Topic: Are those cheap HDMI cables ok to use? (for gaming)

[jeffmangum]

The tv salesman was forcing us to buy this Monster HDMI which costs 4k but i remember seeing cables online that are only sold for 300 pesos. And im only gonna use the hdmi for my xbox 360 and thats it.

So are those cheap hdmi ok? If not then what should I buy? Thanks.

usually ok naman depende sa model ng HDMI and applications. For P300, it's worth a try naman.

Cdr king cables are fine. Remember that the D in HDMI stands for Digital. So it's either you get the full digital video and audio signal or you dont. Minsan pag malas makaka tsamba ka ng distorted video or audio signal. But those are few and far in between.

Ay oo nga pala! My bad there! *shame*
My terrible, terrible bad. Thanks much for spotting that.

What i wanted or meant to say is that the signal is digital.

Also, see this video for cheapo hdmi cables vs. Monster cables.

I'm using monoprice hdmi cable. No problem at all. Gamit ko sa ps3. Less than php 300 lang...

no problem with those cheap ones as long as hindi mahaba. anything longer than 5M hanap ka na ng mas magandang quality.

Thanks guys! Buti nalang di ko binili yung piniilit na hdmmi cable ng tv salesman sakin. 1500 pesos! Sa cdrking nalang ako bibili 100 lang

if you notice a "noisy" image with artifacts, it's probably your hdmi cable.

try mo din sa Electronic Botique... a little bit more expensive than CDRking pero more reliable. based on my experience

Problema mo lang sa CD-R King, last time I checked, Out Of Stock pa din... mukang may sabwatang nagaganap
