    I received mine in the post this week, hopefully they are decent quality but I always worry about items this cheap and how it’s possible to make them this cheap whilst doing what they say..

      i have a few of these around . they are decent and have had no problems and its backed by Amazon warranty. Any issues can send them straight back.

      • TheGoodPart on 12/04/2019 - 23:40

        +1 I've used mine for 6+ months and never had an issue, I also move it pretty much daily so it has wear and tear. Happy with the purchase.

        Can you confirm if they can properly transmit 4k 60fps?

    • hgaoxhgaox on 12/04/2019 - 22:44

      HDMI cable should be cheap indeed.

      "Probably" don't need one. But at $2.40 a cable it's a good price to buy. Went crazy trying to fix my home theatre system cause it was using a hdmi cable without arc that I bought in 2014.

      • fishball on 13/04/2019 - 00:01
        +4

        The last time I needed one in a hurry had to pay like $15 at officeworks, was a feelsbadman moment. Rather have spares than none lol.

      • locknuts on 13/04/2019 - 07:45

        The cables need to be arc compliant too? Is that what I've been doing wrong?

        • MilkDrinker on 13/04/2019 - 14:05
          +2

          Generally all cables past 1.4 can do arc and cec. Some are just really old versions and can't. If it's labelled "with Ethernet" or "high speed" or "ultra high speed" it can do arc generally.

  • reactor-au on 12/04/2019 - 23:20

    With HDMI 2.1 out now, are these on clearance?

    • J4ckal on 12/04/2019 - 23:29

      No such thing as HDMI 2.0 cables in the first place.

      • MilkDrinker on 12/04/2019 - 23:49

        But there is such a thing as 2.1 cables. I don't think 8k and Dolby atmos sound is going to be a standard until 2021 onwards so these are just a good price.

        • cyrax83 on 13/04/2019 - 00:56

          What content will be 8k?

        • TailsK on 13/04/2019 - 06:25

          Do these support Atmos?

          • MilkDrinker on 13/04/2019 - 11:19

            @TailsK: 2.1 is a new expensive hdmi version that supports Dolby atmos. Anything below might downgrade it a bit to stereo level. Not sure how many can tell the difference. 8k 60 Hz looks to be 2.1 along with eARC.

            Like Foxtel offers HD content now, in 5 years it might offer 8k HD.

            Alternative naming is "high speed" hdmi should be new normal + sound, Ultra high speed might give you 4K + tv. Not sure if they will have Super Ultra Mega high speed for 8k…

              +2

              @MilkDrinker: 8K video or broadcasting still faraway from us, let me say 5 years to go at least, more likely 10 years to go.

            • TailsK on 13/04/2019 - 13:24

              @MilkDrinker: I have a LG C8 TV and SK10Y soundbar, which has Dolby Atmos. "Atmos" comes up on the soundbar when it has an Atmos source now, but I'm not using any special HDMI, at least not as far as I'm aware.

              • MilkDrinker on 13/04/2019 - 14:00

                @TailsK: https://www.cnet.com/news/hdmi-2-1-what-you-need-to-know/

                Link says you don't get full Dolby atmos resolution with ARC even if current cable can support it. Newer eARC should give that. Implication being that old cable is slightly scaled down. Also says that most TVs and sound devices don't even have 2.1 connections. It's like 3 month old tech right now, baby steps.

      • DanielP2 on 13/04/2019 - 00:06

        If you are planning on using them for 4k 60hz, they will need to support the bandwidth tho. I had to buy all new HDMI cables because i couldn't even get my computer to switch to 4k resolution with my old 1.4 cables even though 1080p worked fine. You may have better luck with high quality old cables I guess, mine were all cheap.

        People who negged, please link me a reputable source on 1.4 or 2.0 HDMI CABLES existing. Please learn to read. You can't use the terms interchangeably in the same way rj45 can't be with ethernet.

    Not a better deal but FYI in a pinch Officeworks have their “home brand” Keji HDMI cables hidden down the bottom of the shelves below the overpriced crap. 1.5m for $3.98, 5m for $8.88. Has saved me a few times when in desperate need for a decent price.

    • errorius on 13/04/2019 - 09:51

      Is that price for 3 cables as well?

      • deelaroo on 13/04/2019 - 17:19

        No, single cable, hence me saying not a better deal.

  • AdamFury on 13/04/2019 - 01:17

    I paid twice as much and delivery on top of that.

    • Alzori on 13/04/2019 - 06:44

      Might have been for a previously delayed purchase or something. I had something similar a while ago, went to buy an item and randomly got like $5 off and I had no idea why. I don't think Amazon is good at communicating about their assorted credits but it makes for a nice surprise when you get it.

      • haboutnnah on 13/04/2019 - 06:52

        That makes sense

  • dreamstation on 13/04/2019 - 07:20

    Has anyone had any issues with HDR using these cables?

      • dreamstation on 13/04/2019 - 08:56
        +3

        That doesn't really answer my question. I've had issues with HDR not working properly on some older HDMI cables before. HDR will probably work just fine with these cables but there's always the possibility that it won't. Just after confirmation from people who already own them that's all.

        • pc6673 on 13/04/2019 - 09:19

          normal 4K p60 HDMI cable can do that… difference is the quality of cable

  • David76 on 13/04/2019 - 10:00

    I was told to buy "premium" labelled HDMI cables for my Hisense P7 and Yamaha sound bar. If not, there will be a millisecond sound delay from the TV to the sound bar. Not sure if this is true or not.

      I googled and found this:

      https://www.hdmi.org/manufacturer/premiumcable/faq.aspx

      The 'premium' label just means that the cable has been tested. It sounds like a marketing ploy…

      Nowadays, it's easy to call people out for their BS, as you've literally got the internet on your fingertips - just whip out your phone and search right in front of them and see how they react. :)

    • mangoed on 13/04/2019 - 10:54

      Of course you need a premium cable for your budget TV.

      • David76 on 13/04/2019 - 11:35

        On a low income it's a premium TV.

    • zagzzig on 13/04/2019 - 11:15

      The difference between you seeing pictures on TV (light speed) and hearing sounds from TV (sound speed) is already about 10ms if you sit 3m away from TV.
      Can you feel that? If not, why bother another 1ms.

    • bighorse on 14/04/2019 - 01:18

      I have a Hisense P7 with a Samsung sound bar, with an old budget hdmi cable. Can confirm I definitely get a minor sound delay. It's not much but you can tell the lip sync is just slightly off. I've tried playing with all the settings and can't seem to fix it. The only thing left to try is the hdmi cable, so I've bought this deal and hoping it fixes it!!
