Video-Cable Reviews

Got this mickey mouse webcam for only several bucks when it came with a $40 rebate several months ago. Very satisfied. Clear, sharp images. A+!

This is a great webcam. I bought it with Christmas money at Circuit City, and it came with a rebate. I've had it since the day after Christmas - and not only is it cute, but it's got great quality. The internet video "conferencing" is clear - though not perfect, it's about the best you can get for under a hundred - which is still great. Everyone I webcam chat with online commends on how great my cam is, and the still-pictures it takes are surprisingly good. It also takes several seconds of video (which I've mostly used on my sleeping cat), which is nice. It doesn't disattach from the computer, so you're limited to as far as the cord can reach. I have frontal USB ports on my computer, and the cord is long enough that it reaches across a little more than half of my bedroom. I have it on the monitor, and the stand is very cute as well. To adjust it, there's a long slot at the bottom of the cam and a peg on the stand - so you can slide it up and down or back and forth as you please. I've been waiting to get a cam for a long time, as my boyfriend lives long-distance - and I'm totally satisfied with this one. My friends have webcams that were the same price or more, but terribly less quality. Also, it comes with the cutest and most creative photo software I've seen. It's not for serious photo editing, but rather fun editing (you can add animated borders, scenes, characters, etc). My friend and I sat here for hours when I first got it playing with the program. Overall a great cam - I recommend it to anyone who wants one and isn't bothered by Mickey Mouse on their monitor.

I have to freely admit that the somewhat recent advent of component video connections left me somewhat ambiguous as to what they were specifically designed for. Having recently purchased two different Sony receivers and a television with these connections and already owning two different Sony DVD players with these connections prompted some research. This research revealed that component video connections; through a 75 ohm interconnect on a HDTV or DVD player delivers higher signal quality, the best color saturation, black level and detail possible providing a sharp, clear picture.

With this research in hand it was time to make a decision as far as pricing went. It doesn't take long to figure out that one can easily spend a rather large amount of money depending on the name of the manufacturer of these component video cables.

Based on that research and pricing I opted for Acoustic Research's AP090 component video cables and have been highly pleased by this decision both in the quality of picture delivered to my system and the priced paid for these particular cables.

If you're in need of new component video cables, I highly recommend you explore Acoustic Research's AP090 as you will be hard pressed to find higher quality component video cables in this particular price range, in short, you don't have to spend a ton of money to get the quality of picture that you desire! {ssintrepid}

TigerDirect's shipping is a little exorbitant, but I can't otherwise complain about a fine product. I bought it hoping to reverse it to put both my CD changer and my Playstation 2 into the same input on my receiver, and it works just fine. I can't have both on at once, but wasn't planning to anyway. I'm sure it works fine splitting one input into two, but that's just not what I was looking for. This product is, however, and I'd happily pass it on to anybody looking for the same solution.

With this cable, I am able to connect any device with another far away, so you do not have to disconnect it from here and connect to there, get it? It really helps with the distance between any device.

My Canon Multipass MP360 just arrived. I am so excited about this new printer. It is beautiful. And well worth the investment. I was looking for a fast printer and reasonable priced ink cartridge. I am well Please.....
Thank you, Connie in Texas

Having been a trade show manager for a large electronics company, I saw that the technicians always wrapped their cables in a circle and tied them with velcro straps like above. Get some.

I have tried quite a few cables over the past months with my HD setup, and this is by far the best cable I have used. The quality of the picture is amazing with HDMI, but you need a cable of this quality to make it worth it!!

the support staff assisted me with my predicament and i was able to receive the cable quickly through amazon.com

great product

I can not believe how good my vcr and old laser disc look now that they are hooked to my monitor with component video. Color is amazing and dot crawl just about completely eliminated. Plus as an added bonus I no longer need to keep flipping inputs on my tv, now it stays on component video all the time.

I loved how this cable has enhanced the performance of my stereo system. I could immediatly tell a difference in the quality of my music. Any stereo without great cables isn't meeting up to its potional, so what is a why extra dollars when you get a lot more out of your stereo
