How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsEnd of the line for overpriced HDMI cables
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 10, 2023
THIS.... Is Amazon basics HDMI cable... and I can say that it is the best quick option for a nice HDMI cable at any length you could need!

Let me clear the air on some HDMI misconceptions real quick - HDMI cables have nothing to do with whatever version of HDMI your tv has be it HDMI 1.4 , 2.0 , 2.1 or 2.2 as that is the PHYSICAL port on the tv, soundbar, GPU or what have you - the cable is merely the transporter from one thing to the other and either work or doesn't. There is no need for a higher 'grade' of cable as there is nothing you can do to the cable to make it transmit data better. I am sure that Bestbuy would love to sell you on 1000 reasons their $150 cable makes your colors better, but that is all marketing. This is exactly like charging your phone, the cable doesn't charge your phone faster as it is all in the block plugged into the wall - this is the same principle as the cable is merely passing the data.

The non-braided cable and endpiece are really well-constructed out of generic rubber-ish material, they are ever so slightly stiff, but are otherwise perfect for any need you could have! There is no issue slotting them next to each other either as the head of the plug maintains a slim profile.

I recommend this HDMI cable to anyone in need of one! The price is unbeatable for an HDMI cable, and you will be wasting your money on anything more expensive as this is about as good as it gets(unless you HAVE TO HAVE a braided cable). Once again another reason to have high expectations from an amazon brand as this is another example of a great Amazon Essentials product!

REMEMBER!! Your cable is only as good as your HDMI port, so this cable can do 1080p, 4k and more!

1.0 out of 5 stars Does not work between Samsung Blu-Ray and Samsung Soundbar with Samsung TV (!)
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 5, 2022
Number of Items: 1Color: BlackSize: 10 FeetVerified Purchase
I installed this cable -- well, a couple of them, in fact, between my Samsung Smart TV and several items back in 2017. My Blu-Ray player and Soundbar are also Samsung devices. Zero compatibility question between them. Well, the Blu-Ray is connected to the Soundbar, and the Soundbar is connected to the TV. Boring by-the-book setup. Scads of problems with the TV deciding it couldn't figure out what the Soundbar was, intermittently, if you turned up the Blu-Ray player. To get it all working again was a complex exercise in resetting the TV via unplug or sparsely-documented reset sequence, blah blah blah.

I blamed the Blu-Ray. Kind of an edge device in the age of streaming, whatever. Until 2022.

In 2022, things got weirder and wouldn't behave in bigger terms. HDCP errors, sound but no video, plus the original set of issues if trying to use the Blu-Ray player. On a hunch, I decided to swap out this Amazon cable, replacing it with a not-Amazon one that had been more recently produced (and, interestingly, thicker).

All those problems that had been in and out starting with the original install went buh-bye. Permanently.

Note again that I have more than one of this Amazon cable. There was one going from the Blu-Ray to the Soundbar, and one going from the Soundbar to the TV. Apparently the one going to the Blu-Ray is incompatible with whatever is going on in all these communications, to the point of the Blu-Ray-Soundbar cable keeping the TV -- connected by ANOTHER of the same Amazon cable -- from figuring out how to talk to the Soundbar at all. Loud, clear, comm issues, which suggests a standards compliance issue.

Or at least a standards compliance issue that affects things that talk to Samsung Blu-Ray players and/or Soundbars. Beats me.

I want to give this cable more stars but with that kind of history, I simply can't. Unfortunate, because it seemed like a good buy.

1.0 out of 5 stars What good is great picture quality when the cable goes kaput?
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 10, 2021
Number of Items: 1Color: BlackSize: 3 FeetVerified Purchase
Sure it's cheap. Sure we got over a year's worth of usage out of it. But the long and the short of it is that it FAILED COMPLETELY, right in the middle of an important work meeting. In the middle of a presentation. Black Screen of Death. A most inconvenient and embarrassing episode. Lots of yelling. A curse word or two...or a couple of dozen. Belatedly I had to scavenge the HDMI cable off of my Xbox in order to get my wife's work computer back to operational order. Good thing I happened to be home, else who knows what I might've come home to.

I suppose it could happen to any cable. But it DIDN'T. It happened to THIS one. I guess this unit was one of the 2 percenters (represented by the "one star" crowd reviling this product here on Amazon). So much for glorification of the "Basics". 'Miffed' doesn't even begin to describe the feeling. 'Torqued' however begins to...

That said, I recently bought a 6 foot Amazon Basics HDMI cable...for the second time. Originally I had intended on using this new 6 footer for another device that I've got coming. The first 6 foot cable was purchased around the SAME TIME as this 3 footer that failed. So here's hoping that it continues to run on my second Xbox One, as this new one returns my first Xbox One back into service. And I now must decide whether I want to chance going cheap again and using yet ANOTHER Amazon Basics HDMI cable for this new inbound computer, or just suck it up and buy a more expensive 'name brand' cable and hope that its quality is better. I mean only 2% of absolute negativity isn't a bad ratio. Better than even Pfizer's COVID vaccine's success rate. Odds are heavily in my favor that such a calamitous failure won't happen a second time, right?

Except when and if it does. Which NOW I can't get out of my mind. It's just like all of those cheap, money-sucking USB cables that are endlessly sold here on the website and fail miserably months if not weeks on.

Thanks Amazon.

