HDMI cables are supposedly simple and reliable items - but maybe not!

[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1075330, member: 176704"] People sometimes have problems with the cables - and I certainly have had those, especially when connecting through HMDI autoswitches switches (which I need so as to connect various items to a particular monitor). The more complex the connection, the more likely it is that you could run into issues. The issue is that it is very difficult to tell if you have actually got a faulty cable - even after reversing them - because there are so many data, shield and power lines. Far better to check them out when you receive them so you can send back any duff ones PDQ! s. [USER=191372]@scopus[/USER] It's not the tester because I have one or two unused cables that test out 100% whereas a few others, including the 6 that came recently, clearly show that specific connections (generally, but not always, the shield lines) are o/c - something you might never find out and then wonder why some of the HMDI functions don't work/work properly. Thinking back I suspect that upto 50% of those I've received - especially the really cheap ones - had faults [/QUOTE]
