HDMI cable?

mttylad

I was in Asda a few days ago, saw a woman put one in her trolley that was going to cost her £7 so I told her if she wants to save £6 she can get one from Poundland and it will do as good a job as the one in her trolley.

She chose to pay the extra - wimmin!

I have many of the poundland ones and have never had a problem with them, I certainnly woud not pay £17-£35 like the shops are charging.

I use a Poundland one to connect my laptop to the tv and it is Ok as far as I can see. I did have to adjust the sound settings on my laptop first time, it does it automatically now.

I've also bought HDMI cables from Poundland without a problem, and optical audio cables too .

Mini HDMI are often seen on things like digital cameras, and I have seen them on Amazon for only a few ££

For normal everyday use, not ultra spec home cinema, these cheap cables are fine.

Still amazes me that all these years on since digital cables started to appear for audio-visual products, you still get loons who claim that a cable like this one

Is some how going to be better than this one?

Is called digital for a reason, and it either works or it don't.
Analogue is different, and so speaker cables and such like can be worth the extra, but again you're fooling no one except yourself paying £200 for £30 quid's worth of speaker cable.

Good to see on here at least people have the intelligence not to pay for a couple of quid for an HDMI.
