HDMI Benefits
HDMI is similar to DVI in some respects, but the HDMI interface uses a smaller connector than DVI, which makes the cables easier to route through cable management systems, conduits, or through holes in building materials. The specification handles high-bandwidth, uncompressed video, as well as multi-channel digital audio, all with one cable. HDMI encoding and decoding hardware is more robust than the hardware that which is used for DVI, so the signal can stand up to longer runs, wall plates, adapters, and so on, better than DVI. All HDMI-enabled equipment is backward compatible with DVI by using simple passive adapters or adapter cables.
Review From The Real World
When comparing digital cables, it can be very difficult to make an intelligent buying decision. Some cables that look very good actually work very badly. Some cables look less impressive, but work flawlessly. There is some truth to the old idea that you get what you pay for. For example, if you see a 2 meter HDMI cable for under $20.00, you would have to expect some compromises in materials, workmanship, and ultimately, in performance. At the same time, higher price does not necessarily equate to higher performance.
For example, consider the 2 meter Monster M1000DAV HDMI cable, model M1000HDMI-2M - it works well, but it also sells for $250.00. By comparison, the 2 meter Vampire Wire #HDIM-2M HDMI cable lists for $73.60 and it also works very well! That price point is even more surprising if you consider the Vampire Wire heritage - they have a well-respected product line, including some of the most technically advanced (and expensive) cables in the industry.
You may have read references to exotic-sounding materials, like "Nitrogen gas injected dielectric" and "Silver-plated pure copper". You may also notice that some manufacturers make use of gold plating for connector shells. As it turns out, Vampire Wire cables also use a gas-injected dielectric material. While it is true that silver is a slightly better conductor than copper at DC, the difference becomes insignificant in this application. Gold is actually somewhat less conductive than copper, so solid gold conductors are not desirable, but gold plating does have at least one desirable characteristic as it relates to cable engineering - it is highly resistant to oxidation. That is why Vampire Wire uses gold-plating at all connector contact points.
Vampire Wire is offering a very high level of performance and dependability in a low to mid-priced cable. You get the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your cables came from a respected company...you can be confident that they are not limiting the performance of your system. As you are enjoying your digitally-perfect picture, you can also take comfort in the knowledge that you have avoided spending too much. A wealthy man once said that there is no status in having paid too much.
We have sold many thousands of cables, so we have a lot of experience with how cables work in the real world. We have found Vampire Wire cables to be excellent performers. In fact, as of this writing, we have never had a Vampire Wire cable returned because of a performance problem. We think that speaks very well for the company, and is something that cannot be said of every cable that we have offered over the years. Only a few companies have such a distinction.
Vampire Wire backs this cable with a Lifetime Limited Warranty.
