HDMIKing- Imperial Series 1.8M v1.3c 240hz+ HDMI Cable- Gold Plated, Double Insulated
These are my experiences and benefits with using this cable.
It is well known that high street shops are selling HDMI cables at 1000% real market value, I recently went into PCworld only to find a “similar” product was selling for £79.99!! I am not exaggerating at all, however to add insult to injury if you had purchased that product, the cables sheathing was only rubber! For PC world to push a sale on that would mean a round for everyone in the whole pub and still make a profit off the cable. Its disgusting how retailers get away with such prices, however I guess we can all say if you are delving into HDMI you’d expect to at least be up to date and have the internet, therefore only a fool wouldn’t compare prices over the net. So yes this cable is outrageously cheap compared to retail shops, however not the cheapest on amazon nor online. Worth the money…
Next I would like to comment about the length. Although the cable is 1.8m long and it is infact that actual length for me. The only “issue” I have noticed is that due to the sheathing being so tough and resistant to flexing that you have to make large curves in your cable when connecting. I use my laptop HDMI output on the left to a HDMI port on the back of my TV. The side port requires a good 5cm only which isn’t bad at all but the cable hangs on its own weight. However going into the back of the monitor the cable needs a good 5cm of cable plus the 4cm or so for the actual socket head. It is one of my only negatives about this, however it just shows how tough the cable is. Once it is seated in place and might I add that the connection fits snuggly, none of this falls out when someone opens the door to the room. Finally for negatives, around the socket head there is a tiny bit of fraying on the nylon braiding. Nothing serious no issues really with that, I imagine its something to expect on most tough braiding. If we were to look for one improvement I would say to put a thin layer of transparent rubber around the outside to seal in the braiding for extra durability.
Signal transmission is astounding for the price I’ve paid, comparing this on other cables my friend has whom has fallen into the extortionately priced deals at high street shops there is no difference, in fact this cable might just be clinching the better picture quality, Durablity and definately price!
Overall if you’re spending £100’s on a new Monitor/TV for specific HDMI viewing do what I did… look around, I have this paired up with a Samsung 22″ P2270HD monitor excellent combination! Don’t fall into this silly trap and ideas of people that if you pay high prices for a TV/Stereo pay high prices on cables. Cables aren’t expensive to make and therefore shouldn’t be 1/3 the price of your TV.
Thank you for reading and Goodnight!
P.S I recommend you buy this product

These are solid cables well worth the money, you would easily pay twice as much from a normal high street shop. I bought these to replace the standard cables you normally get with units.

Not having much experience with other HDMI cables (this being the 1st I’ve owned) I can’t comment on how it compares to other products, however, based on the use of this with my PS3 I have absolutely no complaints and would recommend it to others. I didn’t seem to have an issue with the flexibility of the cable like some people have mentioned; also, the fact that it is future proof and the low cost make this a winner. I’d stick with this product for any further HDMI needs.
