I recently had the opportunity to test these HDMI cables with equipment
running at 1080p 60Hz with HDCP 148.5MHz The results were very positive.

Please note that success at 1080p depends on a lot of factors including quality
of TMDS transmitters, receivers, and anything you might have connected to the
cables like HDMI switches, repeaters, HDMI>DVD adapters, etc., therefore these
test results should be taken as a data point and not as a guarantee the cables
will be problem free @ 1080p with your specific equipment.

For example, during initial testing I had discovered through process of elimination
that one of the HDMI>DVI adapters I was using could not reliably pass 1080p. At
first I thought the cables were the issue, but after switching out the adapters, the
cables worked great.

Also please note, even though some of these cables are listed as only 1080i certified,
they did nevertheless pass 1080p without issues for the equipment combination I used.
See this post for what was tested at the factory:

The process of listing a cable as passing visual inspection involved looking at black
screen for 30 seconds to detect sparkles, then watching video for 1 minute to detect
additional artifacts.

Sharp LC45GX6U is a 1920x1080 LCD display which accepts 1080p and 1080p/hdcp when
devices are connected directly to the panel, bypassing the external video processor.

Hope you find this information useful.

If you want to go on blind faith then purchase this cable. The jacket has the same thing as 1.3 category 1 cables I have purchased from here. All that has been done is changing of the male connector to the cool colors. I just compare the average transfer rate between all of the cables I purchased. This includes over priced cables. They don't transfer at a higher rate than the category 1 cables I purchased 3 years ago. The cables I got from monoprice are actually branded. 10 times thicker and on average just better quality. No matter what HDMI cables you purchase, you will never run at max rate which is 10.2 gb per. sec. at best 1gb and that is a rarity even for blue ray with 7.1 surround. Do your research and don't buy based on picture or certain words to get your attention. The cables I received are not high speed category 2. I should have expected this. It seems to be a recurring problem. Not getting what your looking at. Oh, the cable did work, just not at 120hz. Motion jutter and picture degrades at high speeds. Not cat. 2. I had to purchase a few types of cables before I got what I was looking for. I am very particular. In the end it was worth it. thanks mp.
