Customer feedback is mixed on basic operation and image quality, including reports of working output as well as failure to work or show a picture. That matters for this cable because its intended use depends on a successful HDMI signal path. The listing claims up to 480p, but that specification does not resolve the reported variation in results.
Mixed feedback
- Customers report conflicting experiences with whether the cable works and whether an image appears.
