5 Stars Does what its suppose to do
Hey, this product works what more can you ask of a cable. If your sales guy insinuates that you have to spend $80 to get a good quality 10-15 foot cable, tell him that he is misleading you. Ask him what else is he misleading you about.
Actually, if you are spending the amount of money to buy a product that requires a DVI or HDMI cable, shouldn’t the cable should be included.
5 Stars Only way to go!
I was using a composite connection from my cable box to my LCD 47″ LG TV and that was okay but I didn’t like all the extra wires. Got this wire and even though the visual quality is about the same, the audio quality is better and the response time when I change channels and adjust the volume is much faster. So I’m sure the visual quality is actually better but I haven’t used Blue Ray yet, etc. Don’t let “Worst Buy” rob you by buying an expensive wire from them!
5 Stars why pay more
just a couple of bucks, dumb buy and stupid city wanted almost $50 for similar item. Now I can use my HDTV as a second monitor
4 Stars not sure yet really
great picture quality. Good enough to read website text. Occasionally i have the picture flicker away and have checked connections and found no problem. Im unsure if its graphics card related, or a defect in this product. Either way its super cheap anyway so ill get a new one if it persists. I can deal with it for now.
5 Stars A dirty little secret.
I’ve worked in retail for too many years. To not name names I have worked for a major electronics store that has now gone the way of the dinosaur, and also their main (still surviving) competitor.
In every place the fact is the same. Almost no money is made on the electronic device itself, be it the PC, TV, iPod, etc. All of the money gained is from the accessories, namely the cables (not to mention their “extended warranties”).
Of coarse you want the cables when you buy your new device, they know this so they sell them at the highest price they can.
This cable, as well as the other “bargain” cables I’ve purchased online have all worked just as well as those other “high end/name brand” cables.
And just to touch on some of the other reviews. If it isn’t working right you’re either doing it wrong or you happened to get the less than 1 percent defect. So either research your issue or ask for a replacement.
A top notch 5 out of 5.

1 Star Avoid this seller!
Got the product fast, was happy with it. After I figured it out it went up really fast, 30-45 minutes. It has held the TV and not fallen.
DO NOT BUY: It was defective which I realized when it got up on the wall. The seller took 5 days to reply to my email and when they did they just sent me a 1-800 # to call. Then when I insisted they fix it, they just sent me an email with an RMA # and said send it back at my expense. No “we are sorry” “how can we help”. VERY RUDE! None responsive to any emails. They still have not written me back in 8 or 9 days now. I have this product up on my wall but can barely pull it out from the wall. It takes a lot of effort because it’s too tight and not fluid.
Sorry I was really hoping it would be a good one and it probably is, I would just avoid this seller because if by chance you get a bad one, you’re stuck with another $30 shipping bill to send it back and hope they send you a good one.
This is what I would go with instead!
CHEETAH MOUNTS PLASMA LCD TV ARTICULATING DUAL ARM WALL MOUNT FOR 32-63″ DISPLAYS UP TO 180LBS BLACK
5 Stars Great Wall Mount
This wall mount is of great quality and we got it right away. We read a couple of the reviews before we purchased it and they were very helpful in preparing us for a 5 to 10 degree play in the mount, so we were able to take care of that with a small adjustment while installing. Looks great and we love it.
E & D.
4 Stars Greeat product for my LCD, but for Plasma?
This works great for my LCD TV (46″ Samsung @50 lbs), however, I don’t know if I would trust it with a heavier Plasma TV. There are only 4 lag screws that connect to wood studs, which wasn’t enough for me. The wall it is mounted to has a closet behind, so I actually used 3 extra bolts and bolted it through the wall to angle iron on in the closet. Now, if the TV falls off, either the wall fell down or the product (swing arm) failed. Besides the connection to the wall, I don’t know if the swing arm could support 150 lbs 20″ from the wall.
4 Stars Fairly sturdy articulating mount
I bought this mount for a 50-inch plasma screen (80-100 lbs). It seems fairly sturdy, but I am not sure if I would trust it with the articulating arm fully extended due to the excess torque pulling at the wall bolts. The instructions that came with the unit were rather lame and seemed to be missing some relevant content. I think that using a stud finder is essential to install this or any other mount that is going to be used to support a heavy TV.
The mount comes with several assorted bolts for attaching the mounting arms to the back of the TV, but some were too long to use and some were almost too short to ensure enough thread engagement after tightening things. If someone needs to use the 8mm bolts, they might want to take a trip to the hardware store and pick up some mid-length ones.
