It functions as a HDMI cable connecting two HDMI compatible devices, works perfectly. This is my second Amazon basics item, first one being 21-to-1 USB flash memory card reader and it has done a lot of hard work for me since I bought it 5-6 months ago, and is still going very smoothly. I whole-heartedly recommend them to anyone, don't be put off from buying becuase they appear cheap, they are 'smartly cheap' since they are produced to serve the mass market.
Few more words, it is an HDMI 1.4 spec cable, means it has ethernet channel capability enabled. There are only few manufacturers out there in the market with devices/equipments (for e.g LCD TV) that currently supports HDMI Ethernet Channel functionality. I could write a long essay, but put it simply, if your TV is internet enabled via USB/Wifi or using an Ethernet(RJ45) cable, most likely you will *not* be able to watch streaming videos from internet on TV using this cable, even via a PC. Please check with manufacturer for "HEC" (HDMI Ethernet Channel) label on the device's HDMI ports, which means, the same HDMI port is enabled to communicate as an ethernet port too. I hope this review is not too technical and helps someone to understand what it really means.
