    What price?
    Quality is not a major concern for HDMI cables at that length.

    As HDMI is digital it either works or doesn't. No need to buy expensive cables. The ones for the €2 shops are as good as the €100 ones.

    Have a lidl one and it worked.

    I cant understand people who pay the likes of €50+ for a gold plated/optimised/some other jargon crap HDMI cable. I have tested quite a few of the higher priced cables against my Tesco €3 job and the difference is minimal (if any)
