Review on πŸ”Œ Amazon Basics High-Speed HDMI Cable (18Gbps, 4K/60Hz) - 3ft White Cord for Superior Connectivity by Walter Day

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great cables if you buy the 6ft or less or non 4K version

Updating my review I bought these 3 kits and while the first cable worked fine on 4K 60fps signals the second and third did cable serious problems. I bought these to replace my old RevainBasics high speed cables (10.2 Gbps) but after purchasing an XBOX One X these cables prevented the XBOX from running in 4K. I had a similar issue with my Roku Ultra not working on the 4K 60fps setting. I decided to try them as they are rated at 18 Gbps. While the first cable I tried worked fine (no artifacts, flicker or other issues), the other two didn't work. I've also tried HDMI cables from Twisted Veins and had similar issues. Eventually I bought the Monoprice cables and had no problems. Most people have had better luck with these shorter cables (6 feet or less), but at 10 feet or longer I recommend looking elsewhere if using them on a 4K display. The two issues I've noticed with these cables at 4K 60fps are sparking or repeated signal loss. if you use them on a 4K display.
