with regarding sa qulity ng sound at video im sure wlang loss tlaga dahil digital once nakuha signal yun nayun...

but with regards sa tibay at tagal ng gamit I would go for a branded cable thats worth 700-1k, (nakabili ka nga ng LCD worth 40-50k)
what do u expect from CDR king puro cheap items

, though usefull items I should say..... and most of the time completo sila....
king baga panalo sa performance sasablay sa katagalan (bka magulat ka nalang one day lumutong yung mga balat ng wires mo)

bakit yan 700 to 1k mo hindi po ba FAKE din na branded daw hehehehehehe. masdan mo yan nabili mo 1k cable and compared it sa cd-r king cable magugulat ka same lang ang quality. overpricing lang talaga ang mga reputable store dito sa pinas

good luck

i agree. kung sablay sa build quality, edi bili na lang ulit. kahit tatlong beses magpalit, mura pa rin sa 700-1k na brand.....pero seriously, mukhang tatagal naman yung cable, using them for over 3 months now, no issues so far.

Well explained. Thats the reason why I bought an extra HDMI from CDR king just this Friday! 1.8m for 200.

Audio Pro 5 meter HDMI cable for P850.00 at Landmark Hardware Trinoma. Saw also Audio Pro HDMI male-male connector, DVI-HDMI adapter, HDMI male-female connector at said shop. FYI

mga sir, yong terminal (HDMI) at saka yong quality nang wire na ginamit, malaking factor sa durability nang cable.
Hindi mo naman kita after sometime kung may deterioration na (lalo yong green na parang amag nang wire at terminal), unless of course you splice it every month.

Experience ko lang naman with cheap shielded wire and terminals.

I'll still go for monster cable, the one worth P11K. I believe that to get the best quality and ensure that your investments will last long, you shouldn't scrimp. So if you have the money (which you did when you bought an LCD tv in the first place), go for quality (which is usually the ones that are expensive). That's just an opinion.

By the way, wala pa akong P11K but would not hesitate to buy the one from monster cable if I did.

gulp!!! 11k and it doesnt even improve the signal....coz its a digital signal.....maybe the cable is wrapped in gold....

Hi,
I've seen a lot of debate on investing on a branded HDMI cable vs. the 200 peso HDMI of CD-R King... What do these branded cables have that the CD-R King HDMI cable does not?

I think the main question is... what do i lose if I choose the CD-R King cable?

Many thanks!

nerveblocker · « **Reply #74 on:** Feb 04, 2008 at 08:04 PM »

Sa P11k, lifetime supply na yun ng CDR-King HDMI cables.

I think this was answered before, but I remember that there was none in terms of quality of video/audio. Durability is a question nobody can answer, CDR-King's HDMI has only been in the market less than a year or so, so it's your call.

byron · « **Reply #76 on:** Feb 05, 2008 at 09:29 AM »

thanks for the inputs. sometimes it's a marketing hype for the expensive cables whereas you only need a 200-peso cable to make it work. I think the rationale there would be - you've already made a HEFTY investment on the devices (TV, Players, etc...) ano ba naman yung sa cable?

I find this thread very interesting. Actually - very tempting. With all the scientific inputs here, I think the 200-peso cable will be as good as the branded ones.

galing.

thanks!

Both sides have a logical point of view, but for me it's economics. Why buy something expensive, when a bargain is available? I'm stressing the word 'bargain', rather than cheap, because cheap projects a low quality picture. Plus, with the testimony of fellow pdvd members, it really is turning out to be a bargain, than a cheap HDMI cable.

Hi IceTea,
haha, I think you've used the right marketing terms there! great price/performance ratio if I would say it...

many thanks!

the manufacturer has to pay a huge chunk of that money to the marketing people.

THE implicit context of this thread is that a P200 HDMI cable is as good as the prestigiously-branded ones. Not quite. This is my experience. I owned three HDMI's: A 1-meter Galaxy brand made in Taiwan, a 1-meter Kimber Kable, and an 8-meter (31+ feet) Kimber. The Galaxy came from around four years ago, long before HDMI came into vogue. It cost P700, the Kimber 1m. at P4,000 and the super-long 8m. at P16,000. The Galaxy puts out a picture with more GORGEOUS coolor, a richer color pallette. But its the Kimbers that I have put into fixed use. Why? Because it gives a sharper image and has more natural looking colors. In measures thats not easily quantifiable, the Galaxy indeed brings richer colors, while the Kimbers puts out a quantisimal less. But I have to go for the more natural looking tinges and a sharper picture resolution because thats technically more faithful to the source material. Yet as a side note, the British HIFI-HOME CINEMA magazine chain - a journal thats more appreciated by audio-video technical reviewers rates the Kimbers (whose HDMI is only a single grade, no other variations) as more "colorful" than its distinguished competitions in (at least in) Europe like QED, IXOS, Monsters. From such evaluation, it means the Kimber brings richer color but it does not "adulterate" the tints & hues inherent in the source like the Galaxy probably does. Probably for most folks, using the Galaxy gives better cheers because its just certifiably gorgeous, but for some, they're more stubborn in going after a more faithful reproduction.
The P16,000 Kimber, while truly hard to swallow at first on my part, ultimately makes itself justifiable because of its length, but beyond and above that is its capability to give absolutely no deterioration on the image despite the hyper-long length. I took this length because it is de rigeur for front projection systems that is not easily fixed in a locale thats near a video player, a computer or other sources. It is said that no HDMI cable is being made outside of China or Taiwan, hence HDMIs are more "egalitarian" among themselves in craftsmanship. But based on the perceivable color of the Galaxy and Kimber - these things may not be exactly created equal....

Hi guys,

would you know if there is a benchmarking entity for cables? same as that of TV sets?

thanks!

kenjibaboy · « **Reply #84 on:** Feb 05, 2008 at 04:20 PM »

input lang re hdmi cables from cdr king. i friend of mine bought the Php300.00 cable (i think it's the same with the php200.00 one except for the length). i think that was a month ago. sira na ngayon. bumili sya ng bago so hopefully it'll last longer this time.

Can anyone explain why this is so? Is there any technical explanation for these phenomena? Because based on the explanation,being digital, it is either 0 or 1, yes or no, meron or wala. So how come there was a difference in picture quality? Speed of transmission maybe?

That is why i would still go for the 200 peso CDR king HDMI cable. Masira, 200 lang ulet and I could do it over and over again. 11k? I dont think so.

I bought a 16-meter Kimber cable na HDMI. Very expensive. Sira, and it took several weeks to determine that it was the cable. Akala kasi muna ung dvd player or ang projector.

I also have a P1200 HDMI cable from Pioneer, P800 HDMI cable from Electronic Boutique and P200 HDMI cable from CD-R King. I think all of them are exactly the same, except for the Kimber cable that was so expensive tapos sira pala.
