    Make sure you need it, they won't take it back.

    I bought this to go with my new video card because my old card only had one HDMI port, and I have 2 HDMI monitors. Turns out my new card had 2 HDMI ports (should have read the box!) so I didn't need it. But Best Buy refused to accept the return because it was more than 14 days, unless I wanted to spend money on becoming a member. This policy does not make sense for this particular item -- it's their own brand, it is not something that goes out of date, etc. This policy is not typical of the other companies I buy electronics from and I'm honestly disinclined to buy anything from Best Buy again because of it. I was forced to throw away a perfectly good cable due to this terrible policy.

    Only bought this because they only sell good chords at 10' at the store so i grabbed this thinking it would be better if you read the package it says it only supports UHD not 4k. Not a good product for the prices.

    Serves its purpose pretty well, though the cord quality itself feels sort of off.

    Do not buy this, I have gone through 2 for my wifes 2nd monitor and both have issues with shades of black, a few shades of red and green. If her GPU had had another HDMI port or her monitor had a display port I would have gone direct but unfortunately I got stuck with this junk for a few days

    This was my first time trying Best Buy Essentials - Bought this and attempted same day - it never worked - seemingly defective straight out of the box. I returned it and bought the same thing but Insignia instead which worked perfectly.

    Firstly, the check out person gave me the wrong item which I didn’t realize until I was halfway home…one hour of driving down the drain…the item has been shorting regularly since I installed it. The replacement from Amazon will arrive tomorrow
