What is it's official HDMI rating? High Speed? What?

Since 2012 there should be one of these on ads and packaging ...

If not then you don't really know if it's up to at least the minimum HDMI technical standards. (Most 'frou-frou' or boutique cables aren't.)

Gold plating is only necessary in places like salt mines or trawlers.

I think it's just 1.3 HDMI, probably best to avoid then unless it will do the job.

No such thing (its only used in the marketing of cable sellers).

As chebby mentions they should be rated as either 'Standard' or 'High Speed'

Still from £69 to a fiver it's got to be a bargain...... hasn't it?? :)

Certainly sounds very frou-frou to me.

I recently got 3 good quality 1.5m 'High Speed' certified cables for £4.50 off Amazon

I am not sure then, could give them a ring to see or just buy elsewhere like Dave.

Regardless of gold plating, HDMI will not give color accuracy like 24+1 DVI-D will. Although color accuracy doesn't matter much on a TV I reckon.
