Ruipro 4K Fiber HDMI Review | Best Picture Quality ??

[@VVVLOG-ti3gj]

Is ok if the cable is not in good direction? Sample source in screen and display in ampli? Mistake installation in wall 😥. Hope it's ok

[@rckrckrckrck]

This is very misleading. You’re pausing the content at different timing intervals and finding motion blur, so it would be very hard to see differences. This isn’t analog. It either makes the digital handshake or not. The only way there would be a PQ difference is if, say, the copper HDMI can’t make a connection at 4k 4:4:4 so you’re getting better color depth from fiber because of better bandwidth at long runs. Interference also does not affect HDMI cables like with analog. Again, these are digital signals made up of 0’s and 1’s. RF interference in analog cables affecting sound and video is a thing, it’s not in digital. Again, either the pipes carry the 1’s and 0’s or they don’t. If they don’t, you get an erroneous handshake and you see nothing. Get a fiber cable for long runs for sure, but you’re not getting different color depth or sharpness if the same throughput is happening on each cable. Sorry, that’s just nonsense and any expert or engineer in the space will tell you that.

[@user-gz6tx6yp3v]

Exactly it makes no difference. It either works or it doesn't. You cannot improve on it. I always go for the cheapest and sturdier cables and the data bandwidth. Some people spend stupid money.

[@SlyNine]

Nonsense, I can feel the difference In my thetan levels. Without fiber thetans can't transfer. Standard cables really mess with the subluxation of your retinas. Causing advertise health effects. Covid was caused by copper HDMI cables. Don't you care about grandma?

[@skylerk1962]

I have a weird question to ask. I've searched the internet, but can't find the answer. I have a Marantz SR7010 receiver and a Sony TV. I'm using the CEC ARC on both. I have HTPC (home theatre PC) to watch movies, PS4, and a WII. These are all connected to the receiver. I don't have cable, so I use the antenna as a reception to the TV tuner to watch local broadcasting. Everything works and looks fine but I have to switch my input the correct input because there is no OSD (on-screen display) from the Marantz. I have all my equipment in a rack that is hidden away, about 60' away from the TV. I'm using a QualGear 75' HDMI 2.0 18Gbps copper cable. It uses to work right, but for whatever reason, it stopped casting the OSD. So I unhooked the receiver for a test and brought it closer to the TV and connected it with a shorter HDMI cable and it works. I'm able to use the Sony smart remote to switch inputs on the Marantz receiver. So I determined it must be a distance issue. So I started researching HDMI cables. So my question is before I spend a lot of money that will give no results. Do you think a Fiber Optic cable is an answer?

[@jr62inhometheater98]

For the longer runs , yes you do need a fiber optic HDMI cable.

[@marlonhouston6685]

OK i have a question. Which is better Toslink vs HDMI optical cable for sound? Just curious.

[@davelennon5214]

Found this video after watching your review of the Panasonic 9000 player and your reference to these cables. Will definitely look into these cables. Both videos were very informative and helpful. Thanks

cool beans. Thanks man

[@aaronwilson1677]

I'm using a monster cable 4k ultra hd for OLED. What cables do I need for the panasonic ub 9000 ? 2.1 hdmi for the audio ?

[@simonplait5531]

Can you compare the ruipro to a cable in the +/-300€ price range like Avinity? I have just bought the Sony VW270ES native 4K hdr beamer and I am not sure on how much I should pay for an 10m hdmi cabel.

[@wyngardlim1876]

Another stupid question, can i use an HDMI repeater/booster for an active 4k hdmi cable like the 35ft one im using??

[@ThatHomeTheaterDude]

I cant speak to the efficiency or reliability to those since I dont use them. Logically that should work. I would question its ability to to pass through full 4k signal. that may be pricey in of itself.

