I had unfortunately ignored the relevant warnings here. But in fact: The cable is apparently too long for its poor shielding. No matter what combination laptop / PC / TV / DVD player, I try always leads to many clearly visible colored pixel. I never thought that something like that can happen with digital transmission at all. I then ordered another cable (AmazonBasics) which transmits unfortunately considerably thicker and is a bit more expensive, but accurate. So who still buys this cable here, should first open the packaging carefully, test the cable and then return it if necessary. I had already thrown away before the first test and packaging inserts, so I probably can not give it back, but just throw in the garbage.
