HDMI KING- 1.8M Imperial Series HDMI KING v1.3c 240hz+ HDMI Cable- Gold Plated, Double Insulated
Being a bit of an audiophile and a bit obsessive about the quality of my gaming experiences, I was hesitant at first to buy such a cheap lead. I had broken my current HDMI cable and needed a quick fix, and thought these would do until I could afford a more expensive one.
However, I can safely say that these cables are at least the same quality as the HDMI cable I paid £25 for, in fact they may be a little better!
I would advise anyone, no matter how much the quality of leads matters to you, to buy these. No need to look at any others on Amazon, or anywhere else. By finding this product you have found what you are looking for – A good quality HDMI cable, and at a price that I almost feel guilty for.
For £3.00 delivered, these are an absoloute bargain. A lead of this quality would set you back about £20-£30 pounds in high street stores.
Fantastic.

These are my experiences and benefits with using this cable.
It is well known that high street shops are selling HDMI cables at 1000% real market value, I recently went into PCworld only to find a “similar” product was selling for £79.99!! I am not exaggerating at all, however to add insult to injury if you had purchased that product, the cables sheathing was only rubber! For PC world to push a sale on that would mean a round for everyone in the whole pub and still make a profit off the cable. Its disgusting how retailers get away with such prices, however I guess we can all say if you are delving into HDMI you’d expect to at least be up to date and have the internet, therefore only a fool wouldn’t compare prices over the net. So yes this cable is outrageously cheap compared to retail shops, however not the cheapest on amazon nor online. Worth the money…
Next I would like to comment about the length. Although the cable is 1.8m long and it is infact that actual length for me. The only “issue” I have noticed is that due to the sheathing being so tough and resistant to flexing that you have to make large curves in your cable when connecting. I use my laptop HDMI output on the left to a HDMI port on the back of my TV. The side port requires a good 5cm only which isn’t bad at all but the cable hangs on its own weight. However going into the back of the monitor the cable needs a good 5cm of cable plus the 4cm or so for the actual socket head. It is one of my only negatives about this, however it just shows how tough the cable is. Once it is seated in place and might I add that the connection fits snuggly, none of this falls out when someone opens the door to the room. Finally for negatives, around the socket head there is a tiny bit of fraying on the nylon braiding. Nothing serious no issues really with that, I imagine its something to expect on most tough braiding. If we were to look for one improvement I would say to put a thin layer of transparent rubber around the outside to seal in the braiding for extra durability.
Signal transmission is astounding for the price I’ve paid, comparing this on other cables my friend has whom has fallen into the extortionately priced deals at high street shops there is no difference, in fact this cable might just be clinching the better picture quality, Durablity and definately price!
Overall if you’re spending £100’s on a new Monitor/TV for specific HDMI viewing do what I did… look around, I have this paired up with a Samsung 22″ P2270HD monitor excellent combination! Don’t fall into this silly trap and ideas of people that if you pay high prices for a TV/Stereo pay high prices on cables. Cables aren’t expensive to make and therefore shouldn’t be 1/3 the price of your TV.
Thank you for reading and Goodnight!
P.S I recommend you buy this product

Couldn’t be happier. No problems experienced with this cable. It’s made well, very flexible, perfect length with enough room to move and most of all it works! People can get bogged down in buying cables but believe me most of it is marketing.

I’ve needed a few HDMIs for all my devices like my Sky box and DVD player, so I’ve have the opportunity to try a few out. This HDMI King Imperial series lead is the best value on amazon. The build quality is top notch, and it looks pretty cool as well. For just a few quid more than the other, entry level cables, you get a 5 star cable.

For the price of these cables how could you not buy these. The quality is just like the one a bought at the stores for 5 times the price I highly recommend these for anybody who wants a great lead for a great price.