1.0 out of 5 stars SUCKS
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 21, 2022
Number of Items: 1Color: BlackSize: 6 FeetVerified Purchase
I am not happy. I bought this for my xbox one s and the picture was shaky and looked like a computer screen when you film it with a phone (if you know what i mean). I hated it but I thought I could live with it. So I powered thru, until I had only been watching youtube the first 2 days and decided I wanted to play a game and I clicked on minecraft. Literally anytime I tried to watch something (netflix, disney +, etc) that wasnt a youtube video, the screen would go, picture, black, picture, black, picture, black. And it would not stop until I unplugged the power.
I thought my xbox broke, this has never happened before I plugged this hdmi cord in.
So I plugged in my hdmi cord I bought from walmart in the livingroom and boom it was fine. No flashing on and off, no shaky gross picture.
I usually love every product from amazon but this one was worthless for me. Not worth the chance. Go to walmart.

1.0 out of 5 stars This cable is problematic.
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 12, 2021
Number of Items: 2Color: BlackSize: 3 FeetVerified Purchase
I bought this cable about 18mo ago to work with my Channel Master DVR+. I cut the cord years ago and liked the CM7500+ OTA DVR so much I went back for a 2nd, but alas, they didn't make them anymore. Finally found a used one on eBay; bought it. Bought this new cable to interface it with my new Yamaha Receiver. Live TV was perfect, but DVR playback was plagued with intermittent drop-outs of AUDIO ONLY. I assumed it was the used eBay Channel Master CM7500+ OTA DVR for quite sometime since is was only audio and only playback; never live TV. . I recently had spare time on my hands recovering from surgery and started more in depth troubleshooting. Reseated the HDMI cable several times on BOTH ends (cause is was driving me crazy with all of the TV I had to watch during recovery); no change at all. Noticed the DVR+ had a mini optical audio out port. Bought a new fiber optic cable and replacement HDMI cable as well since I was jumping in. Verdict: NO MORE Audio dropouts regardless of whether I used the new fiber-optic OR the new HDMI cable. THIS cable was ONLY 3' long; what the hell? The new cable is 3x-4x the cost of THIS one and designed to work with 8k signals - which this is not. But the bottom line is that these audio drop-outs were driving me nuts, and I lived with it waaaaay waaaaay tooo long. I find it curious that the video was not an issue (Intermittent audio loss was regardless of dolby digital [any flavor] or two channel stereo). AMAZING how nice it is when things suddenly work the way they're supposed to.

1.0 out of 5 stars Video blanks out constantly with HDCP Warnings
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 9, 2023
Number of Items: 3Color: BlackSize: 3 FeetVerified Purchase
These cables worked just long enough to where I can't return them now. Now all three of them constantly blank out my TV every 5-10 minutes and cause HDCP errors. I have no issues with any of my other cables. There's literally no reason these should not have a 3 year warranty on them. There's no point in an exchange, because if all 3 of them quit working, the next batch I get won't work either.

1.0 out of 5 stars I'm not happy.
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 16, 2016
Number of Items: 2Color: BlackSize: 10 FeetVerified Purchase
I'm big into the latest and greatest technology but I don't always understand it. I'll tell you in my laymen's terms that these are garbage. I researched and figured we were saving money and that these were the latest and greatest. We just bought a 4K OLED tv and realized our current cables weren't high speed so I needed new ones. I bought these and hooked them up. I think we've had them a month and we were playing with our son on the PS4 and accused him of sitting on the tv remote because in the middle of a game the screen just went blank and acted like nothing was hooked up to the HDMI. This happened 3 more times in the same day and finally my husband switched out the HDMI cable after we realized no one was sitting on the remote. Obviously these are basically worthless if they only work for month. Getting returned and not sure what to buy now because I hate having to research things. I was really hopeful with the great price and reviews though.

Update: I completely forgot to return these hunks of trash and they got shoved into a box of cables. Totally forgot about them. Fast forward a few years and we got a new Apple TV 4K. Hooked it all up and it worked fine for one day. Second day the screen flickered once in a while. Then it got more and more steady. VERY annoying, thought maybe it was the Apple TV, troubleshooted, still had the issue. After about 20 minutes the screen started straight up flickering black and gray and there was no picture at all. Reset everything, unplugged and replugged in everything and it was fine. 20 minutes later same crap again. Figured maybe it was the HDMI cable and swapped it out for a different brand. NO issues. Came on here to review and saw that I already had. I’ve had these just sitting in a box for like 4 years. They are complete garbage. I deeply regret not returning them. No idea why I didn’t.

Should have paid attention to measurements before ordering. Cord from DVD/VCR could not reach TV. DVD/VCR player ON dresser directly under TV. Disappointed but not worth returning.

It does not fit into the HDMI port in the Nintendo switch or the TV well. It ended up breaking my HDMI port on the Switch. Now I have to spend a bit over 60 dollars to replace it.

This was a used HDMI cable. I should have known better. It transmits no signal at all, but the ones I already own transmitted perfectly on the exact same devices. Took to Kohls for return, then a UPS storefront, but they couldn't handle the return. Wound up paying more in gas trying to return this dead cable cost, so just gave up.

The HDMI cable plug was unfortunately too large for the input plug on my Hisense TV. I have no idea if my TV or thE HDMI cord was inappropriately manufactured, but I needed to use black adhesive tape to secure the plug into the HDMI port.
