Amazon Basics 4K HDMI Cable 7.6m - 18Gbps High Speed with Ethernet, 4K@60Hz, 2160p, Black

Back in the old analogue days, there may have been some benefit to investing in expensive cabling. Good cables may have had an appreciable benefit to the quality of the signal, or its durability. These days, digital cables are built to a standard. Ethernet cables, HDMI cables, as long as they are compliant with the standard, they either work or they don't.I despair of seeing £40 HDMI cables in the shops. They're a huge waste of money when a £5 cable from Amazon will do the same job, to the same standard. This is compliant with the HDMI 2.0 spec, will support 4K HDR, feels durable whilst arriving in simple cardboard packaging. Can't fault it.

I have purchased a range of lengths in these cables and mostly they are fine but beware I have encountered lots of black screen flickering on my PS4 Pro with a 2 metre version of this cable.I have tested a few 1metre lengths and seems ok but the 2 metre which was running from my Soundbar to TV was causing handshake issues with the latest 4k standards, I switched it out for a older high speed cable I had and from early testing I have no more flickering black screen with PS4 pro.So it looks like there are a few of these cables that are not quite up to the spec they promote.

Amazon Basics products give fantastic quality at competitive prices. This HDMI cable is yet another example of this.It is very well made, far superior to most of cheap Chinese cables and cheaper than most good quality cables in the High Street. This cable looks sturdy enough to last for many years.Good quality HDMI cables have better RF screening by using thin aluminium foil and copper wire braiding around the individual cores. This is essential to protect the very high frequencies used in HDMI connections from interference from nearby mains cables, WiFi routers etc. My Amazon Basic HDMI cable was to replace a cheap Chinese cable which caused the TV to lose the sound and video for a few seconds every time my refrigerator in the adjacent kitchen turned on! The problem was fixed by using this new cable.Highly recommend this HDMI cable over other cables because of its good quality and attractive price.

Don't do many reviews but wanted to let fellow ps4 pro and Xbox one X owners know these work a treat for 4k hdr. Have tried a few so called high speed HDMI and have had trouble with signal dropping off and losing picture for a second or two on both my consoles. Not good when playing on cod or forza . Anyway I purchased these 4.5 m HDMI leads and they work a treat a last. Was starting to give up playing in 4k. They are a bit thick and rigid but at least I can now game in 4k hdr. 😀

Not much to say about these. They aren't very exciting, but they work and there's no point wasting your money on anything more expensive.People who tell you expensive cables are better than cheap ones are kidding themselves. With digital signals like HDMI your devices either get the signal or they don't - you could make a connection using old coke cans and a pair of scissors and if there was a signal path it'd be as good as a 'premium' cable made of pure silver.So, don't be a mug - use cheap cables :-)

I purchased this to connect my Apple 4K TV box to my Sony smart TV and it came well presented, the cable is thick and sturdy, unlike some other HDMI cables I have connected.It fits into the ports like a glove and upon configuring my Apple 4K TV, I was actually amazed at the quality of the picture. I seriously have seen nothing like it before... Yes I know its Apple 4K TV but I know that this value for money HDMI cable with 24k gold plated connections from Amazon helps enhance the stability and overall quality of the picture.There are no flickers or screen noise, it is perfect... (Almost feels like you are in the picture).I know there are cheaper cables online as I have purchased them before but they are not worth it, you seriously are wasting your money and at £4.99 (currently), this is your best quality option for any device.I will probably replace my other two HDMI cables with this as they come nowhere near with regards quality, durability and enhanced viewing satisfaction.Don't buy £1.99 versions or so online, you will regret it.If you need a brilliant HDMI cable, buy this and if you are not satisfied, Amazon always offer free returns.

I've used a number of expensive HDMI cables in the past but needed some longer ones to accommodate changes to our media system. Having read numerous reviews I found some technical articles that insisted that cheaper cables were just as effective as their expensive counterparts for normal domestic use and I can confirm that these work well in our system.My ageing hearing makes it impossible for me to claim to be an audiophile but crisp reproduction is important and these cables are matched up with a Yamaha 7:2 AV amp, Samsung 49" HDR TV and Samsung native 4K Bluray player. Even with a standard definition source, reproduction is excellent giving sharp pictures and well defined sound. At 4K reproduction is superb, there is no colour bleed, artefacts or distortions.At a fraction of the cost of high end cables I'm impressed.
