Audio/Video Cables to Buy: Uncompromising Sound and Viewing Quality (and Grandma's Tales) | Topmarket 2026
Look, honestly, buying audio/video cables might be the most boring thing in the world. But... try connecting your new PS5 or some crazy soundbar to a 4K screen with some 15 shekel cable from AliExpress and see how the picture stutters. Or there's lag. Suddenly, that wire isn't so boring, huh? People spend thousands of shekels on a smart TV or a home theater system, and then they skimp on the cable. Like, why?
At Topmarket, we get it. The most frustrating thing is when you have the equipment and you're stuck without the right connection. That's why fast home delivery is critical for us (because who wants to wait?). We have a huge variety of lengths – which is super important for apartments in Israel that always need some long HDMI cable to run through the wall. And most importantly – everything here comes with an official importer's warranty. No tricks. We don't want you to get ripped off and buy a cheap audio/video cable that will end up frying your screen's port.
How to Choose Without Getting Ripped Off? (The Difference Between HDMI and DP and What's In Between)
Many ask me where to buy audio/video cables in Israel that will actually do the job. First of all, you need to understand what you need. It sounds obvious, but it's actually not. Everyone rushes to look for special price audio/video cables online, but wait. Do you have an 8K TV or advanced gaming equipment at 144Hz? You need an HDMI 2.1 cable. Buy a 2.0 – and the resolution simply won't pass correctly. It's physics.
And computers? Gamers connecting to a computer monitor will usually prefer a DisplayPort cable (DP 1.4). No matter how many audio/video cable price comparisons you do – if you bought the wrong connection, you've wasted money. And there's the sound issue. To connect a soundbar, everyone used to look for an optical cable. Today? It's better to use an HDMI eARC connection if your TV supports it, it transmits much cleaner sound. And if you have older equipment, of course, we also have a coaxial cable, RCA connection, or VGA connection for a projector.
So... How Much Do Audio/Video Cables Actually Cost? And the Brands Worth Something
People always ask, which is the best audio/video cable to buy – which brand? Look, the market is flooded. There are companies selling you "gold-plated" for hundreds of shekels. Unnecessary. But on the other hand, quality optical fibers in long cables (e.g., 10 meters) – that costs money.
With us, you'll only find brands that have passed the test. UGREEN, Belkin, Gold Touch, Baseus, Philips, and even Kramer for those looking for truly professional equipment. People buy audio/video cables online and think it's a gamble. Well, it's not.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) That We Get Asked A Lot...
Bandwidth. A 2.1 cable transmits much more data (48Gbps compared to 18Gbps). If you have a TV that supports 120Hz and a new console, with a 2.0 you'll be stuck at 60Hz and miss out on all the smooth gaming. For an older TV? 2.0 will do an excellent job.
The first recommendation is a quality HDMI cable connected to the eARC (or ARC) port on the TV. This allows for the transmission of the heaviest sound formats like Dolby Atmos and controls the volume via the TV remote. If there's no such connection, then an optical cable is the next solution.
Of course. Unlike all sorts of obscure websites online, at Topmarket you get an official importer's warranty on cables from leading brands. Bought something that doesn't work out of the box or broke due to a manufacturing defect? You know who to contact.
We work with a fast home delivery system. In most cases, the cable will be with you within a few business days (and sometimes faster, depending on where in the country we're delivering). Don't let your screen wait.
