Clearly AV - One Stop Shop For Quality Audio and Video Cables And Accessories
Over the last year my home AV setup has changed dramatically, from a single CD player to a fairly advanced connected home. As the number and complexity of components has increased, I’ve realised the importance of buying good cables and storage units.
Picking the right cables, particularly cost effective ones can be quite difficult, which is where sites like Clearly AV can help, by helping customers find cost effective AV cables and storage.
I’m stunned by how many people purchase expensive AV components and then don’t invest in decent cables. One of my cousins for instance has a very expensive TV which is around 60 inches, but I was stunned to see that he had it connected by a bog standard aerial cable.
With modern devices and TVs there are normally a number of connection options that can be used, and it’s not always a given that a DVI connection is better than say VGA, but it is generally true that digital connections are better than analogue.
Whatever connection you finally settle upon, Clearly AV have a wide range of audio visual cables available. There prices are also very competitive, and they don’t take advantage of customers by charging outrageous prices for cables that won’t provide any discernible improvements in quality. For instance their most expensive HDMI cable is only £128, which is very competitive for a 20m cable.
If you’re still not sure what type of cable you should plump for then free technical help is available. There’s a very helpful search engine in addition to FAQs, but what really makes Clearly AV stand out in my view is they actually have a customer service phone line. One of my many frustrations with many online retailers these days is they just don’t provide good customer support, and being able to talk to a live person is very rare these days.
Clearly AV also a wide range of TV wall brackets and other storage solutions. This is another area many users tend to overlook when they buy their kit. I recently feel into this trap by buying a storage unit that had really crap cooling. I only realised how bad it was when I built my HTPC and I could actually see the temp - basically the air wasn’t flowing at all. Generating good airflow is vital to extending the life of your expensive toys.
Hiding your numerous cables can be quite hard and I think I might purchase some of the sexy aluminium cable covers for my new pad as at the moment I’m constantly tripping over my cables! Maybe Clearly AV will give me a discount in return for writing this sponsored review.

I hide mostly cables in the walls when make repair in my flat. And Everton rights - if you want to have quality picture and sound you need good cable.

Thanks for the primer on cables Everton. I’ve recently bought a 46″ Samsung LE46M87BD (which is fantastic), and I thought that was all there was to it. Little did I know I’m now immersed knee-deep in learning about players, speakers, amplifiers, and now cables! Its true though that after splashing out on the tv you’re rather missing the point if you don’t support it with equipment that is up to the task…