[@brianm4141]

Thanks for the comparison. Surprised at the differences in the cables

[@ThatHomeTheaterDude]

for real. me too. I never thought there would be. But i did it and saw the difference so I filmed it. Crazy

[@Trojan0304]

Just heard about this comparison. Hard to decide about Monoprice sharper or Ruipro contrast. I have JVC2000 from Zach. Running a Panasonic 820 & Oppo 203. My 4K cable is 25’ so not sure any benefit at this length.

[@ProtectiveDadPranks]

You helped me tremendously. I just swapped from the Epson 6040ub to the new Epson 6050ub on a 135” screen. I was running Monster Cable Black Platinum 35’ HDMI. Used to be really good. But now I couldn’t get a 4K 60 HDR signal to save my life. Thanks so Much!

[@marccastillo3001]

Curious as to which fiber cable you went with...Monoprice or Ruipro? Just had the 6050 installed and having issues with the HDMI cable that was installed.

[@jojoartsusa]

Very little hope on getting the cable, but I will give it a try. I needed a long cable and was researching here in KZbin. I regularly watch your channel. Interesting

[@jorgeluisfernandez2560]

Between these and monster 8k which is better for image and sound? Thanks

[@Mayday73]

So what was the Monoprice cable you compared it to? I noticed the clarity difference right away, but had a hard time picking up on the color differences and might be more interested in the Monoprice to run to my projector (though 50' would be overkill).

[@ThatHomeTheaterDude]

amzn.to/2Vmin7c monoprice fiber. Looks like the price has gone up since filming.

[@ThatHomeTheaterDude]

Hey cool. Thanks alot Lawrence

[@deon_coetzee]

I don't have a long run... Probably about 1.5meters (around 5ft). Would this cable make a huge difference fr me?

[@ThatHomeTheaterDude]

You may. I havent seen many fiber cables for short runs.

[@ironman1518.]

What is the absolute "maximum usable" length for a copper HDMI cable, please?

[@ThatHomeTheaterDude]

depends on the maker. Some 4k signals become questionable at as little as 10-15 feet. Fiber is really only needed at the longer runs or you can buy a powered HDMI. Those use USB power to help with signal transfer

[@ironman1518.]

[@ThatHomeTheaterDude]

Some of those naysayers have jumped ship. They unsubscribed and called me dishonest by making the video. I didnt think there would be a difference, but i saw one and recorded it. I cant fathom how people are personally offended by just showing the simple difference.

[@timkennedy4777]

Do they only benefit you if you are running long lengths or would you see benefits in a 6ft one also

[@ThatHomeTheaterDude]

id say so. but then again its something that should be tested in person

[@WickedStepGranny]

We were told to purchase an HDMI cable with Ethernet to run from our Denon AVR-S950H to our LG OLED77C8PUA television. Is this Ruipro fiber cable capable of doing this?

[@ThatHomeTheaterDude]

dont think so :(

[@WickedStepGranny]

I have a 33ft Ruipro hdmi cable running to my JVC projector for a couple years now, excellent cable!

[@ThatHomeTheaterDude]

I have that one too. The 10 meter pro ruipro

[@WickedStepGranny]

Couldn't wait to win these cables so ordered from Amazon and with Prime was able to take advantage of a coupon that saved 20%. The cable came Friday and was surprised at the size...so small. Since we needed 50' from our Denon AVR-S950H to our LG OLED77C8PUA down one wall through the basement and back up another wall, thought it was best to lay the cable out on the living room floor and connect the AV receiver to the TV to make sure there was nothing wrong with the cable. We were blown away with how much the picture had improved! Thank you "That Home Theater Dude" for the review.

[@wyngardlim1876]

I recently bought a comprehensive pro av/it from b&h. Hooked up to denon and optoma uhd51a over 35 ft. The optoma seems to be refreshing the source a couple of times throughout the movie only on 4K movies. Any ideas??? Would the ruipro be the solution?? Thanks.

[@ThatHomeTheaterDude]

hey i just bought another microphone from b&h. I love those guys.Whats your source and what cable are you using?

