HDMI cable advice from a pro

As a professional in the technology industry, I give this advice about HDMI cables. 1. Don’t use the cable that came with the device. They are often HDMI 1.4 and of low quality. 2. HDMI 2.1 cables only. They are the most capable and will future proof your setup for years to come. 3. Use the shortest HDMI cable you can get away with. The longer the cable, the more chance you have of signal noise.I go with one of two aftermarket cables depending on the situation.Low to mid range configurations:For basic TV streaming, BluRay players, or lower resolution gaming consoles like the Nintendo Switch, I prefer the KabelDirekt cable. The price can't be beat for what you get.This level of cable can occasionally have issues with 4k 10-bit at 60hz (Xbox One X, PS5) and HDR10 encoding in movies. HDR10+ or Dolby Digital have never worked for me with the KabelDirekt cable.High end configurations:Fusion8k is my reliable, go-to cable for high end since the latest video sources and TVs support HDR10+ and Dolby Digital. They've also been perfect to meet the demands of the latest gaming consoles like the PS5. Fusion8K are worth it for me where I invest the most in quality devices so that I don't have to waste time in troubleshooting issues.

Pros
  • Picture quality was good. Cord is nice and short.
Cons
  • Might have issues with firmware updates
