My $3 shipped 2 meter HDMI I grabbed off ebay has been pretty much awesome. When this one finally dies, I’ll buy 6 more of them so I don’t have the downtime of shipping. Its even got gold plated connectors if I remember correctly, so no oxidation/corrosion risk.
I’ve several times just told people in the electronics section who were looking at HDMI cables to just either get the cheapest one that’s long enough, or buy it online. I’m waiting for the time someone tries to upsell me or a family member on an HDMI cable.
