Premium High Speed HDMI Cable With Ethernet 5 PACK (1M) - Supports 3D 4K & Audio Return Channel + 2 cable ties - 1 Meter- 5 Pack

I see a lot of people here have had problems with this cable, with a lot of them saying that it doesn't work.Well, it does. Certainly. However, the reason why it wont work for some people is that this cable is DIRECTIONAL. Most hdmi cables are able to be used whichever way around. I know about this directional issue because my electrician put mine in the wall of a new build in 2014, behind all the plaster board, the wrong way around! It didn't work following a test. I realized that due to having a signal booster in-line, it was probably directional (otherwise how would the signal booster know which signal to boost, the one on the left, or right!).I took off the plasterboard, turned it around, replaced all the plasterboard!!!!! and repainted. It worked first time. ARC worked as well as CEC. I have a full HD tv and it was perfect. No noise at all.BUT, I then shifted the TV a bit and because the same electrician hadn't left much cable sticking out of the wall, the connector snapped - ping. They aren't terribly strong. So that was it. No hdmi. I wasn't going to replace the lead because it meant waaaaay too much effort, so I left it dangling out of the wall and used a different cable with the PS3 and amp nearby.UNTIL this weekend (Feb 2017!!). I finally bit the bullet and attempted to mend the plug. I bought 2 self crimping plugs for £15 each, and they failed horribly. I spent a day pfaffing about. I also bought a solder plug with a great big strong protective plug. I then spent 3 hours re-soldering a new plug on the end. I even bought a HDMI cable tester (£15) to make sure it worked before attaching it to my valuable equipment.I soldered everything (new super small soldering iron) and tested. It failed the test, time and again. I gave up, went and had a couple of beers and in a fit of peak, i decided to hang it all and attach the blasted thing anyway.Boom, first time with the PS3 it started up perfectly. It works with all features, CEC, ARC etc. It still failed the HDMI test using the tester I bought (it showed everything was shorted). I then realized that the in-line booster was probably causing all sorts of mayhem for the test equipment so ignored the results.So, long story to a shorter version; the cable definitely works and works well, but it is directional. There is an arrow on the cable with a label telling you which way to point it (amp to tv). It has a slightly weak plug at the end so be careful and it cannot be tested with a normal tester.I hope this helps another hard-working fool like me.

I'm an engineer and whilst not an electronic one have spend years working on electro-mechanical systems that cost hundreds of millions. And when I see home hifi cables advertised in the likes of What-HiFi that cost more per meter than the stuff we use to connect power management systems to dynamically positioned ships that cost more than small towns to build I know there is something wrong.The epic levels of utter trip spouted in the magazines I genuinely feel needs investigation for basically punting out utter guff that people end up spending hundreds of pounds on. Take HDMI cables.They are digital cables. 1's and 0's. If that 1 or 0 gets to from source to end point then no matter if you have an anaconda costing more than a new oven or a £1 cheapo, the signal is the same. Period. If the digital information is present then its there no matter how the cable looks or costs.And this cable is cheap. And it works perfectly as I expected it too. Not only that, it's pretty well made as well with nice solid moulded plugs and chunky(ish) cable.Bottom line is, 'Why pay more?'

with HDMI cables there is no better or worse image or sound, they either work or they don't, the ones and zero's either go through or they don't, makes me laugh when I see folks say their expensive HDMI improve their experience...recon they think the zeros are more rounded

Product came today, very high quality.Good length and seems to be very strong.I chose a braided one as it was stronger and being around children when it’s neing changed constantly from PS4, to Xbox, to different tv’s around the house it seemed the right option, I wasn’t expecting such high quality for a great price.

I re-instated what I thought was a broken DVD player but, having searched high and low, I could not find an HDMI cable, I am almost certain that there are a couple somewhere at home. I decided to partake of this two cable offer which will leave me with a spare, the other I used to connect the DVD player to my main TV, everything worked like a dream, the cable worked perfectly as did the "broken" DVD player. I now have a working DVD player, a spare HDMI cable and due to the cost of the cables, cash in my poke.

These HDMI cables are good value and the braiding suggests they'll be durable as does the substantial strain relief where the cable joins the plugs. The plugs seem a good fit and the cable is quite flexible and feels as though it's well shielded. The picture performance is fine and by that I mean no better, no worse than others I've used and in some cases paid considerably more for.

After browsing through the many HDMI cables available on Amazon at various prices this was my choice and so far I am totally satisfied with the product. The cable arrived a day or so earlier than promised and was well packed in an easy to open cardboard container.The robust 5m. long cable connection between my laptop and 46 inch TV gave a brilliant sharp picture with true to life colours and no discernible degradation anywhere. Some reviews were critical of the insecure end connectors of several makes of HDMI cables but the gold plated end plugs on this cable appear to be very firmly attached and durable. This is a recent purchase but my initial judgement is that, in the longer term, this product should continue to perform efficiently and give added pleasure to my TV and laptop viewing. In my opinion this is a good deal at a fair price.Thank you Amazon
