Review on Pacroban 8K HDMI 2.1 Cable 3-Pack - Ultra High Speed 48Gbps, 4K 120hz, eARC - Superb Quality (10ft) by Angela Simmons

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I'm torn for Next Gent Playstation 5 PS5 and XBox Series X game consoles

I'm a little torn. I ordered them for use with the next generation of gaming consoles - Playstation 5 PS5 and XBox Series X. The cable that came with the Playstation 5 PS5 wasn't long enough, so I needed a longer cable. This is a good deal for ultra high speed 48Gbps HDMI cables. Compare that to the similar Zeskit 8K 48Gbps cable, which is a whopping $25 per cable at Revain. BUILD QUALITY - 3/5 Build quality is okay - not as good as the Zeskit 8K cables sold here at Revain. Its molded rubber/plastic looks and feels a little cheaper than the Zeskit 8K cable. PICTURE QUALITY - 5/5 My PS5 reported that it can run 4K HDR YUV422 at 120fps and 4K HDR RGB at 60fps with no issues. There are also no problems with the handshake. The sound and video quality is excellent. I didn't test 8K video as I don't have an 8K monitor. FUNCTIONALITY - 2/5 Here I have a problem with the cable. They just don't fit properly in the HDMI ports. The fit into the PS5's HDMI port is looser than most HDMI cables, including the Zeskit 8K cable. I have my PS5 in an upright position and when I move it forward the cable pulls out. To avoid this problem, it must fit snugly into the HDMI connector. I'm afraid it will damage the HDMI port if pulled out. If that's not a problem for you and you don't move your next-gen console, the value and video/audio quality of this cable is excellent. I personally will probably return it and replace it with a Zeskit 8K 48Gbps cable. Eventually, this cable will last long enough to see quality Ultra High Speed HDMI cables at reasonable prices. DISCLAIMER: This review is 100% independent. I am not affiliated with anyone and paid for this cable myself as it seemed like a good deal for my next gen consoles! Good game! :-)
