"Decent" HDMI cables?

DHR · 26 Dec 2015 at 21:38

I need to buy a handful of 2m HDMI cables (ideally 1.4b), not bothered about them being branded QED ones etc, just reasonably priced cables that will last.

Ideally need them rushed to me too :-D

4-5 2-3m cables that'll last for < £50 (available via 24hr deliver if possible

)

I've been of the same opinion for years but I've had no end of problems and time wasted tracing faults back to a cable that's weakened over time (even when not moved) particularly with setups that are tidy and hidden away.

Wasn't after anything to sit along side my £10k Ethernet cable, just a reasonable quality, cheap cable that'll do the job for a few years.

Just looking at the 'jungle' basic ones and they look alright for the money £7.50 for 2 which doesn't seem bad

Ended up going with these, build quality is good and they're decent value thanks.

I hope so anyway
