Does Cheap HDMI cable performs same way as Branded one...?

Question

I see HDMI cables are sold $3 at eBay where as Walmart ot Target name branded like Sony, VIZIO sold at $30 to $45.

Does it really make any major difference in Video or Audio quality...? Did you use any cheap HDMI and found any difference with Name Branded like SONY, Vizio, HDMI...?

Answer 1

With a digital picture, you will not see a quality difference in the video or audio because of the cable. It will either work or it won't. Digital signals are data. A cable can't change the numbers. If the TV can make out the numbers, it will assemble a perfect picture. If it can't it will give up and report "no signal".



The differences will be in the quality of materials and workmanship.

Answer 2

You are not going to see any difference between the cable. The only difference is the way it is made with different type of wires. If you do not have a very expensive electronic I would not spend the extra money on cables. There are some cable that can cost you thousands of dollars in the market. Hope this will help you out.

I recently purchased two 25ft HDMI cables at Amazon.They only cost $6.99 each. They arrive on time and I was impressed with the quality of the cables. The cables are very sturdy and well made. The picture quality is amazing. I would recommend these to anybody looking for HDMI cables. Yes they work just as good as the branded one. check them out at Amazon.

They sure do. I can attest to that too. I recall spending a fortune on HDMI cables at those retail electronic stores and it's such a waste of money. If you can afford a few days to wait for the cable - they buy online. I've definitely seen them as cheap at $3, but just make sure the ends of the cables are gold plated. I bought my last HDMI cable online at, http://www.trianglecables.com/hdmi.html A great site that a buddy of mine in IT suggested. It's always my first stop when I'm looking for various cables and adapters.
