Multiple HDMI split, very long runs
|
From a central wiring closet, I have 4 hdmi cables going through out the house. A 100ft run, 75ft run, 50ft run, and a 30ft run. I have 1 source fed through 2 splitters (1x2 way, 1x4 way). The source goes into the 2 way, 1 input to the 4 way splitter and 1 into the 100ft run. On the end of the 100ft run, I have a repeater (and added the optional power adapter). It took this exact setup for the 100ft run to get the feed, but at the end of the day it all worked. Every single bit of equipment (except for the power adapter for the repeater) was purchased through monoprice and all of it worked perfectly! I can have 4 tvs all share 1 source on at the same time. No sparkles, no drops, video and audio working perfectly! Thanks Monoprice for such excellent quality equipment at great prices.

PS3 problems
|
Pros: High quality as usual
Cons: I wish it would have worked for all my components, now I'm back to buying another one and hoping it works
Would not display my 1080p PS3 signal. I tested the PS3 slim with other shorter cables and works perfectly so if you going to use this with a PS3 then I would save the 100.00 bucks. The cable worked perfect for me connection my pc to receiver and then receiver to TV but the PS3 is the only device that will not work, the signal is degraded and keeps going blank on screen.

Hello Chris,
Thank you for your review. For testing purposes, have you tried outputting to a lower resolution on the PS3? As the PS3 may not be able to push a 1080p signal at 100ft, so if you can try 720 or even 480p to see if you can get a signal of some sort, you may require a booster instead. Please let me know, thank you!

Pros: Very long
Cons: Needed to buy booster with it
It's not really the cable's fault or anything, but at 100', I needed to buy a repeater in order for the signal to actually make it. Again, that's not the cable's fault though. Be CAREFUL this is a THICK, MONSTER of a cable!! You will need to buy some "cable savers" with it or it will DESTROY whatever you plug it into.

Maybe too long?
|
Pros: Long cable, built with good quality.
Cons: We used this where I work. I used shorter cables of similar manufacture (25 ft., 35 ft., 50 ft.) and they worked well, but this one did not. It took a little line amplifier (that uses the HDMI cables power) and it worked well.
We used this where I work in an installation with multiple TVs, a switcher(Four in and two out) and splitter (One input - four outputs) (both of the latter bought from Monoprice. I used shorter cables of similar manufacture (25 ft., 35 ft., 50 ft.) and they worked well, but this one did not. It took a little line amplifier (that uses the HDMI cables power) and it worked well. If your DVD player doesn't have a strong signal (and I have no idea how to check it) you might have a problem with this one.

HDMI Cable
|
Pros: Wide variety of cable sizes here at Monoprice.
Cons: None.
The cable I received from Monoprice was great. It was a 100' cable that my husband strung from the house to the shop. I would definitely buy more products from Monoprice.

Long HDMI running
|
Pros: Worked perfectly.
Cons: Quite heavy and connecting directly to components is a bit tricky, especially if you direct connect to a Blu-ray player on a movable rack.
I had fretted over upgrading the component signal to HDMI for my projector for several years. However, I needed at least 80' of cable and knew I might have signal problems. MonoPrice offered a 100' cable at a great price and it could be returned without a restocking fee. Knowing that professional installers cringe at the thought of long HDMI runs, I decided to try my luck and test it first. It work flawlessy between my OPPO player and high end Sony projecter during the test and I called in a pro to assist for the in-wall installation. Things went smoothly, but the weight of the cable tended to pull the connector from the socket when I moved my rack. I wanted direct connections since fewer connections meant fewer chances for problems. Strapping everything tightly near the connectors has thus far solved the problem. The pro said I am quite lucky to have this working well since they have used cables costing $300 without success. The HDMI signal is noticeably superior with my gear.

Great deal for a great cable
|
Bought this 100ft HDMI cable for less than $100. Couldn't even find one for 3 times the price at the big stores. They also said 100 feet is too long to carry a HD signal.
They were wrong as this worked from the minute it was plugged in even thru a 4x4 HDMI multiplexer (also a great buy). Thanks Monoprice for saving me $500 at least since one of the workers installing the system drilled a large screw through the first one I had bought.

