Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Out of all the exhaustive testing I did choosing a HDTV antenna for inside use, this one tested the best and just edged out the Amazon Basics equivalent version. It's sleek, modern looking, compact and has holes all ready to go for hanging on the wall. Most importantly it's reception ability in my area (once a suitable location was found...this style of antenna seems very dependent on placement, more so than the metal antenna style) was the best out of all tested. I'm picking up stations over 50mi away crystal clear!!! (but I'm in Central Texas). ***However, before you read anymore, I want to say shame on MOHU for cheaping out on the included cable. While it's fancy looking and branded...it is not copper cored! During my testing, I noticed about a 15% picture degradation on this one that differed from prior tests with it...I replaced the cable back to the solid copper coax i had previously used and boom full picture resolution was back. So DO NOT used the included coax cable. They got a star reduction for that crap. Especially since this one is the most expensive and "premium" example for this style...I find it particularly reprehensible that they did that. In addition to the above I also tested the 1byOne Super HDTV Antenna, the RCA cheapie rabbit ears, the RCA Indoor Amplified TV Antenna, this MOHU Leaf (standard 30mi range) and the Amazon Basics HDTV Antenna (same 30 mi range). - The RCA unpowered cheapie rabbit ears does admirable for the price but falls short in pretty much every other area including resolution. - The RCA indoor amplified did a pretty job but was also pretty susceptible to wind. The bulk and ugly black rabbit ears against my gray wall ruled this one out. - The 1byOne was super flimsy and cheap but did a decent job although it also seemed very susceptible to wind as well. The cheapness, lack of detachable cable and the fact that while you can paint it, it only comes in black (no white side like MOHU) lead me to send that one back as well. The two best performing ones for my location were the Amazon Basics and the MOHU. I ultimately went with the MOHU because of the detachable cable and it's smaller/thicker receiver material and it's sleeker / not as flimsy and large build as the Amazon one.
