Mar 5, 2015 10:41 AM in response to Daniel Gold3by lllaass,What monitor? Does it have alternate (to HDMI inputs)?
Just why is not the image "good"?
HDMI can be troublesome irrespective of the cable.

Mar 5, 2015 9:00 PM in response to lllaassby Daniel Gold3,The image is way off center, so much so that the Finder menus at the top are barely accessible. This is the subject of another question I posted several days ago. I want to try a direct HDMI-HDMI cable to see whether the problem is cable-related or not. I haven't found any other instance of this problem here in the Communities or when I Google the symptoms, so I'm beginning to suspect that the computer is picky about HDMI cables and adapters. That's why I'd like to know what cable(s) others have had good results with.

My experiences is the your problem is not the cable unless you have a really poor cable.
