Review on Ultimate High-Definition Experience: Pacroban 8K HDMI Cable White (10FT) by Daniel Bulkley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Never heard of them.

Now I grew up in a time when there were many cable brands like: Monster, Acoustic Research, RCA, JVC, Belkin, Sony etc. To my surprise they still exist - and these Prices are even higher than before! Then came HDMI. Many cable brands have made a lot of money selling cables. Monoprice came in with their hateful marketing style that told people cable was cable. They forgot to add WHAT the cable is made and HOW it is made to maximize transmission also plays a part in this - overall. Monoprice pioneered hating HDMI cables and speaker cables from many brands, but their main target was the monster cable. Well Monster is basically done and HDMI and DisplayPort cables have practically eliminated the need for all other cables! Unless you had old devices with analog cables, all you need is an HDMI cable. In TO, the point about digital transmission is a mono price with the right one being that the signal either gets there or it doesn't. However, digital signals can also be transmitted intermittently. Monoprice destroyed monsters and other brands. I didn't really need this Pacroban 4K cable, but when I bought it (right before the PS5 came out) I thought I'd need it in order for my TV to support PS5 features, so I had to get one. I've searched through many of my usual brands only to find (due to the above!) that I couldn't find any of the brands that I recognized! They all seemed similar so I settled on this one. This is a 40 Gbps cable that I used as the main cable from the receiver to the TV. If I ever get a PS5, I'll have to connect another directly from the PS5 to the TV. This cable is faster than previous 18Gb/s cables because it connects everything faster. I can't say whether the picture quality has improved, but nothing hurts. It looks like Monoprice doesn't make good HDMI cables unless they're powered. If you want to destroy companies, at least fill the gap! Monoprice's main casualty was the power cords of the Monster Cable Car amps with magnetic flux cords! They were BEAUTIFUL, clean with no distortion, strong connection! THAT was one of the things I hated for what Monoprice did to the cable business.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • I don't remember
