I learned a lot in your straight to the point, no B.S., no funny faces and no bad jokes approach. Thank you.

[@grilledcheese6781]

Thank you for getting straight to the answer. I love that you explained it in a way I understand. You earned a new sub. :)

[@thomascochran3641]

You provide knowledgeable and understandable information. Unfortunately, the victims that buy these outrageously expensive cables expecting better performance will probably continue. " It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled". Keep up the great videos.

[@deionnpcfit]

Wow great tip on reviews filtering. Filtered to 6ft and there were no bad reviews. 15 dollars for a great cable. I feel much better about everything after this video. Thanks man!

[@drutgat2]

I love your reviews/videos. You are articulate, to the point, and you know what you are talking about. Many thanks. My procedure for reading reviews is to always read the worst ones first, and to then total the percentage of the number of 1 - 3 star reviews versus the total percentage of the 1 and 2 star reviews. That usually tells me a lot.

[@claytonjones1186]

Great video bud! I just read about this when i was looking to replace my hdmi for my 4k hdr. And its been a few years. I found a 4k hdr HDMI at 22.28 Gbps and it only cost $15. It looked great before and the bandwidth throughput increase made a massive change. It was difficult to shake that a $15 cable can be better than the then $50 HDMI I replaced. Technology changes so much, peeps like you make it easy for any level of knowledge to gain great insight.

Good video Chris. I like when you said there are people out there who swear by the expensive ones. A lot of people don't realize that a lot of products that look the same are, from the off brand ones from China to the expensive ones with big name brands can be made from the same company in China. The companies that own the name brand ones just have their name and logo printed on it. It's good to know that the PT Barnum phrase, "there's a sucker born every minute," is still popular and living well in Asian countries.

I've tried amazon basics hdmi cables and audioquest 2.1 cables with my sony oled and there is MOST DEFINITELY a difference my dude. Not saying your wrong but this video isn't entirely correct. If you're someone just trying to watch something then yes, you likely won't even notice differences. But if you're connecting a serious audio/visual system and are an audiophile, there is a massive difference in cables. Night and day difference.

Instead of "buyer beware", it should be seller beware; and if the government doesn't want to regulate it, then perhaps we should. Like in every city and every store, whoever is bothered to throw a brick that day. Should sort itself out quickly that way.

Blue Jeans cables! Give them a google, they're fantastic. Thank you for great content. There's "information overload" out there with Ethernet certification, active vs passive, 8-16 Bit Color, 60/120Hz frame rate.. and most people just hooking up their Nintendo to their 32".

[@raisethereef]

I use the AmazonBasics 35 foot active HDMI cable to run my BenQ 2050A off my Xbox One S. Might be slightly overkill but it was $25 and has great reviews. It is a thick, well built cable and is running perfectly.

[@OtomoTenzi]

That ain't SHIT... 'overkill' is when you buy expensive-ass cables that cost even more than all of your AV equipment combined. There are lotsa fools who actually do that, cuz they think its cool for their inflated egos or just have way too much money to blow. That's just being really fucking stupid if ya asked me, cuz cable specs and equipment will keep on rapidly changing and evolving like every year or two. Just get whatever that's cheap and works decently on your setup for now. Save up that money incase you might need to add things or upgrade anything later. Yeah, thicker cable shielding is a pretty safe bet on long runs of at least 15ft or more cuz it helps to block out any interference that might prevent the signal from reaching your TV properly (such as picture drop-outs). Fuck EVERYTHING you ever heard about ones and zeros, cable bandwidth, brand integrity, and all that jazz. As long as they carry a nice clean signal without any issues and aren't too overpriced, then ya prolly did OK!

[@ElectroSwingable]

Nicely explained

[@avantgardenovelist]

Great vid as always, thanks. I'm thinking of getting 25 foot mini hdmi to hdmi cables for my three gopro hero4 black cameras, which I plan on plugging into my Atem Mini switcher. Do you think I can run 1080 with them or am I limited to 720? Thanks!

Thank you for your always informative and helpful reviews. I just ordered the optical cable you recommended - my Epson 4010 4K projector is 36' from my Denon 6700 receiver because I have to run it up the wall and across the ceiling. They were running a promotion and I got 11% off on Amazon. So a 50' optical HDMI cable was actually $20 cheaper than a shorter one. Thanks!

