Question: Does it matter which connector is plugged into source and which is plugged into TV/monitor?
Document: Due to using a specialized chip the HDMI cord is much thinner then normal HDMI Cords. With this you sacrifice the ability to plug in any end to any source and output. That means one end must be plugged only into the source (DVD player, Computer, Console) and the other must be connected to the output (TV/Monitor, etc). I have always bought 3 feet and 6 feet cords but this 16 foot cord is plenty for me. I bought this along PNY's Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter to use with my Macbook Pro.It works, that is what is truly important.
***Note that is cable is directional--meaning that you have to be careful to plug the correct end in your &#34;source&#34; and the other end in the TV. Each end is labelled, so just plug it in right and everything will be good. ***Let me know if this was helpful!
This quality cable has served me well ... its the second one we've used for doing an extended screen on our Macs. We use an HDMI to Firebolt adapter with this cable.However, I struggled with this on the first setup and foolishly I did it again:  you must plug the end labeled &#34;TV&#34; into the monitor and the end labeled &#34;HDMI&#34; into the base computer. My computer was recognizing the extra monitor was there but displaying nothing.
The only bad part is the output device plug (to the TV) is rather long. This means the plug hits the wall when the TV is tilted on my low profile HDTV wall mount. This puts stress on the plug and port. Easily remedied by a right angle connector but just be aware.This would work fine for light devices as the cable itself is incredibly light. No ferrite cores and high gauge (low diameter) wiring.
In fact, I bought this cable specifically because I wanted a thinner (smaller form factor) cable for travelling. I take this cable with me in my briefcase so that when I'm in hotels I can watch Netflix on the hotel's  TV--and I can comfortably lie on the bed and have access to my iPad's controls. In order to do this you'll need an iPad HDMI adapter like these (depending if you have a lightning connector or not):http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007IRBNRW/ref=oh_details_o07_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009WHV3BM/ref=oh_details_o07_s00_i02?ie=UTF8&psc;=1This cable + iPad + adapter = you can play/show all your iPad media on your flat screen TV.
The small cable size makes this a greet product. Unfortunately stopped working after 6 months - maybe the chip blew in the cable connector. I now just use a &#34;dumb&#34; hdmi cable, works just as well and no fear of a burnout.
purchased a few of these to use my media devices.These are one way so just make sure to have the longer jack plugged into your display and the shorter jack into whatever your media is coming from.I love how thin these are compared to the clunky thick ones, you wont have to worry about damaging the port with these.
These newfangled HDMI cables use a special technique to be very thin and light. As such, these are unidirectional....they only work in one direction. But why are all HDMI cables so fragile at the connector? I guess it's a flaw inherent to the design of HDMI. It's too bad. That said, these are nice cables and about half the price of comparable cables from big box stores.
It works, it is thin / flexible, and it's durable. I use to connect laptop to TV and haven't had any issues. Can't find any faults.
Very high quality and thin. I'm glad I got 2 for my mom's TV to hide the cords in her white room.
Answer: Yes it does! These thin cables have a chip inside, so they are directional. It's marked on the cable though. The side which is marked 'TV' should go on the monitor.
