50 " cable, Full HDR10 and Dolby Vision, Perfect Image

The 50" version now works between my 75" Sony X900F receiver and Yamaha RX-V385. Room for 6 months (HDMI 2.0b and HDCP 2.2 compliant) but I was never able to enable Dolby Vision on my Xbox One X due to "snow" and the image went black once for about 1/2 second even without this feature enabled . Pretty disappointing to have such a good setup. Speaking to a few people in the office, I learned that the cable is very close to its maximum rated bandwidth of 18.2 Gbps at its maximum setting. Normally that would be fine, but more than 50 feet of line loss plus the proximity to the parallel speaker cables seemed enough to cause bad packages despite the thick cable and good cable shielding. cable, and the difference in quality was RIGHT NOW visible to me. The hardware I'm using was smart enough to filter and fix some of the problems caused by the old cable that weren't obvious when watching it, but switching the cable was like switching from VHS to DVD. I sat and watched the 3 episodes of Planet Earth II that I had already watched just to marvel at the difference they made. one of them shot. Worth every penny.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