The wall bracket comes with its own level indicator. However, I noticed some play in the articulating arm. Therefore, the part attached to the wall may be perfectly level, and the TV may hang at an angle due to the arm being off 5-10 degrees after bearing the load of a heavy TV. Before installing, I would recommend pulling on the articulating arm while retracted and try to rotate it to see how much play there is, and then compensate for any angle adjustment when drilling the stud bolt holes. The wall bracket may not be quite level, but the TV plate should be level (you can check by resting a separate level on this part). If the TV is mounted and seems to be listing to one side, there are four Allen head bolt in the middle of the TV mounting plate that may be able to be loosened to rotate things, but the TV will have to be removed from the mount to make the adjustment.
3 Stars TV wall mount
This mount works wll for my 52″ TV. Shop around. You can find a better price for a similar mount. I paid $145. You can get one for $90.

5 Stars Sookie Rocks!
I love the telepathic, courageous, beautiful, sexy Sookie who is humble and modest. She falls for the strong silent type, a Vampire. She isn’t burdened by his mind which is a GREAT relief for her making her like him even more. There are so many great twists to the plot. This novel has everything, action, romance, suspense and much much more. So very entertaining. I could not put it down!! I can’t wait for Charlaine to come out with another one. I’ve read all of them so far and have not been disappointed.
5 Stars Loved it!
I watch Tru Blood and love it! I read this book in 2.5 days and loved it more then then the show!
1 Star Really??
Let me start by saying that I am a huge fan of vampire fiction and urban fantasy. I am not a genre jumping whiner who didn’t know what to expect from this book and was thus put off or disappointed with what I got. I have read all of the Anita Blake, Merry Gentry, and Black Dagger Brotherhood novels. As well as countless others that I can’t seem to name.
And I have heard so many good things about the Sookie Stackhouse books that when I ran out of stuff to read, I went ahead and bought the entire boxed set. When UPS showed, I tore into the box and started reading right away.
What a freaking let down.
The first book in the series read like it was written by a twelve year old for other twelve year olds. The story line was boring, the characters were totally one-dimensional, and frankly, when you got to the end you were relieved that it was over.
Vampire Bill is a pansy. What self-respecting vampire is going to let himself get drained by a couple of pieces of trailer trash in a bar parking lot?? And if one of your family members was brutally murdered, would you immediately boink in their bed??
Those are just two of the implausible things that happen in the 200 or so wasted pages that comprise this book.
As tempted as I am start a fire and fuel it with this boxed set, I am compelling myself to continue reading. Only because I have read so many reader reviews that assure me that things get better from book two forward.
I certainly hope so. Because if they get any worse, the universe is going to implode. Seriously, it was that bad.
5 Stars Great start to a great series…
I’ve been looking for a new series of books to start reading and this kept getting recommended to me by Amazon. I thought… why not? I’m soooo glad that I bought this book. It’s a great look into what things might be like if vampires “lived” amoung us. I love Sookie and her innocense. I love sexy (in my mind!) Bill and his want to be able to live with the humans. I love how this mystery unfolded. I just loved the whole thing. As a matter of fact I just went out today and bought the next book because I didn’t want to wait to have it shipped to me! ANYONE looking for a great read… it’s right her in Dead Until Dark!
1 Star Do I have to give it even one star?- This book bites…
sigh- shudder-
I have three things to say…
Ok…first off, if you’re one of the many people out there who’s looking for vampire fiction because you or someone you know, read and loved the Twilight series. Keep looking! DO NOT read these books just because they’re supposed to be about vampires and for some bizarre reason have been placed next to them on the shelf.
Secondly:
If you’re looking for good vampire fiction for any reason…keep looking.
-From edgy urban vampire to cult classic to good old fashioned Dracula, this book has nothing new and many many badly rewritten old ideas.
If you’re looking for a murder mystery…keep looking.
-There is no mystery. If you can’t figure this out, stick to tic-tac-toe.
If you’re looking for something a little “exciting” to read…keep looking.
-Again from adult excitement to thriller to young adult, I’ve had more excitement in traffic jams.
Most of all, if you’re looking for something well written and exciting with well-rounded intrigueing characters, interesting discriptions and realistic dialogue…KEEP LOOKING!
This book was so badly written that the minute I finished it, I had to write this review to warn the world. I’m not even saying this is just bad vampire fiction or a bad mystery- it’s just bad. The writing is horrible. The plot is trite. I can’t even describe the characters as cardboard cut-outs – they’re more like inflatable dolls. And the dialogue? Ugh.
Third Point:
Sex Warning- this is being marketed for young adults and its raunchy.
If you’re buying for someone young, you should be aware it’s got a lot of really badly written sexual content.
If you’re buying this book for the sex scenes, don’t settle for this. You can find better stories in a seventh grade locker room where everyones talking about what they haven’t ever done.
