HDMI and video cables

The Linx HDMI cable looks the part and has something of an upmarket feel but it isn't great value

Cheap but the Gembird's only worth buying if you don't have a freebie cable already or if you need a longer length cable

Brilliant way to spend £5 – this cable will improve both pictures and sound

Get past the name and the looks and this Wireworld does an admirable job, although we'd like more low frequency punch

One of the best cables we've seen for a while, this Chord Company HDMI has amazing sonic impact and capability

It's well built, looks good and has a confident, classy sound that's coupled with impressive image handling

It might not be the best under £50, but the Philex Thor is a gutsy, solid and well built HDMI cable

It may look eyecatching, but this 1.4 toting Chord Company HDMI cable also has the ability to do the job, with punchy sound and crisp-edged images

Typical van den Hul quality from a hinged HDMI cable that doesn't actively enjoy falling out of its socket

It's a step above the budget cables in price, but not so much in quality
