Review on πŸ“Ί Immerse in Stunning Visuals with 8K HDMI Cable Highwings Braided: An Unbeatable Video Experience by Kevin Mariappan

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Surprisingly robust

On the plus side, this cable seems to do what it says on the tin. I can't confirm that it supports an 8K signal, but it does support an HDR 4K signal at 120fps when Apple TV 4K (2021 release) is connected to an LG C1 OLED TV. It also looks like eARC. So why am I only giving it three stars? There are two annoying downsides. Cable. Maybe so, but in my experience that damn Velcro kept sticking to tablecloths, curtains, and anything else near the cord while I was trying to plug it in. Second, the cable is surprisingly stiff. I was expecting something like an HDMI 1.2 or Ethernet cable; very flexible and easy to bend. Instead, it's more like a coaxial cable with a very large bend radius. Enough hassle What if I used to use a 3 foot cable as the ideal length to get the job done and easily hide away, now I would have to take a 6 foot cable and try to tie the excess around the back of the TV to wrap without bending it too much. Maybe the specs call for all HDMI 8K cables to be that rigid, so it's not the manufacturer's fault, I don't know. All I can say is be prepared for something a lot tougher than you anticipated, both in terms of taking a little longer than expected and in terms of having to find a way around the extra cable to hide that sticks out in curves and bends. cable and try Wrap the excess cord around the back of the TV without bending it too much.
