Is there a big price difference between VGA cable and HDMI cable?

The price difference between VGA cable and HDMI cable is not particularly large, but it will vary in different scenarios, as follows:

• Basic short length cable: In general, about 1.5 meters of ordinary VGA cable and HDMI cable prices are similar. For example, on Alibaba's platform, the price of an ordinary 1.5-meter VGA cable may be around 1.5 yuan to 6 yuan. The same 

length of HDMI 2.0 version of the cable, the price is between 2.8 yuan and 31 yuan, but the low-cost products are usually more ordinary materials. If it is the basic model of a well-known brand, the price of the two is not much different, like the

green 1.5 meters VGA cable discount price is 12.9 yuan, the same length of HDMI cable price will be more than 15 yuan.

• High-end and special needs cables: For some cables with special functions or higher performance requirements, the price of HDMI cables may be higher than that of VGA cables. For example, VGA cable with anti-interference performance,

 water and dust resistance and other additional functions, the price may reach more than 150 yuan. If the HDMI cable is to support higher resolution such as 8K HDMI 2.1 version, or is better quality, with signal enhancement products, the price 

will increase accordingly. For example, Yamazawa's HDMI 2.1 HD line, 0.5 meters to the hand price of 15.21 yuan, with the length of the increase in the price will be higher, and in long-distance transmission, in order to ensure the quality of the

 signal, HDMI line may need to be paired with signal amplifiers and other equipment, which will also increase the overall cost.

• Long distance wire: When longer cables are needed, VGA cables usually need to use better quality products and signal amplifiers due to signal attenuation problems, and the cost will increase. For example, the price of a 20-meter VGA cable

 may be more than 100 yuan, and the price of a 20-meter VGA3 + 9 cable from Habesis is 199 yuan. The price of the same length of HDMI cable is not low, but because the HDMI cable transmits digital signals, the signal stability in long-distance

 transmission is relatively good, if it is a reliable brand product, the price may be more than 200 yuan.

In general, VGA cable and HDMI cable in the basic short length of the price difference is not large, but in the high-end, special needs and long distance cable, the price will be different due to material, brand, function and other factors.
