The problem with bad quality hdmi or any cables isn't about just lost signal intermittent signal.
It can potentially fried your display devices over the time unknowingly. Leading users to be conceived that it's a brand issue.

No doubt, it can definitely throw at all the resolution u wanted it to perform on your LCD .
I'm talking about how fast your LCD died out in just mere 1-3 years randomly.

And this happens across all price range of cables that came from Taobao. Not to mention shopee sellers source from taobao as well.
There's no quality control over the cables. As according to china's manufacturer standard, as long as the cable able to output high resolution according to top specs, it's a premium quality. Whatever damage that can potentially damage the device is not a concern to these cable manufacturers in china. You can't possibly tell or know how these cables dmg your devices over time.

Which is why i'm checking into here to see if anyone had any brands that's reliable.
Yes i'm aware that most cables are from taobao. Though there are some that do have strict QC control over their product.

Paying RM100 over for a hdmi or displayport that's only 3m is just a ripped off in my point of view.
