And still going strong.
There are countless HDMI cables on the market that range in price from “jeeeeze” to “OMG?”
Going through each brand and cable isn’t necessary, as there are only two claims these cables make to justify their prices, and both are easily refuted.
1. Better picture and/or sound quality. This isn’t possible. The only way one cable could make your content look or sound better than another cable is if one of them changed the data flowing across them. If any of the data going across somehow gets changed, the only two possible results at the TV end are sparkles (a pixel dropping out, quite noticeable) or the entire image dropping out. It can’t look sharper (or softer), brighter (or dimmer), more colorful (or muted).
This would mean huge aspects of the image have changed, and HDMI cables just don’t work like that.
Over longer runs, the signal can degrade, but that doesn’t mean the image degrades. There is no correlation between signal quality and picture quality. This is not analog. That isn’t how HDMI cables work. The image will look perfect, regardless of the signal strength, up to the point where dropouts or sparkles happen.
After that, there’s nothing. Before that is perfect.
There are people all over the Internet who claim to have seen huge improvements after switching to expensive HDMI cables. Objectively, this isn’t possible. There are any number of possibilities regarding what’s going on (different settings, confirmation bias, HDMI cable company employees, et cetera).
2. Better made. The other common boast is that more expensive HDMI cables are better made, implying they’ll last longer. Whether this is true is actually pretty irrelevant.
Even if that weren’t true, and let’s say for some reason the $6 HDMI cable you buy lasts only two years (it will likely last longer) and you need to replace it. So you’ve spent $6. How is a $100 HDMI cable that lasts four years a better deal?
“So, does a $10 HDMI cable make your system look or sound different from a $100 or $1,000 cable? The short answer is, ‘Absolutely not.’”
Audioholics did a massive article a few years ago, testing long HDMI cables.
Some advice there is a touch dated, but the core of the science is still sound. “I have to come away saying that most cables under 4-5 meters will pass just about anything in today’s arsenal of 1080p.” Or if you prefer a shorter, more succinct version, look to the more recent The Truth vs Hype about Expensive HDMI Cables: “So, does a $10 HDMI cable make your system look or sound different from a $100 or $1,000 cable?
The long and the short answer is, "NO.’”
Expertreviews.com: "Expensive HDMI cables make no difference—the absolute proof is a great article with some awesomely extensive objective testing: “After methodically testing each cable, our comprehensive results revealed the truth. We couldn’t find a single error in any of the frames of video we captured using our tests, regardless of the cable we used. Even allowing for a single error per billion bits, none of our captured frames contained as much as a single pixel out of order by a single colour shade.”
Tested Mag: The Difference Between Cheap and Expensive HDMI Cables: “As should be abundantly clear, expensive HDMI cables are simply not worth purchasing for normal use. In the case that you are running cable in a permanent fashion through walls or ceilings, it may be prudent to spend a little extra for heavier-duty cables for the sake of longevity, but if you’re spending extra on gold-plated connectors and the like, you are doing little more than embedding hard-earned cash in the walls of your home.”
Eurogamer: “The conclusion is that you can run any HDMI cable—no matter how cheap—and get identical results.” And also, “The important thing to point out is that there is no real parallel with the world of analogue cables.”
Here’s a reference in Popular Mechanics in Brand-Name HDMI Cables: Are They Worth It?: “The fact is, HDMI is digital, meaning you either get the feed or you don’t. High prices and gimmicks like gold-plating don’t affect 1s and 0s. Our advice: Purchase your wiring online for cheap, and use the saved money to upgrade to a larger flat screen.”
The fact is, below 50 feet, performance is going to be a LOT more uniform. In other words, you’ll have more cables that will work on everything. As such, it’s even more likely that a cheap cable will perform the same as their more expensive counterparts.
At short distances (under 10 feet), like we’ve always said, there’s not going to be any difference.”

Conclusion:
There is no reason to spend more money on basic HDMI cables.
Again, there is no reason to spend more money on basic HDMI cables. For longer runs, the Link Depot HDMI Cable works great.

Without ARC, the audio output from the TV must be routed by another cable, typically TOSLink or coax, into the speaker system
