Comment Sometimes minimum quality or conformity needed (Score 1) 1
Having bought a 7m HDMI cable unable to reliably transmit in 1080p and causing purple/green pixels on some places with evident bit code loss/drops.
The cable diameter was quite thin and my guess is, it was not up to specs for that length.
Finally I had to buy another one 1.3 certified this time and noticeably thicker.
On personal experience is not enough facts to build evidence. By the way, I am certain some non-conform material sub-standard piece of cram get in the stores as well as the over-priced golden hype ones. If on has to buy several low price crap before stumbling on a good one, this is sure too pricey as well.
