Like AmazonBasics, Monoprice is also an e-commerce brand attached to Amazon, mainly selling consumer products such as electronics, network cables, 3D printers and audio, and is currently the best-selling brand in Amazon's HDMI cables. In the wirecutter review, Monoprice and AmazonBasics tied for the top spot, with the same level of performance. Most of the top HDMI brands will indicate the HDMI version, and Monoprice does not specify it, but its indicated 18Gbps transfer rate also meets the HDMI 2.0 standard.
Monoprice's products can be divided according to the softness of the three levels of high, medium and low, and each cable has passed a separate test, with 18Gbps bandwidth and a high level of anti-interference ability. The cable is softer and easier to bend, making it more suitable for home improvement projects than AmazonBasics. Since the home improvement engineering line usually needs to be buried in the wall, it is very important whether the product buried in the wall can withstand long-term use. The Monoprice Certified Premium HDMI cable is an excellent product recommended by the wirecutter, which is available in lengths from 1 to 7.5 meters, is thicker than AmazonBasics, and has a larger cable diameter and is moderately soft.
For short-distance transmission, Monoprice also launched the Ultra Slim advanced certified high-speed HDMI cable, whose 0.3m version is priced at 75 yuan, which is more expensive, but has a softer and thinner body. The DynamicView Active high-speed HDMI cable is designed for users who need to transmit long distances, and is available in lengths from 3 to 18 meters.
It should be noted that the HDMI cable used in the buried wall home decoration project must consider the problem of future replacement. Judging from the information provided by Monoprice at present, the HDMI version it continues to use is2.0, this version is enough in today's 4K TV popularization in the home field, at least 3 years without worrying about the replacement problem. The performance of HDMI 2.1 is undoubtedly stronger, but the transmission capacity supported by 2.1 is not popular, and it is recommended that ordinary household consumers choose 2.0.
Monoprice is currently available for purchase through overseas shopping, and Amazon China also provides overseas purchase business, and the product is shipped and taxes are more than 100 yuan, and the longer the cable, the more expensive the price. In terms of warranty, Monoprice has a 30-day free replacement service, official life-long technical support, and a 1-year free warranty, but Amazon is responsible for it, so you need to pay attention to the shipping timeliness.
