I can't get the one you recommended in the UK at 1.5m in length?It works, but I personally use this one on the PS5.
Only thing you have to worry about with digital signal cables are the length of them with copper vs fiber optic with really long runs. For gaming consoles and the like I keep it 3 meters or less.
Actually there is a bit of engineering that goes I to these things to combat crosstalk, reflections due to impedance mismatches, shielding, wire twist,etc. A shitty designed cable may be ok at lower bandwidths and then display pixelation or discoloration at high bandwidth. You may not notice it sitting on your couch depending on how bad it is.You sound like a Best Buy employee trying to sell Monster cables.
There’s literally no difference, you will never run into signal interference on an HDMI cable unless it’s broken.
I see this one, but the third party seller is way overcharging. Must be a supply issue at the moment.I can't get the one you recommended in the UK at 1.5m in length?
I watched this whole video and they guys says the opposite of what you posted.This is a long believed internet "truth" but not exactly true
I Spent a THOUSAND Dollars on HDMI Cables.. for Science - YouTube
Whether that difference matters is another question, but the whole the signal either gets through or doesn't because digital thing is a myth. That said, Sony's is more than good enough, and this is particularly about the cheapest stuff on long cables.
I really doubt you saw difference between contrast or brighter using different cables in the same INPUT on your TV.I agree. But I’ve seen cables in the same price range offer more or less pop than another when similarly specced. Like one will have a higher contrast or appear brighter. Brand new cables with the same components and inputs used so the settings were identical. There’s some funky shit going on out there.
I have this one and I highly recommend it. I saw a noticeable improvement in picture quality.
I did. I’m bypassing my receiver because it isn’t 2.1 compatible. I ab’d with same input. This was around launch when I had to find an hdmi cable. At that point they were all highest bandwidth after i eliminated the ones that weren’t actually full 2.1 compatible. 1 or 2 even had a weird blue tint that would happen once every 40 or so minutes. It could be a bandwidth issue but one or 2 cables definitely had more pop to them and or washed out looks.I really doubt you saw difference between contrast or brighter using different cables in the same INPUT on your TV.
Unless the cable fails (and you lose signal) you will get the exactly same data independent of the cable.
Thank you sir.I see this one, but the third party seller is way overcharging. Must be a supply issue at the moment.

This one would probably work just as well.
I’m pretty sure that zeskit is the one I mentioned in my post above about the screen color changing every 40 minutes.Thank you sir.
That’s going to be an interesting thing to watch because even the first 2.1 receivers had some issues. Good luck.Cables were the easy part.
The hard part for me was waiting for HDMI 2.1 switches to finally come to market, and it seems like they are starting to slowly come out, but I haven't done enough research yet.
Anyone have a suggestion for this?
Oh good lord. Read the specs...You need at lest something like this:
Otherwise you might as well have stayed on PS4
HDMI carries a digital signal.
Usually with digital signals you either get the full signal or you simply don't get anything, you can't only get a partial amount of it, it's either 100% or 0%. So a $1000 cable is going to give you the same image as a $20 one.
Usually the more expensive cables (I'm talking the $30-50 range, not the ridiculous stuff I posted above) just have better build quality and should last longer before needing to be replaced, specially if you are going to be moving or plugging and unplugging it a lot (to connect different devices). But you won't be getting a better picture from them.
