Our verdict
Both are cheap, reliable and rated 4.6 on big numbers, so you cannot really go wrong. Amazon Basics is the simplest pick for a standard 4K@60Hz run to a TV, console or monitor at a rock-bottom price, and its short length covers most setups. KabelDirekt pulls ahead if you need a specific length, since it sells everything from 0.15m to over 22m, or want extra headroom, as its higher-bandwidth 8K and 4K versions are a touch more future-proof for 120Hz gaming. For a basic living-room connection, save with Amazon Basics. For an exact run length or a high-refresh gaming rig, KabelDirekt gives you more options for very little more money.
