Third Time iVanky Charm

So I bought a mini form factor computer with the intention of turning it into a media computer for my home theater system. It came with DisplayPort connectors, no HDMI, but was sold at a great price. I figured I could buy an $8 DisplayPort to HDMI adapter, plug in the high-speed HDMI cable I already had, and race. There is no such happiness. I have the cheapest adapter I could find here at Revain. While video quality was generally good, 4K at 60Hz but no HDR, audio suffered from pops and clicks and what I can only describe as "digital static". Not good. Then, a few days later, both video and audio suddenly and randomly cut out; My TV screen went black for 10-15 seconds and then came back. Thinking the problem was with my computer, I called the manufacturer. We spent about 45 minutes fixing the phone. Everything pointed to a problem with the adapter so I bought another, more expensive one, again here at Revain. With the new $13 adapter, the video was only 1080p, but the audio was much better. Since I primarily use my media computer as a music server and HD music streamer, I've decided to live with lower video resolutions. And then they passed out again, worse than ever. That's when I found this iVanky adapter/cable. I've had it for three weeks now and it's perfect: 4K @ 60Hz, HDR; the sound is clear, without "digital interference"; and I have not experienced a blackout alone. Don't waste your money on something cheaper. Spend a few bucks more and get an adapter that works the way it's advertised, right out of the box. Thank you iVanky!
