Not quite perfect but works well so far

Cable works well so far. I use it to connect my TV to an Nvidia 1060 graphics card on my gaming PC that I wanted to move to the other side of the room so it's out of the way. Hence the 25 foot length. It's a bit thicker than I'd like, but again, it has a pretty solid build quality, so I guess it's a compromise. The HDMI sockets are on both sides and therefore do not inspire much confidence, but there were no real connection problems. I had speckles and a slight flicker where the image flickered a little then it appeared recently. And I thought, "Oh great, let's go." expect that it will be a hassle. However, this pessimism turned out to be unfounded, as the problem was solved simply by reinstalling the cable on the TV side. Mainly because it's quite long for an HDMI cable, this cable worked well for the first few weeks. No picture quality issues other than the one off mentioned above. HDR of Windows 10 PC is fine, 4K display is fine, games are perfectly fine with this cable. In my case, I haven't tested Dolby Vision, 8k, ARC, etc., which would really increase the throughput of an HDMI cable, but it's designed for those applications and I have no reason to doubt it. In general, the purchase is satisfactory. Docked one star due to the minor issues mentioned, but overall I'd still recommend it, as it works well and I have had the worst experiences with HDMI cables in the past. Just remember