[@wyngardlim1876]

Hello sir. Thanks for the reply. Im using a denon x3500 connected to sony ubp x700 with a comprehensive pro av/it 3 ft certified 18 gb/s progrip. The denon has the 35 ft run to the optoma. Whew, that was a mouthful.

[@wyngardlim1876]

i first thought it was the Optoma uhd51a that was the problem. Then i tested the ubp x800, lg and samsung. All had the circle of “refreshing sources”. Some 4K HDR movies had more handshake issues than others like Infinity War. Jurassic Park didnt hiccup so much. But i never had a straight whole movie experience.

[@ThatHomeTheaterDude]

Check the hdmi and make sure its fully plugged in. My apple tv will do that some times. I have to really seat it well. Also the 35 foot cable you are using. Is it a good cable? Fiber works great for long runs. HDMI signal tends to drop out at longer lengths

[@wyngardlim1876]

I do check if the HDMI is seated in well. I am using the comprehensive pro av/it certified 18gb/s progrip from b&h. I even moved the input to the aux2 hdmi to possibly resolve maybe a clocking issue. Maybe i can borrow one of ur ruipros to test the theory?? 🤪

[@TheTwinrabbits]

Hi! There Dude you change the speakers and what you did the whole speakers klipsch thks again

[@ThatHomeTheaterDude]

what?

[@ThatHomeTheaterDude]

type in your native language and i can use a translator to understand you better :)

[@MaverickneoGamer]

Is it worth it to upgrade to the Ruipro for better images versus a regular high speed HDMI when watching movies in 4k with HDR? Even though I dont need an oversized cable? For example just replacing my regular 6 foot cable?

[@ThatHomeTheaterDude]

it depends. I have noticed a slight edge on color and sharpness, but the cost of fiber is pretty high. I have seen 8k cables that are relatively inexpensive.

[@MaverickneoGamer]

That Home Theater Dude so in other words if I were to upgrade from high speed hdmi cable to a fiber optic one it’s probably better to wait for prices to come down?

[@Lou14th]

Cool upload man, thanks for the comparison shots. I couldn’t tell and obvious difference.

[@mrcheezle6]

Cause there was NO difference

[@roddonnareinmann9971]

Can't wait until you hit 50K because I just bought a LG OLED Tv and really could use these cables. Using the copper type right now.

[@ThatHomeTheaterDude]

Rod Reinmann hey brother. I don’t think this vid will get to 50k any time soon. If you cover shipping I’ll send you out one. Did you want 100ft or 50ft or 33 ft?

[@roddonnareinmann9971]

Dude your the coolest. 33ft. is actually overkill for me but I will choose them. My Tv sit atop a tv stand just like the old glass one you had and my Marantz sits just below that but yes I will do that. I'm on disability so don't get paid until the 3rd. If you tell me how much it is and how you'd like to go about paying the shipping, this will be a great new month for me. Thank you so very much. Still using my Marantz SR-7011 model from 2013, but maybe if you have something to help me in that way we could discuss that later. Rod Call me at 815-822-9029 Do you still own the Klipsch RF-7 III's. Didn't see them in your last video. Been wanting those speakers but my wife won't let me because of there $1,799.00 price tag.

[@markkaupas8921]

Talking about future proofing, I'm doing some remodeling and I will be installing 12 gauge speaker wire in the ceiling and also the Ruipro 4K for a projector. Question is should I install 8K cable or will the 4K be fine for the next 8 to 10 years. I will have only one shot at the install unless I start knocking holes all over my ceiling after the remodel.

[@samszola464]

I would love one of these for my projector, love the content keep it coming.

[@stephenrichard7895]

I've had problems with a relatively short run of HDMI (25 feet). I have ARC in both my Samsung TV and my Denon receiver. Getting the audio from the TV back to the receiver via ARC has been problematic. Rather than copper HDMI, I also tried HDMI over ethernet and it has the same problem. Perhaps the Fiber Optic HDMI may be a solution. Anyone know?

