False information?? Have you seen the cable that comes with the PS5? It literally says on the cable "High-Speed HDMI Cable." An HDMI 2.1 or 8K HDMI cable is called an "Ultra High-Speed HDMI Cable." I tested the PS5 cable along with the OEM cables from the Series S and the Series X. The Series X cable says Ultra High-Speed HDMI Cable and the Series S cable says High-Speed HDMI on it. I have it all in my video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmHOlKZ8jayDi8k - go to the 4:04 mark and you'll see the cable that came with the PS5. Again, it is not an HDMI 2.1 cable. Why did Sony do this? I don't know. They should have included an Ultra High-Speed Cable but they did not.

Lol, the Audiioquest was shown as not worth it.

[@boeing757pilot]

Complete nonsense.. HDMI either works or it doesn't. Buy a properly built HDMI cable (at a cheap price) and understand that you have as good as it gets. No expensive cabe will do better. But, snake oil sells...

[@garyharper2943]

Are you kidding, you definitely have sold out. I’ve always liked your channel, but now can’t believe anything you say, unsubscribed.

Got on here to figure out why audioquest so expensive. Definitely not paying over $50 for dammmmm cable

[@TechnoDad]

Yeah, it’s not worth it. I tested a bunch of cables and put them here - technodad.biz/HDMITest

[@s_s_j21-psn53]

Wait wait....so you’re telling me that my ps5 can’t do 4K @ 120 ???? Should I even buy a new hdmi then ????

[@TechnoDad]

It'll send that signal, but it's upscaling and not rendering 4K120 natively.

How much is best buy paying you to try and sell their new overpriced cables? Pathetic

The only HDMI cable that can improve picture quality is Mcable that has processing built into the cable. Ye audio quest makes some nice quality cables with good materials but it won't improve the picture

[@DamnDealDone]

No HDMI cable will improve a picture. The digital info is the same, always.

[@dante19890]

@@DamnDealDone mclassic is different. It has a computer chip inside that does postprocessing anti aliasing. Really good for game consoles such as Nintendo switch

There is no such thing as HDMI 2.1 cable. HDMI cable are certified as standard (Cat1) 4.95 Gb/s, High (Cat2) 10.2 Gb/s, Premium (Cat3) 18 Gb/s and Ultra (Cat4) 48 Gb/s. Audioquest Forest 48 is Ultra 48 Gb/s certified.

[@Shadoefax760]

Audioquest is not the best. Anything over 10ft is suspect & not 2.1. don't trust anything without the certificate.

[@TechnoDad]

Here’s a link to my HDMI 2.1 test results page - technodad.biz/HDMITest

[@Shadoefax760]

@@TechnoDad that doesn't prove anything. I applaud your effort but you see, I'm an audio visual director so hdmi, vga, ethernet cables are my business & we use commercial grade stuff that better than audio quest. 900 dollars is fir rich people to think that it is only way but it's not. I could list a hundred cables better. And you should be using a computer monitor for your games and you'll see wb even larger improvement.
