What has got to be the best joke in technological existence

you can hear the sarcasim just drriipppping from the customer reviews!

the greatest thing about this is that fact that HDMI is just a very large stream of 1's and 0's not analog where the wave form can be distorted by interference. it either works or it doesn't. a 10$ cable will give you the EXACT same quality as a 50$ or 200$ cable if it's HDMI. the fools who buy this (if it even really exsists) just paied a 1650% markup on a nearly 10 year old technology

Reminds me of those wannabe audiophiles that get angry when they can't hear frequencies they can't hear

Yeah, you gotta love that kind of stupidity.

"Hey, I have a HD 1080p TV!"
"Wow, that's really something. I remember that I had a 1024x768 monitor 8 years ago. Technology has really improved. Wow."

I also have a 1920x1080 monitor! >_>


What you are saying is not true though. The digital signal is affected by outside interference just as the analog alternatives are. Digital signals are just way more robust.
It's not true that they either work or don't. Most often a protocol which works even with some degree of error (say up to 10 bad bits per packet) is used when transferring data.
There is no doubt that that cable is aimed at abusing audiophiles who are used to analog cables where all the extra fancy signal noise reduction in the cable matters.
