It works great and while it is undoubedtly not as good as good as your 100 grand investment I am entirely pleased with my less than 100 dollar investment. It works beautifully. It is what I now use to stream movies. I have four other computers for other puposes, but do really need to upgrade them all sooner than later.

I have used S-Video before and HDMI is an improvement upon that and that is why I went to HDMI. I find it to be entirely satisfactory.
I?m not measuring dicks. I love this topic. I?m talking 100 grand, maybe a tad more on oled tvs, a rack set up etc. i ran a mile of cat 6a cable, did all the terminations etc. all the lutron lights had to be done by a programmer as they dont let you touch it. I did all the electrical too. The cool part was the guy went over the top for me & integrated all my philips hue bulbs too. So with 1 button the art screen lifts up, the shades go down & the hue goes to whatever color of the device you?re using, for example blue for blueray. I made custom speaker tops out of brazillian cherry & finished them with 15 coats of hand rubbed gunstock oil. Now it?s onto the garage. Putting in a lift & running piping for all my air tools. Fun stuff. I like working with my hands and people saying wow who made this?
