Good product.
If a cable seems to work, how are we supposed to assess its comparative value without being a technocrat with sophisticated testing equipment? This product did for me what I needed so I am giving it 5 stars. The price was good, too. But it might be only a 3-star product compared to some other cable. Who can know?

4K UHD HDR Compatible
I had a few skips / hangups going from the Fire TV Cube to the new TV when changing to the 10-bit 4K. I suspected it was the older HDMI cables and was right was causing bit-errors. Once the cable was replaced, all issues were gone.

Excellent quality great price
This cord works perfectly. I bought it to stream my audio from the TV to the soundbar via the "ARC" hdmi port on the tv. This cable has the capacity to carry 4k sounds and it exceeds my expectations. I have been using optical cables before this and I wish I would have made the switch sooner.

Much better quality than the price would suggest
I have to give credit to Amazon for an awful lot of their "Basics" range. The quality tends to be superb, and that is certainly the case with these cables.
The connectors are very high quality, the cable attached to them very well. I have no concerns at all that if you stressed the cable at the point it attaches to the cable, it would stand up very well.
For the money, you just can't beat this, and there's absolutely zero reason to spend anymore.

Very well made Amazon Basics Premium HDMI cable.
I bought this 15 ft cable to connect my laptop to my vizio tv. The cable is very well made and durable. The picture transmission was great.. I bought this 15 ft cable rather than the much longer next size and the length turned out to be a tight fit. I reordered a different non braided cable that was a little slimmer and more flexible that fit the need better and took the tension off my port connections.

Perfect but not needed
I purchased this to use with a new computer monitor that I also got from Amazon to use as a second screen for my work laptop. I'm a self-confessed techo-idiot and barely know the difference between HDMI, USB, etc. I relied on one of the reviews that stated I would need to order this along with the monitor. But when the monitor arrived, it had the cable with it. Oh well, not worth sending back. Maybe another use for it will come up.

Durable
I give a lot of presentations outside my office. I always seems to have issues with borrowed HDMI cables, so I decided to order one for myself. I went with the 10 ft option to accommodate different set ups. This cable is super durable, so it should hold up well to frequent use. This is a great price considering these cables tend to go missing in many offices!

Great value and quality product
I just installed these cables linking my Samsung Series 8 4k TV to a Sony 4k Blu ray player and cannot comment on their durability. However, the picture quality is incredible. I cannot see how the picture could be improved by using a more expensive cable. I am sold on the view of experts that spending more than a dollar per foot for this type of cable is a waste of money. I bought two more cables my other TVs. I highly recommend this product.

Saved the day
Was suddenly having streaming problems. Netflix would just shut down. Ditto Hulu & HBO/Max. However, instead of Amazon Prime just not working like the others, it showed a notification to change my HDMI cables. Wasn't sure if that was really the problem since the other streaming sources didn't mention it, but it was the answer.
Question & Answer
Question :
What is the difference in these and the amazonbasics high-speed hdmi cable?
Answer :
This is the much better quality cable. It also has great connections on both ends unlike the Amazon basics cable which are a little cheaply made. As a person who works in the cinema industry and does video post production I highly recommend this cable for all your needs.
Question :
Are these rated for in-wall installation?
Answer :
Honestly, this is a question I never even knew to ask until this year. I have used coaxial and HDMI cables in and out of walls for decades and never had a hint of a problem. They aren't carrying electrical current after all. I don't know if these cables are specifically rated for in-wall use, but I wouldn't hesitate to use them that way.
Question :
Is this an hdmi 2.0 or 1.4 cable ??
Answer :
HDMI 2.0. It will work with any modern tv or receiver.
Question :
Is the cable uni-directional or bi-directional?
Answer :
If you have an ARC compatible device then it will work to send and receive
Question :
is it compatible with spectrum cable tv box?
Answer :
Not a good question, you should find your specification of the "spectrum cable tv box" and see if it's HDMI compatible, this cable are just standard HDMI cables that have qualify to run 4K, if the box is standard then it works with the cable.
Question :
We have a samsung curve 65 hdr crystal un65tu8300 tv and simply cant get xfinity to work. netflix etc all fine. will this work for getting cable?
Answer :
It's worth a shot. Worse case you can return them. If dolby or 4k isnt a requirement, you should be fine.
Question :
Are the plugd gold plated?
Answer :
Yes they are.
Question :
can this cable do 1440p @ 144hz?
Answer :
That's what I'm using it for
Question :
What gauge wires does this use?
Answer :
Since these cables do not carry electricity, they usually do not address the gauge size. I don't know the answer to your question but I don't believe it applies to HDMI cables.
Question :
My Hulu on my fire stick is always going out, so i want to go back to view my sports this way, it will work good right?
Answer :
First thing you have to make sure the fire stick is not faulty, changing HDMI cable may help but I guess you're not having problem with cable, otherwise you'll always have "signal lost" from the TV.