[@ThatHomeTheaterDude]

usually baluns will fix the problem. Fiber works just great.

[@LarHines]

Fiber for shorter runs make any sense? Say from 4k dvd player to processor

[@ThatHomeTheaterDude]

There are cheaper options. but the main reason for fiber is signal strength at longer length. There is a monster fiber cable that is really inexpesive and it is only available in short runs. To get max benefits run a fiber direct from the source to the display and then usually on a 4k player there is a second HDMI out. use that one to go to your AVR. You can run a single cable from player to avr then fiber to display but I would recommend the first option for max benefits

[@ThatHomeTheaterDude]

Yes. They were the same settings

[@olenronning5868]

@@ThatHomeTheaterDude Interesting. Is it just my imagination, or was the frame rate / judder significantly different between them? It looked like the Ruipro had more color contrast, but had a hard time syncing frames correctly and thus was constantly rendering a "blurred" image that looks smeared between two frames. In my opinion, that's far worse than a small loss in color fidelity. Not rendering 24p correctly, for example, is a fail.

Thanks Jonathan. This video sparked a bunch of haters that dont believe. I always say test it yourself and make up your own mind. This was as accurate a test I could have done. I never thought there would be a difference, but I saw it in person so I had to film it

[@KE8VQZ]

Thanks for the comparison. Just getting ready to purchase one of this type cable.

[@ThatHomeTheaterDude]

serious? I have links in the description. Also Ruipro is having a lightning sale of these tomorrow april 10 at 1230 to 630

[@KE8VQZ]

I'll check out the sale but my budget probably has me a couple weeks out.. Just got a new AVR (Onkyo RZ830) on Friday... Projector is still 1080p but I'm looking at the BenQ HT3550 as my next upgrade and I have about a 25-30 cable run..

I appreciate your time, knowledge and wisdom.. Thanks Dude!

welcome buddy

Great video... Thany you... I did not realized the difference in copper vs fiber; nor the difference between manufacturers. Now, I am wondering if I should go with a 2.1 HDMI instead of the Ruipro 2.0b? There appears to be little difference in price. However, the Fundisinn Certificated Optical HDMI2.1 on Amazon is new and therefor has few if any reviews. I am buying a new Sony A9G 4k TV. So, the 2.0b should do the job. But, the 2.1 does also allow a higher frame rate at 4K and I have no clue if the Sony TV will operate at a higher frame rate. The 2.1 may be some future-proofing. The Ruipro is more of a known quality. ????? I am leaning toward the 2.1.... Your thoughts??????

[@ThatHomeTheaterDude]

You said you are buying the a9g. does that have hdmi 2.1? Somehow the 2.1 are relativley inexpensive right now. I would still say go with the fiber 2.0. You should be fine until the leap to 8k comes out.

[@NevadaScrubJay]

No, it does not have the full HDMI 2.1. But, I do not understand what that limits. My understanding is that somehow some of 2.1 is enabled and it has HDCP 2.3. I am curious about the frame rate (120 Htz) when running it through a computer GPU. Still, we are talking about the processor increasingly pushing more data through the pipe (therefor your difference in the pictures). I am hung up on the 18Gbps, 28Gbps, and 48Gbps stats. I don't want the relatively inexpensive cable to be the link holding back potential performance. How will a 2020 firmware update change things? Your video indicated different performance with different cables. Why??? These are data not analog formats. The only difference should be the diameter of the pipe (18-28-48). I guess I can see a difference between fiber and copper, or twists, or construction? So, which 2.0b cable/company pushes more data than the other cables. Or, even without Sony A9G not having the 2.1 connector, does it still push more data? More data through the cable should mean a better picture. Then the 2.1 is backward comparable. So, the next gen format should not hurt??????

