The Best HDMI Cables - Don't Get Ripped Off!! 

Like the straight answer, no B.S. videos you throw out. Genuinely informative and helpful. Great channel

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

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

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.

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!

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.

Thank you for this review, I think you did the best job ever explaining this, great information and explanation on the tec side of this!

Glad I found this channel! Your videos are so good!

Thank you for this vid! You saved me some money and time. I already had a high speed HDMI cable and it works great!

Excellent to the point video. Good visuals. Make sure to stay VERY accurate and people will live with you daily.

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.

Straight answer, and really helpfull, i think for most of the cases the standard 1.3 is enough. Thx!

i also go the same 4k cable from amazon that is literally $7 and works great for my 4k gaming PC. Great video Chris!

Thanks for the info man! This helped a lot!

Clicked on the video. Looked at the shirt and said hey I’m wearing that same one. New Sub!

I agree what u said!! About time someone posted a video on this!!

Thanks for the info. That was really helpful and straight to the point.

Great informative videos! Keep them coming! Subscribed ✅

Do a video on Dolby vision,hdr,hlg and about codecs..

I came here searching for a cl3 rated in wall cable and I bought the Amazon basics on your recommendation and works flawless ... Well made cable and supports all my applications ... Good call

much help. spent 100$ on two hdmi cables some time ago. great vid

Thank you for making it simple to understand. I agree with Austin below, a straight answer, no B.S. Keep up the great work.

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.

Thank you Chris i had been wondering what to buy thank you for making this clear to me ;-)

literally bless you, I was about to drop $30 on an HDMI cable. this was super well explained and concise, thank you!!

Great video! I was wondering about this! Thank you!

Thank you! This was very informative. 😘 I bought an hdmi cord from Goodwill for $2. I don't have a compatible device to test it on *yet* .

Great video!!!! I'm going to check out some fiber optic HDMI cables!

I have an Acer chromebook with 2.0 hdmi and Thunderbolt 4 ports, and a 43" TCL 4k UHD. What would be better, hdmi to hdmi or Thunderbolt to hdmi? Great channel, man! Glad I found it.

Gteat vid. I needed this.

Great job Chris. I love the aesthetics of your channel.

great info B-mo, MW from DC

You're awesome! Hey love to hear how not to get ripped off!!!! Yeah!!

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".

Nicely explained

GREAT VIDEO!!!! thanks

You rock dude!

thank you for this video

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!

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.

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

amazon basics really have hit the mark with hdmi cables,own a few of them and they really are top quality for sensible price

Thanks so very much. thumbs up

Monoprice slim certified cables for me. Easy to bend and fit into tight spaces, affordable and have been certified to pass the bandwidth that's claimed.

Right on my brudda✊🏾. Save'n me time and money 👌🏿

Thank you!

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.

Thank you...well done.

Thank You Sir!

Excellent.

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!

Cool Video 👍👍👍👍

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.

I had to get a higher quality cable to allow 4k 60hz hdr to work from my Xbox one x to my 30 ft projector run. I'll have to run another one in many years when 8k projectors become a reasonable price.

Great video! Im getting the series X whenever it releases so hopefully this’ll help out getting 1440p on my monitor

I used to work at Best Buy and those damn $100 cables or anything like that are marked up like 90%. No joke.

YOU ARE THE MAN

Thank you 🙏

Gotta say I upgraded to a 4k last year (which is also used as the PC monitor due to lack of room) After buying and returning 3 different HDMi 4k cables, I took a punt on Amazon basics. I honestly can't recommend them enough. Best cable I have used that supports 4k at 60hz. Shame this video didn't exist when I was dealing with it all, would have saved me a lot of hassle.

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 Chris.

Thank you very much.

my favourite was are the ones that promise improved image quality and signal. and its like the signal is digital.

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

THANK YOU! A cool, collective voice of reason in a field of insanity

0:51 you know I thought that for years too until three years ago when I tried using the HDMI cable that came with my Xbox 360 with my Xbox One. I thought my Xbox one was broken because I got no picture. I switched to the cable that came with the Xbox one and I got a picture. The Xbox 360 cable wasn't broken or damaged because it worked with the Xbox 360 but it flat out refused to work with the Xbox one. Also I was not trying to use 4K with the cable. I had the Xbox set to 1080p 30Hz which is what my TV was three years ago. So it's not always as simple as it's a digital signal do it just works but I do agree that super expensive cables are a complete waste of money.

Thanks Chris

I started following ur channel a little bit ago already so knowledgeable n broken down in a simple understanding sence on how to do without being over whelming in any sence that said, from what ive watched it seems u might have the knowledge to help. So heres the scenario. I got a 4k uhd firestick Vizio tv 4k hdr. Etc. n vizio sound bar 5.1. but everytime i go to play play music thru my fire stick for the surround sound audio speakers it switches the input to the sound bar when I launch a song with say a echo dot as n example n it wants to play but it switches input causing me to manually switch the input back to the the fire stick input where it is playing. My sound bar is in my arc port also. Be very great ful if u could looking at hubs also of they help.

I bought 2 hdmi and fibre optic too and Al 10 metres long and all work for only 10 pounds each. this works for. 4k her Atmos. Amazon bbasiccs seem to be great

Super helpful. Dope ass shirt.

I got a custom made cable on eBay to run a long distance to a monitor. Good price for length.

Hello Chris, love your video's, I am about to purchase a Epson 6050 UB projector and a Denon AVR-X3700H, my distance from my projector to my cabinet thru my attic down thru the rear wall is 40 FT to 50 FT, I have been studying that for this distance I should use a "Fiber Optic Cable" could you please give me your recommendation where to purchase a HDMI Fiber Optic cable that would work just fine with this setup ??? Thank you soo much!
