Can anyone recommend some decent 3m 2.0 items please?

Cheers

Amazons own brand.

Ditto Amazon. "Basics" I think. Few quid, no more.

I also have a few from another firm that come in at a similar price rated "High Speed" and work fine with 4k but postage is a lot compared to Amazon.

Though there is a new HDMI spec out soon (not the cables).

I have the Amazon Basics "High Speed" running 4k 4:2:2 10 bit (Apple Tv at 60hz HDR as well). Not tried the "premium" as the "High speed" work just fine for me.

I bought the High Speed rated cables before clocking the Premium rated, however, as the high speed work fine I left it as is. That is for my set up. 2 meters max and no sharp bends.


Edit. Had I spotted these first I might have got them.

Not for the original price though?

Edit 2. Should have asked what is being connected.

the blacks are so much more vivid on my monster HDMI cable.

How do you know what type of HDMI cable you have?

Would you notice stuttering with 4K footage?

[jmorgan]

I know mine are “high speed” cos it’s written on them however, it will work, or it will not. Sort of.

I had an old slower speed cable (no markings) and 4k was stuttering on the 4k Blu-ray player and no picture on the bt uhd box. Probably other issues visible, depending. White line flashing, pixelation etc.
