New technology is adavancing and HDMI and DVI video connections seem to be replacing the standard component cables.

When I as a consumer look into purchasing new technology, such as HDMI cables, the specifications and infromation on quality are the most important factors. I would like a company that discloses its technical qualities of thier cables. This way I have the information I need to make an educated purchase.

Price, and physical appearance can be variable allowing for different budgets and applications per customer.

I also feel more confident purchasing from a company that has a guarantee on their product and employs excellent customer service pre and post sale.

Of the list posted, there are three items that truly matter to me when selecting a cable of any sort...price point, actual performance, and customer service.

I don't want to shell out my last two pay checks for any cabling and thus I look for a product that performs without a massive price tag. Something lacking in the "snake oil" marketing that is evidently so apparent these days in home theater.

If the product performs, I don't care if it's pink in color with green polka dots, I'll use it. I would certainly prefer something in all black or silver, but obviously my point is that performance is everything to me. I want the best possible performance I can afford!

Customer service is vital to me, being that a huge portion of my job revolves around my ability to manipulate and control customers. I need to have a company that is well organized and efficient at dealing with any problems or questions I may have.

Thanks!

Inexpensive cables with quality components.

I look for a good balance of quality and value. I don't want a cheapo cheap sounding cable. I do also want them to look shnazzy to boot

[Jason Coleman]

Build quality and price (not necessarily in that order). I'm in need of an HDMI cable, so I'll check out their stuff (or just win one! ).

I think that I look for build quality at a reasonable price. No snake oil, no gimmicks, just a solidly built cable that measures well.

[Spiffyfast]

Value is what I look for good quality at an affordable price

[soundsfine]

Actual performance is king

Build quality is next

Helps a lot if it looks good too

HDMI/DVI cables should be built with quality components. More importantly however is the quality these components are put together. All this should be had for a reasonable price
