Amazing convincing ...

After purchasing a new computer with the appropriate graphics card (GTX 670 EVGA FTW), I wanted to join this addition to my Philips TV on the other side of the living room. To this end, I went to the local electronics store, where he bought a suitable HDMI cable. However, I did so without substantive preparation. Hey, I just want to buy only one cable!
The question of the well-trained specialist adviser to the desired length and the end, I answered with; "About 5 feet and 'nen PC to a LCD TV halt", whereupon I a short snort and the formulation; "Uff, that is expensive" must hear and ever must swallow hard. In fact, I want a 5 meter long HDMI cable costs 50 euros and is proud then, according to the client advisor with this price rather in the middle segment. He wants to know about me so happy something significantly Higher quality, after all, I would indeed connect a PC to the Top TV. This is followed by further technical designs, of which I probably understood only half. Unfortunately, however, they are at present only this cable. (?!? ... * Think *) All right my talkative friend, I take once with the supposedly cheap cable for 49.99 Euro. I harvest a smile from him, as well as the obligatory acknowledgment and friendly; "Please visit us again soon," the lady at the cash register.
Once home, I realize that I am the length of the cable on my gut feeling would have on less should leave. It is about 1.5 meters too short. Crap! When I got the shoes almost back to me and wants to do it again on the way to the electric market, I get the bright idea and, briefly at Amazon reinzuschauen. Lo and behold, it can be found several HDMI cable. The sophisticated versions of the client advisor wealthy still in my ears, I decide rather skeptical, but the unbeatable price of scarce 5 euros due also to experiment to order the reviewed here HDMI cable 1.3 / 1.3b Full HD 1080p 7.5m length. Just in time for the weekend, it was also given me and it runs all the best. A high-resolution 1080p video file, and a Blueray I will now show on the cheap HDMI cable and, for comparison, over the still existing expensive cables on the TV. Honestly ... I see absolutely no difference. Neither image nor sound. And for one-tenth of the price, with a 7.5 meter cable from the merchants safe again much more than the 5 meter Fehlkauf would have cost.

Conclusion:

My misjudgment to the length of the required cable has made me ultimately save a lot of money, provided the return of expensive false purchase the dealer goes smoothly.

@ All ... With the offered here HDMI cable to do when Otto-Normal-consumer certainly nothing wrong. It can be laid super good since it handled (compact delivery) ausliegt quickly good. Picture and sound are very convincing and despite some parallel laid Another cable, do I respect and no interference. The shield firmly. Small price and super quality. So it does not always have the expensive standard from the specialized trade!

(Now I must only think about how I again so wound up getting the 5 meters broadband cable from the dealer that they fit into the package and sit down for replacement again with the loquacious client advisors apart.)
