Just bought a random HDMI cabel and i started to worry

[Orkun_]

As title says i bought an HDMI cable for the connection between my laptop and television. For now there is no problem at all but i am worried if it can somehow break my laptop or television even if i don't do any mistakes or something unordinary. İ am asking this because i bought this cable from an acquaintance person to me and he said " This cable is a bad quality cable". So now i am questioning if i should change it or not. This simply that i am worried about if it can break or damage my laptop or tv, not if i can get a better visual performance by just changing a cable. Please note that i am planning to use this setup for years not just days or time to time

The worst that could happen is the cable breaks, nothing to worry about. New cable isn't an expensive fix by any means either.

I use generic cables all the time, not much can happen. Just be careful when you plug it in that you don't shove it in sideways and cause a spark or a short, that can kill the motherboard or video chip.
