For our tests we used the cable on a 24" iiyama 1080p and a 37" Panasonic LCD 1080p screen, via a PS3 console.

As this was our first cable review we did not have anything to compare the Lindy cable to, but in the end we managed to test the cable with the 37" screen against an IXOS XHT288 HDMI cable (IXOS are a renowned Hi-Fi cable specialist).

As soon as we pluged in the HDMI cable via the PS3, it detects the full 1080p output of the screen and the colours from the 24" were brought to life. There was no ghosting or interference to be found and we even had stacks of electrical equipment surrounding the LCD screen to make it a challenge.

On the Panasonic we were able to test the cable using Blu-ray films and PS3 console games. The Lindy cable compared well against the IXOS cable and it was as good or if not better in certain areas at bringing the colours to life. Pirates of the Caribbean looked great, as did Call of Duty 4 and there was no ghosting or interference to be found again.

So the Lindy cable compares well to known Hi-Fi specialist manufactures.

Sound

As the cable supports HDMI 1.3 with multi-channel digital audio, all the basis are covered - so you can enjoy sound at the highest possible quality levels.

Again you need the EQ to gain full benefits from the above, but it’s useful to know that you have up-to-date compatibility with the Lindy cable.

Value For Money

Prices of the cables start from about £44 which compares well to other Hi-Fi specialists, but you also get the bonus of a handy 25 year warranty.

As this is our first review of a HDMI cable the Lindy essentially becomes the benchmark.

Its build quality on the whole is excellent and its construction certainly helps with interference. The quality of the images were brought to life on our test 24" and 37" screens and the Lindy cable compares well to known Hi-Fi specialist brands such as IXOS.
