Wow I didn't realize I had a message here. Any how I just bought a cable from Frys.com for $9.99 made by Inland and so far this is built very well. I tossed that other cable away. It was really bad quality.
did you ever resolve your hdmi issues with a new cable for your evo? I bought a cable at monoprice.com and it seems to be loose. I'm not sure if its the port or cable...
