Just using the internet then got some insite link from another deal. Then found the cheap HDMIs. I bought 4 yesterday and tried them out and they were really good. They are around a metre and a half so just reaching between my ps4 and TV and don’t have too much slack and loops like you do with the 10 meter cables.

Also when I used this cable for Call of Duty on the ps4 the games instantly ran in 1080P through the cables giving 1080p on my screen. My friend used another 6 meter cable for his Xbox1 Call of Duty but the cable could only do 720p so his screen only gave him 720p.

Now there seems to be some confusion on the 1080/720p stuff so I just asked my friend. He was not 100% sure but it could be possible he got a cheap HDMI that only could pump 720 Ps. I can confirm these dicksmith ones pumps 1,080 of these Ps to my TV. Also maybe my friends’ cable was too long (6 meters) so as the Ps travelled through the cable the loss of data deteriorated some of the Ps with lost heat. That’s why you should get short cables.

    ahhh umm wtf? HDMI cables don't have anything to do with 720 vs. 1080. and $5 isn't that cheap for a 1.5m cable. MSY have a 2m for $3 atm. http://www.msy.com.au/images/ADbanner/eletter/02122013/onlin…

      Yeah, wasn't sure if suicine was joking or not about the 720p stuff :)

    Seems to be some inconsistency here - if it is an online only deal how did you buy 4 and try them out the same day when they are only available for home delivery???

    Also, I have never paid more than $2.60 for a 1.5m HDMI cable.

    • suicine94 on 05/12/2013 - 10:14

      I ordered then printed the confirmation. Then I took it down to dicksmith. I got a ps4 a few days back so I needed the cable urgently so the staff helped me out.

      I paid $5 each for these cables and they a working great. I dont know why i'm getting negativitied.

    Frequently can get 1 - 2m cables on various sites for around $1 - $2 with free shipping
    Almost every week there's a new deal here

    Terrible deal especially with the dodgy 87.5% off

    $5 for 1.5M? Hell… I can pay $1.50 each for those, as long as I'm willing to wait! That's a mark-up over my price of over 300%!

      with the new consoles that just came out last week people a desparatly wanting these cables because unlike the ps3 they dont take the yellow/red/white cables anymore so maybe HDMI will sell out soon. also no one wants to wait to save $2 when they just spent over $500 on a brand new console. the $2 premium for the ability not to wait isworth it since YOLO.

        Who doesn't have at least one HDMI cable floating around? I have at least five here

    Poor Learner. Should have called yourself 'suicide' rather than 'suicine'.

    My concern is how you managed to lose the 6ft HDMI cable that came WITH the console.

    haha, good old suicine. love the Xbone reference(720p).
    every ps4 came with a HDMI cable.

    Suicine94, what is your PSN ID?

    • suicine94 on 05/12/2013 - 22:25

    No kidding.

    so as the Ps travelled through the cable the loss of data deteriorated some of the Ps

    I think the missing P's might be on holiday with some of your I's and Q's.

    You are clearly talking the piss now, yes? That updated description is pure gold.

  • donga100 on 05/12/2013 - 15:03

    Pretty sure this is a troll post but… yeah… not a good price.
