Compatibility and Functionality
Pros:
"Now i can play/stream with my smart tv on and be watching chat and its easier to read and easier to react to since i can see it out of the corner of my eye."
"They look/feel like a well made, high-quality cable and perform just as well as the much more expensive brands I've used in the past."
"This product though never sleeps which is excellent! I recommend to anyone."
"It allows you to connect a display port out to a HDMI input, but is not bi-directional, so, does not work with an HDMI output attempting to drive a DisplayPort input."
"Picture quality is great and haven't experienced any signal loss using this cable and connection issues."
"Can't go wrong with AmazonBasics. Super reliable."
"If you have an older monitor(HDMI output to Displayport that goes into the GPU) this product is a godsend."
Cons:
"If you have a 144hz moniter and a powerful computer the cable def bottlenecks the performance."
"Trying to connect my laptop with monitor, my laptop only has hdmi port and monitor only has dp port. This cable does not connect them, there is no signal."
"This cable will only allow me to use resolutions 1080p or lower."
"I bought this to connect a desktop DP side to a Monitor HDMI side as it should run that direction, and it does not detect the Desktop."
"I HAD A RENEWED DELL OPTIPLEX PC WITH A VIEWSONIC NEW MONITOR... THIS CABLE FIXED ALL MY PROBLEMS, I GET CRYSTAL CLARITY AND VERY HIGH DEFINITION WITH GOOD FPS ON GAMES LIKE GTAV."
"The delivery person did NOT hand it to me--that's a flat-out lie."
"Now, it causes my monitor to flicker black or makes my screen turns grey like dead pixels."
Quality and Durability
Pros:
"Cable quality is good, probably not bulletproof but given the pricepoint its everything you could ask for."
"Solid quality and can't beat the price, so these are great for basic connectivity needs."
"It works just as well as more expensive cables, of which we have quite a few."
"The cable is also made of high-quality materials, ensuring that it's durable and long-lasting."
"The cable's connectors are gold-plated, which helps to prevent corrosion and improve the quality of the connection."
"Sturdy cable built, I saw a leap of improvement in display, crispness of image and clarity, as I switched my earlier HDMI cables with these."
"The durable build and reliable connections ensure that this cable will last for countless uses to come."
Cons:
"I might have just gotten a bad cable? I ended up using the DVI port for a second monitor."
"The build quality is fine, but there may be signal integrity issues as when pushing the cable to the specced limit, my display had a habit of occasionally dropping out."
"These seemed okay at first but after the first day it would take over 30 minutes to turn on my computer and have both monitors work."
"The cable itself is alright, it's not a super expensive cable to begin with so in total its good. Only bad thing is that it is not that durable and is prone to damage to the cable."
"The cable randomly stopped working a couple days ago, however, so the quality and value don't seem to be great."
"I bought two cords. One works perfectly but the other shows a gray screen about half the time."
"The only thing bad about this cable is it's sleeving. it's loose, vinyl and bad smelling, just low quality all around."
Customer Service and Shipping
Pros:
"Had the option for overnight shipping, and chose it. Product shipped out the same day of ordering it. I did not get it overnight. Glad I wasted the extra money."
"Submit return, and Amazon just gave a full refund. Given 4 star for the service."
"I keep this in my laptop case and have used it multiple times while on business trips."
"Received 11/25: immediately attached display port to Dell docking station, HDMI to monitors and it worked."
"Considering I got 3 years out of an $10 cable I can't complain and will be purchasing another."
"I needed this for a TV in my office that only had HDMI inputs. My computer only has displayport outputs. I hooked it up and the desktop automatically extended."
"Purchased a few of these to connect an Apple TV, Nintendo Switch, and Playstation 5 to my 4K television as I had very old non-high speed cables."
Cons:
"Just received the product. It was as easy as plugging it in and switching inputs. It immediately worked without any issues."
"I ordered two of these leads and neither of them worked. I got some more expensive ones and they worked perfectly, so the Amazon leads were at fault."
"Also worth mentioning, I saw no warranty information on the product page and I contacted Amazon about the issue through chat."
"I’ve never really had issues w/ Amazon cables, but these definitely didn’t work with the 20+ LG and AOC monitors."
"After pointing this out and going back and forth for much longer than should have been necessary they were finally able to inform me that the cable had a 1 year warranty and because that timeframe had passed they could not offer any other assistance."
"The Amazon returns system is brilliant however, so there wasn't a big headache in the end."
"I am just past the 30 days since I bought this, I think it's been around 40 days and one of the two cords I bought is already not working and the second one is spotty."
