Customer Reviews

HDMI Cable

Bought this cable to connect my new samsung blu-ray disc player to my panasonic lcd television .

After ordering, noticed that the handbook stipulated that a high speed [cat2]cable must be used,so thinking
that one so cheap may not work ordered another brand of cable twice the price ,but on arrival both cables worked
and I could not see any difference.

Don't believe what the salesmen tell you!
When it comes to HDMI cables, the signal is digital, not analogue so it's either a 1 or a 0, don't be fooled into buying those horrendously overpriced cables on offer from other manufacturers or retailers, they won't do the job any better than this one.

The cable itself is really well made, I can't fault it at all, the gold plated connectors and a good end on the cable are really all you're after when it comes to HDMI, and this product ticks both the boxes. However as an added bonus it comes in the frustration free packaging so I didn't have to battle with a pair of scissors and a Stanley knife/possible trip to A&E to get to the thing.

All in all, great product, great packaging, great price.

Exceptional value for money
As I have said in previous Amazon reviews, most HDMI cables available today (particularly on the high street) are criminally overpriced. I have seen some stores charging ridiculous prices for standard own-brand 2M cables, hoping that customers will be persuaded to buy their cables at the same time as a new TV/DVD player. Several friends have fallen for this cheap ploy before realising how much cheaper they can be found online. This AmazonBasics cable is an excellent example of a high quality own-brand cable available for a really good price online.

It has all the technical features you would expect (HDMI 1.3b compliance, gold-plated plugs) with no unwanted frills. In fact, the only thing it seems to lack compared to more expensive cables is a decent warranty. Most branded cables come with a limited lifetime warranty, whereas this one just has a standard 1 year warranty, as required by law for all electrical equipment. Realistically though, cables don't 'break' anyway. If treated well, they will last a lifetime if they don't suffer from accidental damage.

In terms of quality, the only noticeable difference compared to higher price competitors is a lack of protective braiding around the main PVC cable body, which would serve to protect it from kinks, scrapes and nicks. In addition, all the branding and logos are just cheap stickers! However, this can be excused at such a low price point.

Overall, this has to be highly recommended for its excellent value and simplicity. It even comes in packaging that doesn't tear your hands to shreds when you open it (unlike the usual transparent plastic). Bargain!