Very happy
|
Was banking on this really long HDMI cable for a church project. But had heard mixed stories about HDMI at this length. This cable performs perfectly using an HDMI matrix that supports cable lengths up to ~100'.
Cable is quite thick which brings pros and cons. Pros: it works at 100'. Cons: difficult to work with as it does not want to twist nor bend. And in my case it eats up a big portion of the available conduit space.
But all in all I'd give it an A+.

Didn't carry 1080p signal
|
When hooked up directly from my PS3 to the TV, the highest resolution this would carry was 480p. Although I got a picture at 720p and 1080i, it had severe interference. 1080p didn't work at all. When hooked up from my Onkyo 605 to the TV, it carried up to 1080i fine, but still no 1080p. I ordered the HDMI extender (PID 2849) hoping it would solve the problem, but I actually got more sparkles and interference using it that I did without (and yes, I hooked it up at the TV end of the run, as suggested).
I'm going to try the 75 foot cable to see if it's any better...

Compatible With DirecTV HD DVR & Receivers
|
Purchased cable to run from HR21 DirecTV Receiver to television on the other side of the house (didnt want to pay for the extra cost of another HD receiver & the added monthly receiver fee from DirecTV).
Picture & sound come through flawlessly & with DirecTVs built in RF-remote control feature, all I had to do was pick up an extra RF remote off of eBay for less than $10 to control the receiver on the other side of my house.
Also before installing decided to test on my DirecTV HR20 HD DVR to see if this long-run cable would work on older generation boxes & it worked great!
No noticeable picture or sound degradation on either boxes to both my Panasonic TH-42PZ80U 1080p Plasma or Hannspree XV 32 LCD.
One note though...this cable is THICK. Went to Home Depot & had to purchase 1/2 inch plastic cable clamps (Gardner Bender Part #PPC-1550) to secure cables to inside of walls. Decided on these because they had very little chance of damaging this HDMI cable since the nail/screw used to secure these clamps were off to the side, rather than directly requiring hammering directly above the cable to mount. Also, because of the thickness of this cable, I couldnt use Wiremolds single cable run solution & had to move up to the 3 cable run cable management series, even though this was a single cable.
Also, to minimize stress on DirecTV Receivers HDMI port, used Monoprices p/n 2891 -
HDMI Cable male to female 28AWG Port Saver - 8 inches (Gold Plated Connectors). Again, picture still came through perfectly.
I originally purchased the Monoprices p/n 2672 - 100FT 5-RCA Component Video/Audio 20AWG Coax Cable (RG-59/U), but after testing on my DirecTV HR20 DVR, I discovered that the cable carrying the Red signal was defective & the connectors werent all that secure. Although they were half the price of the HDMI cable, after seeing this Component cable in person, decided to pay double the price for the HDMI cable for a pure digital signal, but more important, to reduce the number of cables from 5 (Component x3 Audio x2) to the simplicity of a single HDMI cable for vidio & audio.
by the_duck
UPDATE: Cables still work great, but signal was dropping from time to time so I picked up a "HDMI Active Equalizer Extender Repeater - Extend Upto 100FT" (Product ID 2849) for $13. This did the job, although I suspect the issue was with my DirecTV Receiver than the cable itself.
WARNING ABOUT FRAGILE HDMI CONNECTIONS!!!
After noticing that the connections would bend if any pressure was put on them and learning that fixing them would be next to impossible, I immediately purchased 2 Female to Male extensions (3ft 24AWG CL2 High Speed Male to Female HDMI Extension Cable - Black, Product ID 3341), cut out 4 small pieces of wood (2 for each end) then used electrical tape to literally build a brace to protect the 100ft cable's HDMI connections. Basically it looks like I have a splint holding these together.
Now there is no way that the 100ft HDMI cable's ends will bend and break. The $5 extension cables now plug into the TV on one end and the Receiver on the other and if either of these ends break (which is possible given how thick these guys are), no big deal because I can buy another one for relatively cheap.
Best way of protecting $100 cable that I have run inside my walls.

Worked fine with Directv!
|
Used this cable with no transmission issues at all from a Directv HR21 HD-DVR 20 feet over HDMI to a Monoprice 1x8 distribution amplifier then 100 feet over this cable to a Fujitsu Plasma Display. Yes, you should always test on the floor before you install, but this cable did work perfectly for me.
