Review on Aurum Ultra Ethernet Certified Supports by Christopher Millet

The cable is really thick and you'd think it would be nice, lots of shielding etc, but it's really not that great. The cable keeps crashing and dropping mid-frame data at 1080p - so you end up with a line of one-sixth of a second garbage every few minutes and lots of frame tearing (enabling VSync, etc.). cannot be fixed since the data frames are actually discarded). Everything seems fine at 720p, but constantly changing the screen resolution is cumbersome. I am considering switching to several short cables with active repeaters. I'll bet that introduces a few milliseconds of latency, but if you're already using HDMI, how bad can that be?
