ZeskitCertified 2.1 8K HDMI Cable 48Gbps 4K120Hz Compatible with Soundbar eARC HDR10 VRR Dolby Vision Atmos HDCP 2.2 2.3 PS5 Xbox Series X Apple TV Roku (Ultra High Speed, Maya CL3 In Wall Long 15ft)

I bought an Apple TV a while ago and I thought it was terrible. Its menu screen would blink sporadically, and movies would blink on and off while I was playing them. When I played the Pandora app the music would continuously cut in and out and the screen would continuously blink. I was beyond frustrated. Then I realized that it was connected wirelessly to my home internet, so I figured there was a good chance that the wireless connection was the problem. Hence, I hardwired it to my router with a high quality Cat 8 ethernet cable to ensure a good, steady, and fast connection. But still, all of the problems persisted. After about 6 months I was about to consider the Apple TV experiment a lost cause and find a new solution.In one last ditch effort I thought maybe, just maybe, the HDMI cable connecting it to my Nakamichi soundbar could be the issue, even though I believed it to be high quality. I chose to research Ultra High Speed HDMI cables, even though my expectations were very low that this would solve anything. I bought two just to be safe. One I connected from my Apple TV to my soundbar, and the other I used to connect my soundbar to my TV (using the ARC connection). Once I received these cables I hooked everything up and viola - everything worked perfectly! I was very skeptical at first, but figured having new cables would be useful eventually anyway, so there was no harm in trying. I'm so glad I did. Now I love my Apple TV - finally.Since that worked I bought a couple more to hook up my Xbox One X, and now my brand new Xbox Series X (which I just received today) to my TV. The cables work amazingly well. They are super well-constructed and shielded, yet flexible enough to easily make the required connections.I'm telling you, I thought all HDMI cables were basically equal - but I found out that is not the case at all. These Ultra HD High Speed Cables make a real difference. Technology is outgrowing the previous version of HDMI cables (HDMI 2.0), but these are compatible with the new HDMI 2.1 standard and can move far more video and audio data perfectly. And for the price I consider these cables one of the best investments I have made in a long time. I take pride in my TV and component setup, and now my entertainment consoles and components work flawlessly together with my brand new TV. I never thought that a high-end entertainment system could be derailed by an HDMI cable, which I considered a mere formality just to facilitate the connections. Not anymore. And the price is right on point. If I purchase anything else that needs an HDMI connection, I am buying this brand again for sure. I will not so much as look at another brand or type of cable.One disclaimer: I cannot speak to how they work with 8K displays, because my new TV is a 4K HDR OLED TV, but they give me a great picture and support the latest gaming features, such as VRR (variable refresh rate). Although it sounds like I'm a hardcore gamer, I'm really quite casual - I just want the latest features to work since the components support the technology.I give this product 5 stars for sure. They rectified my initially miserable Apple TV experience and work with the latest gaming and TV technology. Who could ask for anything more? I probably sound like I work for the company or something, but if you view my profile you'll see I've reviewed tons of products over the years, and I have no affiliation to this or any other product I've reviewed. I purchased them on a long shot, just like anyone else. It just so happened to turn out that they were exactly the product I needed. I recommend these emphatically! F-I-V-E Stars!

My review applies, specifically, to the 16ft, 8k cable. For shorter cable runs, you'll likely be fine with a standard 4k 18Gbps cable. (Assuming you aren't worried about 8k in the future)This (16ft, 8k) is the cable to get if you want to be absolutely certain that it will work with every 4k-8k HDMI feature and standard at a longer length. I needed a 15ft or longer 4K cable to use with my monster gaming PC. Every other 4k cable I tried at longer lengths had some kind of short coming. The ones that could manage 4k@60hz would not also do 4:4:4 chroma and full dynamic range. Any time I tried to enable all of those features at the same time on other, cheaper long length 4k cables, the picture would flicker and sometimes cut out. Only the shorter 4k cable runs would manage to do it all at the same time. You could argue that 4:4:4 and full dynamic range isn't necessary and doesn't make a big difference. But if you're spending a ton of money on your displays, computer or other A/V equipment, I think you'd be aiming for the best picture quality. That said, this 8k cable will do it all. With a monstrous 48Gbps data rate, there is no signal this cable can't handle. If you need a shorter cable run, you'll be just fine going with a shorter 18Gbps 4k cable. But if you need something longer, this 8k cable is worth every penny.I've been running my PC games 4k@60fps with 4:4:4 and full dynamic range from a 1080ti and haven't seen any video anomalies in the few days I've been playing. I can also say that every other resolution and ultra-high framerates have been working flawlessly as well. Not to mention, it'll also do 8k in the future, if that ever becomes a widespread feature.This cable is extremely hefty and sturdy as it's rated for in-wall installation, so keep that in mind if you plan to use it outside of the wall like I am. It's flexible enough but you won't be making any super-tight, sharp turns with it very easily. But that's a good thing. This cable looks and feels like you could drive a bulldozer over it and not make a dent in it.Highly recommended and quite worth the money, unlike the flimsy, cheap feeling of so many other HDMI cables. If you need a fully capable 4k cable for a longer length run, this one is the best I've seen! Price is also very fair considering the length, build quality and technical specifications.Highly recommended!
