I'm not trashing this deal, but…

For anyone who doesn't know: These are not certified Ultra High Speed Cables. There is one company that tests and certifies cables to make sure they actually do have the speed they claim to have. There are a lot of cables out there that do not actually have the bandwidth they say they do.

Now, for most people, that won't be an issue with these cables. The only time I have heard of an issue was in an article where the person was trying to use an Amazon 8K cable to game at 120fps on his Xbox Series X, with it plugged into his Onkyo receiver. The problem was that the option for 120fps was greyed out on his console, but when he plugged it directly into his TV, using that same cable, he got the option back. He finally figured out that his receiver didn't recognize that cable, for whatever reason. When he used a certified one plugged into the receiver, he got the option back.

So, chances are you're safe with this, but if you run into a weird issue like that, you'll know why. Granted this is super cheap to take the risk on, but personally, I just preferred to spend $15 and get something I knew was going to be work.
Linus Tech Tips did a video reviewing Amazon Basics cables and most of them passed 8k.

I have this cable and run it directly to my TV with a Fire Cube. I've used it directly on my TV and monitor that have HDMI 2.1 capabilities with an Xbox Series X and both have worked great allowing 4K at 120hz. Just my 2¢

Much appreciate your comment. Can you recommend some certified cables known to be tested and verified?

Mind you it, it wasn't for gaming but a couple of years ago I did some rearranging of my WFH setup. Long to short I swapped an HDMI cable and the one monitor went wonky. After trying everything else I remembered the cable swap. Yup. Sure enough that was the bottleneck.

The point being: The model / quality can matter.

Quote from TheNarratorr :
Anybody paying over $5 and saying "aren't certified etc" are just fooled by marketing. These are cheap and they all do the same purpose.
Purpose? Yes, of course. They have HDMI connectors. But there are in fact different level of "quality & quantity" between the plugs.

These could be fine. But there are use cases where they might cause issues.

cable quality 100% matters once you get into higher refresh rates and sound. dolby vision is notoriously a pita when it comes to that.

In for 1.

I have 1 tv which uses Xfinity cable. A few HD stations are not coming in correctly for the past few weeks. It may be the box or old HDMI.

The closest Xfinity store is far and not in the direction I drive. So hopefully, this HDMI will do the trick.

Here's some irony for you. I've struggled with a bunch of HDMI cables for my new 4K LG 32GQ950-B. These Amazon cables are working better than any of the "certified" cables I was getting annoyed with due to sporadic signal drop-out etc. In for some more of these in different sizes for spares.

So one company has a monopoly on testing and has no agenda. Got it.

This cable is only good for max 60hz, it's in the title description on Amazon. I'd put money that people having issues are trying drive over 60hz.
