Component & HDMI cable questions re current video problems

Just about everyone, anywhere, has access to Amazon, so buy cables from there.  They have a line of cables of all kinds called Amazon Basics that are good and inexpensive. When I set up my entertainment system a few years ago, I bought a bunch of the same cables for the 4 HDMI inputs on the TV and the five ports on the HDMI switchbox, (and all 9 ports are in use!) 

I bought these cables, and they work well, and being light weight, they were easy to thread through a cabinet.  I even bought a few shorter HDMI cables, too.
