4K cables are different

I have an LG 9500 4k OLED TV and I connected it to an Apple TV 4k. Initially I used a simple black 4k cable that I use when I travel (for connecting a non-4k computer to the room TV). ATV 4K can use 4K HDR 60Hz or 4K SDR 60Hz. I selected 4K HDR 60Hz and my TV screen started flickering. The TV stopped flickering when I reset the setting to 4K SDR 60Hz. After some Googling I read a post about buying a cable that said 4K High Speed/HDR/UHD etc. I also read that it is not worth saving and buying an expensive, but high-quality cable. My cheapness prevailed and I gave this cable a try. Mainly because of the reviews. I can report that with this cable I can tune ATV 4k to 4K HDR 60Hz and it went through and installed 4:2:2 chroma instead of the default 4:2:0 chroma. Quality product, great value for money.
