haha...enough of this trash talk...

the truth is, maybe I wont sell my hdmi cable after all cause it reminds me of something valueble in life which is, do a lot of research on the things that u hardly know of, and don't just believe anything that's written on the brochure.

I'm having problems view my laptop using my LCD TV. I connect them using a HDMI cable bought from Play-Asia.

The problem is, the signal gets lost frequenty, means that the TV screen will go blank at times..

Any idea whats the problem? My guess is the cable problem..

may be the contact is causing the problem, just reseat the plug on both cable ends

or change to another hdmi cable, tesco's hdml cable only cost you RM10(not sure still avalable or not)

i think either cheap or expensive HDMI cable, it is just the same...

I have tried those really cheap HDMI cables (RM25) and having troubles getting clean signal to my LCD monitor.
After changing another new HDMI (RM55) cable and problem solved.
So avoid those really cheap ones....

this is truly a long topic..

just pick cable which suits your budget
spend wisely and choose something with quality

Out of curiosity, I picked up the Techika HDMI cable in Tesco for RM10. Just did a quick test, it passes 1080p/24, HD audio bitstream, xvYCC, 12-bit to my Denon AVR flawlessly. In short, there are no differences with my other higher priced HDMI cables.

which tesco you got it from?

got a few from local tesco store, excellent value
may be next time will get a carton load, and resell it at pasar malam for good profit

Do you think most people who come to pasar malam know what is HDMI cable ...
because I have saw pasar malam at my area sell S-video cable (gold plated one, but so so cheap, i think China made, only RM8).., but anybody seems not so interested on it....

I tried Tesco Ampang , dont have it, and they informed to find it in Tesco Extra Cheras, i went all the way, they ask me to check at Tesco Ampang, and i said "FO" u people, they dont even check and let the customers know where stocks available, lazy bunch of girls and guys working in the CS counter

wow hot item selling like hot cake in KL, plenty of stock are available in penang tesco stores, apparently no much people up north are interested in cheap HDMI cable

Yup, they just restocked Tesco in Penang. Some more now at 50% off.

Was thinking of getting 3 more as spares since so cheap.

or maybe the place where i live are more rural than your place...
I live in Kampung only, where CRT TV still dominate much home here....
and some people have big Plasma/LCD at their home, but still connect their LCD with COMPOSITE cable...

aiyor.. tesco pg ka.. so far...

pasar road also sell for rm15 or something...works well too

I have seen Techika HDMI cable in Tesco E-gate selling for RM19.90 but yet to see one with the Tesco label.

technika is tesco's brand LOL

I think a lot of you are getting out of topic. We are talking about 'Quality'. When you have snow or other artifacts, means your cable is BROKEN. What we are comparing the QUALITY between cheap and expensive cables...basically there is NO DIFFERENCE, if you get two WORKING cable of different price. I have tons of cheap cables and they work just fine. It's your bad luck you got yourself a broken cable. Can happen whether it's cheap or expensive. (which in case, you should return it to the seller for an exchange).

so cheap? i bought it at RM19.90 @ tesco curve, so far so good, no prob...dont feel any diff

abit off topic, btw, guys...u all know where to buy cheap/good OPTICAL CABLE?
