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.

THE BEST HDMI CABLE I HAVE OWNED SO FAR !!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 June 2019
Im always careful when it comes to buying cables as I have just threw money away in the past by buying cheap and having them break after a few weeks.As this was part of the basics line by amazon for a basic cable I wasn't expecting much, but it has certainly exceeded my expectations. This cable is absolutely solid ! very thick and strong wire with really rugged and tough connectors which I can see lasting for a very long time. Bought for use with my samsung 32 inch 4k monitor which works perfectly with brilliant image quality.If you are looking for a solid cable for within a reasonable budget I would definitely recommend this. The build quality and materials makes this the best hdmi cable ive owned so far.