Late to the Game on this video, I use the basic HDMI cable I had in a box, and it works great from the Receiver to the TV, (it was on that they give you when you get a new cable box) I use it on Sharp Aquos 65" the TV is about 10 years old and it still puts out a great picture when I use it on my DVD player

[@darkbunglex]

"because its digital it either works or it doesn't" that got a thumbs up from me. Yes there are a lot of audio/video "standards" but unlike analogue where every inch of cable and every connector is degrading the final product, a digital connection just needs to know if it is being sent a 1 or a 0. A degraded "1" is just as good as a perfect "1" to the computer (TV etc) receiving it. As such the cable either works completely perfectly or not at all (as a general rule). This is not magic so there is disadvantage too on digital cables that is, when they don't work they do it perfectly, as in no picture at all. If you instead sent an analogue signal on the same cable you would have at least some picture just not a good one.

[@StateofDecayScience]

Hey Chris!! I really have trouble choosing a way to run the video signal 50ft to my projector. I like to run the cable through the walls. So I figured, HDMI over ethernet are the best way since the ethernet cable can be cut and joint! Are HDMI over ethernet good? You haven't covered this topic yet. I am thinking about buying J-Tech digital 4k HDMI extender (JTECH-EX230 in amazon). Really love to hear your opinion about this!!

thanks for the help, must better service that the rep at worst buy. taking back their stuff today

[@rgruenhaus]

I was a cable company field tech and one customer had a $100 monster hdmi and it didn't pass a signal at all. Since i left that job in 2008 i moved on up to all 4K devices and my TV and Receiver are saying that i need better hdmi with the eARC. I have a Samsung QLED 65" and a TX-NR6100 ONKYO Receiver 4K. I just bought a Sony ubp-x800m2 and I'm waiting for that. I ordered the best HDMI that Ican find for a decent price of about $12 each with eARC 2.1 and HDCP 2.3 with a pass through of 48GB so I'm hoping my components can talk to each other and pass signal without flickers.

[@keepingupwiththejones2933]

Pixelgen cables for long runs make a huge difference in brightness, clarity and depth. They are worth the money.

[@cthedogg1993]

That's why from now on we buy cables that are 3rd party certified to transmit 18Gbps. I work with video distribution systems and long wire runs and cannot use basic 2.0 HDMI cables. Picture usually doesn't suffer but I have noticed that audio always does.

[@aerial_camera_video_imaging]

Thank you

[@matilija]

I'd like to add to this, that some HDMI 2.0 cables can pass HDMI 2.1 tests, length and wire gauge are primary factors in this, as technically, the pinouts are the same, it's only bandwidth across the connection points that has changed for the newer standards. Some heavier gauge shorter HDMI 2.0 cables will carry greater than 30 Gbs(I actually have a 6 foot one from Atevon that tests at the full 48 Gbs and works on my PC running 4k 120 at 4:4:4)of data, however longer lengths of the same cable may only pass 18 Gbs, typically, if you buy a good ~28-30 AWG 2.0 cable that is only 6 feet or less, it will likely work for the PS5 which is limited to 32 Gbs on it's HDMI 2.1 port as is, though the only way I have to test is using my Denon receiver, just plug from the cable into both input and output on the receiver and run the cable test, if it gets close to 35 Gbs, it's fine for the ps5, if it gets 40 Gbs or greater it will work fine for the XsX and PC...well, it needs to hit 48 Gbs on the PC if you use eArc from your tv/monitor to a receiver for sound, but 40 is plenty for 4k 120 at 4:4:4, and 32 is enough for the PS5 since it's limited to 4k 120 at 4:2:2. Basically, if you have a newer Denon or Marantz receiver with HDMI 2.1 you should be able to run a cable test on your cables and determine if they are good enough for your needs.

For those building a theater where they have to run some of the cables in the walls and ceiling, it is a BIG issue to get 8K and they should worry about it. Since who want to get a top notch 4K now and go through all of the construction, modifications, etc. only to rip open walls, dry wall, joists, etc. years down the line to install 8K. Better to go with 8K in that particular situation now, and have a good 12 -20 year life out of it before the next version of K comes out)
