Cable Matters [Ultra High Speed HDMI Certified] 8K HDMI Cable, 6.6ft

picked this up to hook up an apple tv 4k in the living room after dealing with occasional black screens and handshake drops on an older cable. passed the apple tv 4k hdmi connection test on the first try with zero issues. dynamic range matching, 4k 60hz, and high-bitrate audio all switch over instantly without flickering or dropouts. the cable has a bit of heft to it due to the shielding, but it is plenty flexible to route neatly behind the entertainment stand, and the connectors seat snug in both the box and the display. cable matters remains a reliable brand for cables because the ultra high speed certification is legit. fixed the problem completely for a fair price.

I had a customer order this cable for an install. I decided to give it a try because the title said that the cable was certified. However, this cable comes in a plain bag without the QR code to verify the certification status. It worked fine, but I'm not convinced that it is what it claims to be without the QR code proof. As a professional in the technology industry, I give this advice about HDMI cables. 1. Don’t use the cable that came with the device. They are often HDMI 1.4 and of low quality. 2. HDMI 2.1 cables only. They are the most capable and will future proof your setup for years to come. 3. Use the shortest HDMI cable you can get away with. The longer the cable, the more chance you have of signal noise. I go with one of two aftermarket cables depending on the situation. Low to mid range configurations: For basic TV streaming, BluRay players, or lower resolution gaming consoles like the Nintendo Switch, I think a cable like this Cable Matters cable will work just fine. The price is right and these types of configurations don't require a lot of demand. This level of cable can occasionally have issues with 4k 10-bit at 60hz (Xbox One X, PS5) and HDR10 encoding in movies. HDR10+ or Dolby Digital have never worked for me with the these basic cables. High end configurations: Fusion8k is my reliable, go-to cable for high end since the latest video sources and TVs support HDR10+ and Dolby Digital. They've also been perfect to meet the demands of the latest gaming consoles like the PS5. Fusion8K are worth it for me where I invest the most in quality devices so that I don't have to waste time in troubleshooting issues. UPDATE: I've been struggling with some of the plastic molded connectors over long lengths with DolbyAtmos lately. Longer version of this cable could have the same problem. I'll leave my original rating since I reviewed it as a budget cable based on cost and construction, but I'll be sticking with upper end like the Fusion8K cables I mentioned in my original review due to its heavy duty construction and certification for longer cables.

This cable after hookup and my display shows more resolution options than before. I was shocked, actually cable makes difference. No more sudden blackout or flash. Easy plug in. Length about right. Totally satisfied.

Before buying this cable, my TV wasn't connected to anything. Now it is. My family has noticed the difference. The dog respects me more. Five stars.

Perfect, no issues with MSI 240hz 4k / RTX 3090

The cable worked well to output 4k 120 Hz HDR from my gaming PC to my OLED TV. It’s HDMI 2.1 certified with the QR code, and performs to spec as advertised. But it is very thick and stiff, about as thick as my pinky finger. I initially had it plugged into an HDMI switcher and it was so stiff that it caused the lightweight switcher to point up into the air. The thickness is to be expected for a 20 foot HDMI 2.1 cable, but I had concerns about the strain it could put on my HDMI inputs so I’ve decided to use a thinner fiber optic cable instead.

After trying multiple times to get my pc to display the correct resolution 4k 120hz this is the cable that could actually do it at 15ft. This is a thick cable be warned, but if you need high definition this will do it!

does what it says with length. cable matters is a great brand.