Very detailed explanation, I enjoyed the comparison 👍

[@ThatHomeTheaterDude]

Thanks! I had like 80 minutes of footage i had to edit. I didnt realize i went on so long on the back half of the episode. Its all informative so I left those bits in

[@alexidelvalle4824]

Thanks I knew that the more expensive wires were better but I didn't have 100% understanding on why and you totally help with that today. And perching sing a projector for Father's day and it's going to be set a little over 15 ft from the wall And I was going to go with some really cheap HDMI wires I found on eBay because that's where my budget is.

[@ThatHomeTheaterDude]

hope i can help :)

[@alexidelvalle4824]

@@ThatHomeTheaterDude yes me 2. Thanks. I'll be running it inside the wall into the attic then to projector. I don't know yet how long of a cable I will need.

[@alexandsimba]

1:50 Amen to that. I spent almost $100 on both speaker cables and HDMI cable because I forgot to measure the thing the cables would covered by.

[@nalindias2601]

Hello home theater dude, thanks for every video, much appreciated your time and effort. Always enjoy your unbiased opinion on home theater products. Excellent comparison of those 2 brands of fibre leads. A recent subscriber and would love to have a longer cable (50 feet) and of course happy to pay for shipping to down under :) !!

[@ThatHomeTheaterDude]

Right oh buddy. i'll add you to the list. Thanks for watching half way across the world

[@ssj5goku28]

Thank you so much for the information regarding Fiber HDMI, I'm looking to upgrade my cables as my are giving me intermittent signal loss over a 30 foot distance. Hopefully this would solve my issue.

[@ThatHomeTheaterDude]

I think it could help you Dr

[@adam2562]

I just recently bought a Celerity fiber HDMI, I'm curious how the Ruipro compares! Thanks for the reviews!

[@ThatHomeTheaterDude]

adam2562 I heard that one is high quality. Not too many reviews for those out there right now. Dollar wise if you can get great performance for less then I can see a reason to save. Basically these cables are piece of mind to not have to do an installation more than once. I’m happy with mine. Let me know what you think about that celerity.

[@adam2562]

@@ThatHomeTheaterDude So far the Celerity has been great, the picture is great. I'm no videophile, but it was my first setup i put together for our rental properties theater room. I had to go that route after an inferior 50ft line of 18gbps 1080p line was ran by the builder, and i didn't catch it until i tried to run a 4k movie. so, i just One and Done it, their site sold me on them. and i had little time to do research. i liked that it could be installed in either direction, so i didn't have to worry about the installer putting it in backwards LoL. All in all, happy with the purchase, but if i need to do it again in the future i'll definitely give Ruipro a run

[@Bryan-hd7nm]

Nice video! Do you run the hdmi straight to your projector or to your reciever then projector? Thanks keep up the great work!

[@ThatHomeTheaterDude]

yes. i didnt want the AVR to be a factor in the test

[@Bryan-hd7nm]

That Home Theater Dude awesome! Do you think that’s the best way to do it? Just trying to figure out if I should do it that way or use the avr to the tv for best picture possible

[@fsevilla1]

home theater dude what about hdmi over Cat cable i have used 4k hdmi hdbaset from wirestorm or atlona with good results but have not tested it vs a fiber line. that would be a nice test

[@ProtectiveDadPranks]

Thanks. You sold me on MONOPRICE!

[@ThatHomeTheaterDude]

Right on man

[@diesel15155]

Love this vid and your set up. Would love a free fibre HDMI- I live in the uk so let me know how much you would like for p&p. Also could you help me out with a tv question please. I’ve got a Samsung Qled F9 and picture is really good but sometimes the picture looks washed out and has a rainbow effect. Do you know how to resolve this. Many thanks Neil

[@ThatHomeTheaterDude]

do you have your automatic brightness setting turned on? i would leave it off

[@Therianlife42]

Really enjoy your content. I miss getting my home theatre magazines every month back in the day. I can get my fix here now! Question: I have a Klipsch center speaker with bi-amping ability, would you recommend utilizing this feature? Or just use the bi-amp gold connections?

[@ThatHomeTheaterDude]

Id use a single amplifier that is capable of the power. I dont like bi-amping, but thats me
