung pn58b650 plasma TV. Screen had white dots (bit errors) on it when connected via this cable. I changed it out with a spare HDMI cable I had left over from my DirecTV HDR that was not even labeled as version 1.3 and the bit errors went away immediately. This only happened with the PS3 slim, as I used the same cable to connect my DVR to the Receiver and the Receiver to the TV. Cable HD programs do not exhibit any bit errors at 1080p, only the PS3 for some reason.
Since doing further research it appears that mono price dot com is the best place to buy affordable HDMI cables that do not suffer from bit errors and loss - which appear as spots, dots, speckles, stars or artifacts (ghosting) on your TV.
