Recently my Samsung KS8000 broke down and I bought a Sony X950H. Great TV but couldn't get ARC to work consistently. Once I get it working after turning it off and on again things don't work. I would have to unplug and plug the TV back in while the receiver is already on (Denon) for it to work again. Very unpleasant. I used an HDMI cable that I bought specifically for my KS8000 3 years ago and it worked great with the KS8000. Since I haven't used eARC, I figured it would work with Sony too. I was wrong. After reading about people who found an 8K cable that solved their problems, I decided to give it a try and bought this cable. This WORKS and fixed my problems with ARC. Now everything works fine every time you turn on the TV.ProsQuality theme. Fairly flexible plastic/vinyl cover (heavier than shorter versions, probably due to the 16ft length). Good and tight fitting connections. Fixed my problems with ARC. Cons: Not really. If you are having trouble with ARC, try this cable
