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

[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1075399, member: 176704"] Ah, and so I wonder just how many of those "spare" cables will actually work [I]properly [/I]should you ever need them if the existing ones start to fail [I](which, apparently, they are prone to do "over time")[/I]? - maybe a relatively cheap HDMI cable tester would then make life a lot easier, and far quicker, to get your kit working again? :D. BTW: from what I briefly skimmed on the net, not all HDMI cables are 4k-capable, and so your 4k TV might not work with them ([I]my tester won't check that, so check the cable specs, but, it seems, those can also be misleading - might need another tester in time).[/I] On, the whole, and as an admittedly pretty crap "engineer" in general [I](TBH if I am honest!)[/I], I would far prefer to have kit which will quickly and easily check "stuff" like those cables than struggle to then try to find other ones which do work.:D [/QUOTE]
