Ok, please let me clarify some points that seem to confuse many people...
First, when buying power cords and HDMI cords for cell phones, you have to be sure whether you're buying a 'Micro' connection cord, or a 'Mini' connection cord... And just to clarify for anyone who may have doubts, both the HTC Evo and the Moto Droid X have MICRO ports: Micro USB power and Micro HDMI.
As the title of this cord says, this is a MICRO (Type D) HDMI to Regular HDMI cable... This will work with both the EVO and the DROID X.
The cable is very adequate in length, and seems to be of good quality and construction. The connectors fit snugly and securely. I tested it with my 42" Panasonic Plasma, and it worked flawlessly. It passes the signal from the phone to the television. The quality of the picture will vary depending on several other variables, but the cable itself does its job perfectly.
As soon as I plugged it in, my EVO notified me that it had made an HDMI connection, and said I could play videos or slideshows. It takes a moment for the phone to recognize the connection, so don't freak out if you don't see it connected immediately. It shouldn't take too long though. Once the phone shows connected, please make sure your television is set to the appropriate HDMI signal, if it has more than one. If your TV has more than one HDMI connection, and you don't change to the connection that has the signal from your phone, then you won't see anything at all. I don't know if that is the problem one reviewer was having, but it's a common problem. Don't forget that.
The HTC Evo will allow you to display photos and videos only through the 'Gallery' app. (This may change later) You can play videos that you recorded on your phone, but only if you recorded them in 720 resolution. If you have your phone set to record at a lesser resolution, then you may not be able to play them via HDMI on your TV. So, if you can't see a video you're trying to play, then you might try recording a video on your phone in 720 resolution, then playing that. I don't know if that is the problem one of the other reviewers was having, but it is a common problem. Don't forget that. (And yes, you can display videos that you transfered onto your phone as well)
Also, you can only display photos from your phone as a slideshow. You can't display them singly. But, you can control the slideshow from the phone, and go forward, backward, pause, etc... Same with the videos.
The quality is not always great, depending on your video source, so don't expect the same sort of HD you would get with your cable television or Blu-Ray. But, that is NOT a problem with the cable. It's a mixture of the video source and your TV. Remember that HDMI from phones is still newer technology, and you shouldn't expect miracles. But, watching back photos and videos that you made on your phone should be more than adequate.
I have not tried watching videos from YouTube through the HDMI out yet, but I've read that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. It might work if they are HD videos recorded at 720 or more. But, just in case don't expect it.
So, having said that... The cable is just fine. Save yourself some money, and get this one for a few bucks. You don't need to pay 29.95 from Sprint or Verizon, and you don't need to pay a lot for any special gold plated cable...
HDMI is a digital signal... It does not suffer from gradation like analog signals do. There's either a singal or there's not. Therfore, as long as a cable is meets the HDMI standards, there is NO difference in HDMI cables. So, any HDMI compliant cable (Type D Micro) will work the same, and there is no difference between a five dollar cable and a fifty dollar cable, as long as they are both fully HDMI compliant, and well constructed. Save your money!
In short, if you simply want an easy way to show your family/friends photos and videos you took on your phone, then this is perfect.

There is no better quality HDMI cable that you will find for this price!! At 6' long, the quality is that of any Monster brand or like - cable. Works PERFECT! I'm sure this will work for the HTC EVO phone on the Sprint network, the one that has the HDMI output as well. Buy this cable if you have the DROID X or the HTC EVO - you will not be disappointed!!!
Advertised as a Micro HDMI to HDMI for Droid X. Although it did fit into my Droid X and was able to connect to my HDMI input on my Vizio, it didn't project the pics or video in my Gallery. I tried on two TVs, no luck. Bought another cable from another vendor and it worked perfectly.
This cable did exactly what it's manufacturers said. It arrived quickly and I plugged my LED TV to my EVO and videos and pictures from my phone can be scene and heard on my TV.... plain and simple, it works perfectly with my htc Evo.
This product will save you money, this HDMI cable will work with DroidX, and cost less than $10 even with shipping! If you buy it anywhere else it will cost about $40. This is a micro HDMI compatible with DroidX
I couldn't be more satisfied with my purchase. The product was delivered earlier than anticipated; and, I haven't had any problems with it to date. I was a little skeptical about making this purchase because of the fact that it was so inexpensive. However, it pleases me to inform you that sometime, you get much more than what you pay for. It works right out of the box, no instructions necessary. I'm sure that I will be doing business with bargaincell again in the very near future. - Htc Evo - Droid X - Htc Evo 4g - Hdmi'
