I needed a short cable (6 ft) to connect my Hisense Sero Pro 7 Tablet to a larger display to watch movies. The cables which has an HDMI (male) connector to mini HDMI (male) connector I found in stores all cost more than $15. Some only came as a kit costing $25. I checked online and found several choices at low prices. I wish Walmart carried this in their store, but they have this and other HDMI cables for under $10 online and this one works great, great picture, great sound, it does what it is supposed to do. I was going to get the shorter version (3-ft) but for only a buck more, I decided to get the 6-ft cable, which gives me a bit more flexibility and still works great. Are they really 'Gold Plated' connectors, for that price, I don't know, but they work so I don't care.
