Review on CableDirect'S 8K/4K HDMI Cable With AIS Shielding - 15Ft, High Speed & Ethernet Supported For PS5, Xbox, Switch - Designed In Germany by Brion Pine

I have just swapped to a new Dell Inspiron i7 laptop with windows 8.1 and plugged in my old 16' generic HDMI cable to my Integra 9.8 Receiver and found that all I got were delays and the slightest nudge or movement of my legs caused skips and lags. If I tried to type in word or any other program things quickly got unlistenable.My first thought was that Dell had gone cheap and perhaps a wireless rig like Chromecast would provide for audio connectivity for my PC to my AV system. After Google tried to upload my music library, (5K songs) and failed, all while providing mid-fi sound with limits to what programs it would play with,I researched the KabelDirect HDMI cables on Revain. It was encouraging to see positive reviews accross the board, transfer speeds of up to 18 BPS, and low cost as well.Chromecast was quickly returned, and for the same price I purchased a 15' Flex series cable for my Laptop, 3, 3' Top series cables for my Iview DVR/Tuner, Roku 3, and Sony BlueRay player and a 6' Top series cable from the 9.8 to my Phillips LCD. Fantastic results as follows:The Dell laptop is now error free. If I physically move the HDMI plug in the socket, yes I can get it to skip, but no issues with moving my legs, setting my laptop down or having multiple programs open, typing or surfing. Output from Itunes, Foobar 2000, Pandora 1, Sky Radio, and others is outstanding. Performance from my other sources was improved, and I am using HDMI for audio for all sources except from the LCD tuner which I use Coax, (If I I am watching on-air and also recording to the Iview DVR). The video quality from the Iview (upconvert on-air to 1080P is excellent, and BlueRay out put from my Sony BPD S570 is excellent as well. I'm glad I got rid of cheap HDMI cables and for the price of a Chromecast, updated every element of performance of my AV system!Thanks KabelDirect!
