It does not depend on the price.

I had bought in the "electronics market of my choice" an AV receiver and the matching HDMI cable Set a known accessory suppliers (H..a) ...
The cable met the mid-price segment of the manufacturer. In spite of everything I had with the new cabling sporadic audio dropouts / dropped frames.
On the advice of a colleague (Thanks!) I ordered the Amazon cable. For exactly one quarter of the price.
What can I say, everything is running smoothly, as it should be. I guess that's running better shielding the Amazon cable. The build quality of the HDMI connector can convince.
Had I known this ehr I had a frustrating weekend with Kriechübungen behind the plant and around the cupboard can save me.
I can only say try and not fall for the myth cable. The Amazon cable are inexpensive and good!
Note:
The long cord is quite thick, that's right. It can be but with a little patience still embarrassed quite well.
For confine mounting conditions, there are special flat cable, it is somewhat more expensive ...
