Yeah..they are good, but seems like each time i go to Tesco seems like the stock very low or out of stock, I think lotsa ppl buying it.

You bet, if you go Tesco, no need to wait for it to come down to RM9.90, RM19.90 is a steal oledi...grab it fast.

Yes, of course.

I wanna say cheapo HDMI are top of this world, but reality is some cables do fail 12bit test

Easy..just go to Tesco to get their Technika (or something like that) HDMI cables..for the length of 3m, sure can pass 12 bits.
But freebie HDMI not sure



Monster cable rep must have settled a very big Monster table oledi ..that why so quiet..hehe I think
Just joking

chewkl said he is pumping 12 bits using Tesco cables OK..if he says its OK, means Its OK

Actually, thing abt the DVI to HDMI convertion is it could lead to some unsatisfactory results...sometimes there is banding or letter cannot be seen clearly or oversized view stuff like that.

If i were you, I go to Tesco (hehe..I suddenly love the word 'Tesco'), get a their RM19.90 HDMI cable...and then get an adapter for it...so just in case you dun like the results, you can still use the HDMI cables for something else.

No there is no difference between DVI straight to HDMI or using HDMI with a DVI converter....only thing is the computer used might be able to pump HD using its DVI, but results can vary.
I've got a few friends that went out to buy a DVI-HDMI cable only to find out the computer doesn't give them satisfactory results...I myself have a DVI-HDMI cable not used because it gives out a slight banding every few seconds.

SO best is to buy a HDMI cable and a DVI converter rather than a DVI-HDMI cable.

This is only advice, follow dun follow up to you...

Yes...thats one of the problems that most will encounter...DVI->HDMI is not really plug and play stuff. But if it work well, than very lucky.
Usually older cards with DVi ports give not so satisfactory results when converted to HDMI.

haha...thats the problem with no brand or freeebies one...you'll never know how it will perform...


Better get the Tesco brand

You guys are mistaken...the giraffe brand is actually cheaper in a sort of way....even at 69 bucks...haha..

Cos when you go in to Tesco, especially with wife and kids, the cost of that RM19.90 is going to be easily Rm200, after you buy all those unnecessary stuff like ice-cream, junk food, nasi lemak, fried chicken, biscuits, toys, cloths etc..hahaha ..trust me

Actually for those that are certified, you can be sure that they perform as it should....no matter what crazy thing they claim it can do that doesn't even effect us.
They can say it has been tested with how many hundreds of Hertz or went through how may KV high voltage test that has no really impact on us...but..frankly speaking...it has been tested and certified that way...so the boasting rights is theirs even if they confuse the buyers or whatever.

But for 'fake', cheapo, or freebie HDMI are for basic HDMI setup...nothing fancy high bit or long length stuff.
Yes, some will work for high bit or long length, but some dun work also...but if works for advance settings, then save a lot of money.

Be aware abt so call blind test, this ppl will bring so call cheapo or freebie cable that has been picked by them that perform as they want...the bad ones of course they leave behind.
A very well performing freebie HDMI cable can be equal to a so called 'High End' cable. But as I say, not all Freebie or Cheapo HDMI are equal in performance or quality standard....same goes to High End cables. Ppl always say Tesco brand very good, well, no doubt abt it. Before tesco brand there was also Carrefour brand that had a failure rate of more than 50%!..it was so bad they had to take it off the shelves...but some still use and so far no probs. Also, some even encounters bad audio from a high end HDMI cable, it was so bad, a cheapo cable gave better sound. Yes, they concept of digital going thru a cable is simple enough...but it doesn't mean 100% of the manufactured stuff or design will work for all HDMI standards or the quality needed.

So end of the day...some will swear that their freebie Panasonic or Pioneer cable (like me..hehe), Tesco brand or no brand HDMI cable is the best in the world, same goes to ppl that swear that that High End Elite brand is all or nothing....but its good to do some homework of what to buy so that we are aware of what we actually want.

Keep..later you might buy a PS3, notebook with HDMI out or whatever...HDMI very common nowadays

Why not try it out with another HDMI cable?

Or just return it to Tesco to exchange for a new technika HDMI, the one you got might be a rare case of faulty..

Yes...thats the one

It is made out of unobtainium.



Ppl have to travel into the unknown and risk their lives to get it.

you should know better..its a never ending story....
