Great price for a 3M 8K HDMI cable, but it's an INSANE price for a HDMI 2.1 certified one, which this is! Selling online elsewhere for $55-60 for identical item.

As reference, this previously popular deal posted for same cable type, $14 for 1.5m, 3m for $24 in the comments of this thread
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/703370

If you don't have access to TGG Commerical, gain access by joining Rest Super for free and have no balance (EDIT: comments below suggest there are fees even if you have zero balance @$78 per year. This hasn't been the case for me. Can others confirm? Elsewhere on OzBargain, I have seen someone suggest closing your account but never logging out and perks remain, so YMMV)
https://rest.com.au/why-rest/rewards

If you can't be bothered joining Rest Super, the cable is available through regular TGG for $15 which is still ridiculous cheap for certified 3M

TGG page doesn't say certified, but the Crest website shows certified when you scroll down to the bottom specs. Same product code

    I remember when HDMI first came out people ridiculed brands like MONSTER having "high quality" HDMI cables. Now here we are.

      HDMI cables either work or they dont. But it doesnt mean there arent limitations to how much data the cheaper ones can carry.

      • MagnamoniousRex on 15/08/2023 - 19:52

        Yep and every generation the useful length of passive cables gets shorter too.

    Got 2, but unsure why, might get an 8k something in like 5 to 10 years.

    • Maq on 15/08/2023 - 14:43

      Same here, although to be on the safe side where I may not ever use it, I only bought one.

    • ATangk on 15/08/2023 - 14:45

      My only justification would be that its cheaper than a regular 3M HDMI cable, but devices usually come with their own and I already have an optic fibre HDMI 2.1 cable, so I'll pass on this. Otherwise, if you need a spare HDMI cable, its a good deal for sure.

      It's more for gaming IMO. VRR, ALLM, 120Hz @ 4K, etc.

      All of those features are used by current gen game consoles (i.e. Xbox Series S/X) and many TVs, like my 2021 higher-end Samsung.

      And yes 120 fps makes a huge difference in games, and also enables things like 40fps in games that struggle to get to 60fps.

        would you still get charged admin fee?

        Administration fees and costs $1.50 per week $78 regardless of your balance

        • AwesomeAndrew on 15/08/2023 - 15:12

          And if your account balance is less than $6,000, certain fees and costs charged to you in relation to administration and investment are capped at 3% of your account balance for the year (or the period until you left).

          Look carefully at the page you linked

            @AwesomeAndrew: It clearly states "$78 regardless of your balance".
            So I am guessing with $0 balance, they would charge $78 per year ?

      I said it's $15 in the title and post, which is already great value. They're $55-60 elsewhere. For $6, that's 60% off alone from TGG. Not sure how much more you want to save? Really odd comment lol

  • currentfad on 15/08/2023 - 15:29

    This has been the most complete garbage of a checkout experience. 3 different cards have shown the 3D secure and verification code page, acts like processing and then just takes me back to the checkout page. Then tried Paypal, Paypal says I have been charged, but again the Good Guys page acts like not processed and takes me back to checkout page and no order history. And this is for delivery and continues to show delivery as option. What garbage.

    Anyone having similar problems?

            @congo: Just checked my Rest account, I haven't been charged anything. I signed up in July 2022 and gave hardly any details. Not sure how they're meant to charge. I think you only get charged if you begin using their actual superannuation product and yoy will get charged still if your balance gets transferred out.

            • congo on 15/08/2023 - 22:34

    For what it's worth, I have a couple of 3M variants from the last time this was on special - and both have occasional signal dropouts when gaming at 4K60 from a PC. I replaced with https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B081NXV3ZR and the dropouts are now fixed. The CableMatters cables are quite a lot less bulky too, and the smaller and lighter connectors are much nicer to work with around the back of a crowded Receiver !

    • netsurfer on 16/08/2023 - 22:55
      +1

      Did you get the 3m version of the CableMatters cables? I have the 2m version. 2m ones are not the same as 3m ones. At 3m, better wires need to be used, otherwise signal dropouts will happen.

      Wish I knew these ones are not reliable (I thought these would have decent wires inside). Oh well, another FOMO purchase gone wrong. Haven't received them, on back order.

      I wish you posted this earlier! I bought mine specifically for 4k120hz. If it drops out at 4k60hz, I don't think I stand a chance these will work without a hitch.

      To all those who bought, as the OP, I deeply apologise for my excitement in posting this and I will attempt seppuku using the end of the HDMI cables.

      • Nom on 17/08/2023 - 12:40

        I also use the same cables for 4K60 from a couple of other devices with no issue. It was specifically that one PC that they didn't like, for whatever reason.

        Just flagging my experience, you'll probably be fine 😁

      • phor8 on 17/08/2023 - 18:22

          You won't have any difficulty getting a refund. Just a pain in the a. For people to have to go into a store or repackage and send off if they do have problems. Not sharing they will definitely have problems, just unfortunate if they do and it's all my fault.
