Seems to be a cheap name branded hdmi cable, ships and sold from amazon AU, cheapest price on Camel
CamelCamelCamel.
Would prefer this one which a bit more expensive, but certified.

Actually Ugreen is 5 cents cheaper than this deal 😂
ATM its for $16.77 for 2 meters which means $4.19 per 0.5m. So 1.5m is $12.57
Yeah it all depends if you need the 50cm extra or not :P
Especially when you need extra cable to conceal behind the wall.
Thanks, I don't know what that means but I cancelled OP's and got that instead.. 😅
Is the crest HDMI 2.1?
Yeah should be based on the spec

@EpicSpaceLord - No, because HDMI cables aren’t referred to as 2.1 or any other HDMI version, that’s a hardware spec, the cables are certified based on their speed performance and capability.
OK, I'm nerding out a little about HDMI standards here, so please pass on by if you don't care!
No, it's not HDMI 2.1 (because it doesn't have any active components that need that marking), and it doesn't have official "Ultra High Speed" certification, so they can talk all they like about "designed to deliver bandwidth up to 48Gbps" but unless it's been tested officially, that's just words. Tests cost money, certification costs money, so a lot of "smaller" brands use cop-out language like "designed to" or "up to" or "ready for the latest 8K formats" and so on.
However, in the real world, just about any HDMI cable of decent build quality under 2-3m is likely to be able to handle 48Gbps signals. I've got 15yr-old 2m HDMI cables that pass 48Gbps tests without a problem.
Crest are NOT on the official HDMI adopter list (https://hdmi.org/adopter/enforcement), but you'll notice that a lot of big-name HDMI brands are also not on there. That's mostly because they don't make their own leads, instead they get re-branded from the original HDMI adopter manufacturer.
So, should you buy it? It's probably fine, but hang onto your invoice if it doesn't work between your 8K player and screen (for the few dozen of you that have those things!).
Good advice. I went through 4 or 5 HDMI cables from Amazon from reputable brands that claimed 4K@120Hz before finding ones that worked on my set up (LG C3, RTX3090, 4K@120Hz). Lucky the refund process from Amazon was smooth. FWIW - I ended up with the certified ones from UGreen (note: not all their HDMI cables are certified).
HDMI 2.1 but only 60Hz?
Yea was thinking, if it's HDMI 2.1 shouldn't it be 4k @120hz
8k @60hz but all 2.1 is 4k @120hz
So when will 8k budget tv come out for $<500 😂
about 5-10 years, depends on how far real virtual reality comes to us in that time, might make all tvs obsolete.
From what i have been told, Phillips isnt the same as it once was. I think they may have gotten bought out and became a lower quality brand.
They weren't bought out. They sold their consumer electronics arm to focus on healthcare/personal health business and products. But you are right, no idea what the quality of the products are like that are still using the Philips name.
Their TV quality is low and cheap these days which is such a shame as when plasmas first came out, they were one of the best if not the best.
"with Dynamic HDR" lmao
Listed like it's a feature of the cable 😂
I was thinking this too. It just needs to say tested/certified to HDMI v2.1 and that’s it. If it carries the data rate per the standard then all the other stuff will work too. I guess not everyone knows about this stuff.
For those lookung for thin and flexible I can vouch for these, diameter is ~3mm:-
For anyone wondering, it's 1.5m as per Item Model Number (SWV9015/10) & Review.
