They do the job perfectly, and both the sound and picture quality are far better than the premium cables used originally. They also have more flexibility, allowing the very lightweight splitter to remain securely placed on the equipment furniture. Overall, I consider these an excellent purchase, and they were dispatched promptly by Future Shop.
The sound is amazing coming out through my QLED 43-inch Toshiba TV. It's capable of everything in the specification. What it says about this AOC is that it is much better than the other HDMI cables. These new AOC HDMI cables are very thin and flexible, and they say they are good for longer distances. It's my first time buying one of these myself.
I'm going to be getting another one to connect to my Ultra HD Blu-ray DVD player to connect to my QLED Toshiba TV 43-inch.
I would say buy with confidence, people —it's amazing; it beats all those other HDMI cables out there hands down. Well done, the Chord Clearway company. I received my parcel delivery from Future Shop, which I ordered from. DHL delivered it with care.
Once again, thank you.
Mr Glyn Hall.
I just received the above parcel today via Future Shop, delivered by DHL eCommerce UK on 8/10/2025. The parcel was delivered with care to my home address. I've just unpacked the new cable to have a look at it, and it's the same Quality.
I haven't hooked it up yet to my TV, but I know it's going to sound brilliant just like the Shawline, so I will see later on.
Once again, thank you, Future Shop, for your great products that you sell on your website to all your customers around the world.
No handshake issues.
Great offer as an ex-demo 3m product.
I am very happy with it.
