True HQ Certified Ultra High Speed HDMI 2.1 Cable Review
Vložit
- čas přidán 26. 07. 2024
- We review the True HQ certified Ultra High Speed HDMI 2.1 cables (2m & 3m lengths) using the HDMI Certification app to verify their authenticity, as well as a Denon X2700H receiver and an LG C9 (with 48Gbps SoC) to test their HDMI 2.1 bandwidth.
Update 26 April 2021: True HQ has sent word that the reason the cables are different is because they are different models. There's a gold-braided version, while the certified grey cable is only available in 2-metre length.
Gold-braided version (3m) on Amazon*: geni.us/TrueHQBraided
Grey version (2m) on Amazon*: geni.us/TrueHQ

“Less stiff never thought I would say that!” Vincent you are so funny 😅🤣😂
im using 3m one about 1 month im very happy with it. I had occasional signal drop outs with cheap non certified cable
Thanks for testing...great idea to pick up this topic.
Apart from what you investigated I am convinced 2 mtrs. is no problem with most decent cables ... also 3 mtrs. will probably work with most of these.
Where it starts getting tricky is beyond 3mtrs. ... I recommend being very critical and cautious when buying a 5 mtr. cable or even longer ... make sure you can return it prior to getting one.
Hope you can review the Apple TV/ iPhone colour balance soon! We need your in-depth knowledge to push the industry forward to implement easier colour calibration! On my Sony A1 it seems to work well, the image pops more but I have no way of validating that it actually makes the picture more accurate;-)
I actually bought one of these cables in September last year. I was so worried because there wasn't really any certified back then. Zero issues and now a plus that they are certified. Going to buy another one for my PS5 because for some weird reason they ship the PS5 with a cable small than my...
Love the shades, friend. Outdoor tech reviews look good on you 💪
Proof of working 2.1 cables is appreciated.
Kenable branded 2.1 cables on Amazon UK are fully certified and super cheap.
Edit: But of course buy Vincent's one to support him
Helpful. Cheers!
it'd be cool if you did a test on the Belkin Ultra High Speed HDMI cables, since they refuse to get certification for their cables, but still advertise it as a "HDMI 2.1" cable.
I Appreciate your efforts man. thanks
I was just going to buy at the store an HDMI 2.1 , Thank you very much for this app ... I will go and check the QR code and update it here in 1 hour or so
Update they had a "PremiumCord HDMI 2.1, M/M, 8K@60Hz, Ultra High Speed, , 2m, black" They didn't have a package , no QR CODE just a BAR CODE I was so sus , asked them if they have anything with a Package they said NO , so I have 14 days return on this so I just installed , I wanna see if it works the BAR CODE IS 8592220020330 if anyone wonders
I went with monster HDMI for my XSX and LG CX, seems to be working well.
The hookups this man has. Nvidia sending him an rtx 3090. Also the insider information he gets before anyone else
That little *ting* sound every time Vincent Make a joke always gets me man 😂😭😅
I bought an lg g1 in Toronto thanks to this dude.
Ahh, the great outdoors 😁
Loving the sunglasses, Vincent
Loving that sparkle ✨on the glasses
Those are HDR specular highlights ;)
I love the Intro Music 😍
Bought 5 of these in November before certification was approved 2@m and 3@ m , cant fault them do exactly what they say they will
Vincent good video once again :). Are you going to test the apple tv update that has the colour balance calibration addition? Id love to hear your views on it :)
Did you wear that shiny watch and sit in the sun just for the glorious specular highlights?
Offcourse 5k-10k watch, their ugly too, I’ll buy the copy version is as good as the real one for $100
@@PlaystationProduction How do you know his isn't a copy?
Thank You MR Vincent ✔👍🍻
Gotta love CZcams stacking unskippable commercials before the good stuff .... Then the entire YT app crashes to the dashboard on the Xbox One X . Guess it can't handle Vincent's awesomeness in 4k HDR !
It would be nice to see comparison with cables without certification. How will they behave, are there any noticeable signs of bad cable and so on.
Vincent lookin fly with those shades!!!
I want to see him scan a cable that's not authentic just to see what message you get. "Your cable is trash! Sucks to be you."
I’m more curious about checking the actual performance. I believe a cheaper not certified cable can pass it no problem. Obviously not the trashy ones
Agree. It's not surprising that you can scan shiny things with a phone app released by people who sell shiny things. I want to see the extent to which this is all just hollow marketing. You need to compare with non-certified cables to show that.
Vincent looking fresh with the sunglasses
How many tests did you do? I've seen some tests that fail after a few tests, maybe 10. Did it pass every time.
Is there a computer software program similar to checking your 2.1 connection and bandwidth speed so you don't have to go out and spend $1,500 on a receiver? Or is there a cheaper alternative?
please vincent test input lag pc mode and console mode with oled c9
Do cables affect picture quality. I know it is a digital signal but are they anything else that effect picture quality.
Glorious Sunglass as well 👍👍
For reference can you show us what a failed scan for authentication looks like? Or does everything get a pass with code?
Using Zeskit 15 footer and Audioquest forest 48 5 footer for my main rig.
What kind of a lag will you get, or will you, with a 30ft hdmi 2.1 cable? Amazon now shows a cable by CableCreation that they say will support it and sell all different sizes and say they are sold with the hologram but I'm just assuming those lengths have lag? This is for those with wall mounted tvs and cables routing through the wall. :)
Can't find these on Amazon either by search or using your links Vincent. Are they no longer available OR is there another link you can post here ? Thanks
Bought one for my Sky Q box .... & Q90R FAB!!!!!!
Zeskit, Maxonar, Club3D, and Belkin are sellers that you could find on Amazon or a different storefront in Europe. I don't know why Euros always want to pretend that electronics or something else is more difficult to acquire for them. Most of these electronics sellers are international. Interesting enough, TrueHQ cables aren't being sold in America - along with a number of other Euro made products.
His humor is killing me every time
Yeah, he made two jokes after each other and didn’t even pling twice 😆
Can you do a video on your a90j calibration settings?
What do you think about the HDMI 2.1 cable from 3D Club? I think it's great but are there better cables? I want the best of the best.
would you prefer the AudioQuest HDMI 2.1 cable or the Rocketfish HDMI 2.1 cable ?
I was worried about buying an HDMI 2.1 on Amazon, but after watching this video and downloading the app (hdmi cable certification) I was all set. Thanks @Vincent_Teoh your videos are informative and hilarious to watch.
There's some certified UHS HDMI cables on Monoprice. Both go up to 25ft lengths, one is standard black, the other is braided black/gray.
The unbeatable ninja of Tvs :D
Great video thanks ….. question I have Yamaha RX-A2A can I do cable text ?
Only Vincent is making the personal sacrifices like filming in glorious HDR! Never change, man! PS, love those stiff, girthy cables! *DING*
Hi hdtv test.... first i would say love your content great videos .... Would like ask u if lg bx 2020 will benefit from 4:4:4 12bit 4k 120hz with this cable? I got rtx 3090....Thank u new subscriber here
Nice Submariner Vincent ⌚️
Had problems getting pc screen on my lg oled c1, when hdmi deep color was enabled I got no signal. Got another quality cable (Supra) and now it works without any problems.
Good video sir
Hi Vincent, is that a Seiko your wearing? :)
can you test if HDMI 2.0 can support 4k 120hz?
My old HDMI cable and my new supposedly 2.1 cable both run 4k 120hz fine. Not sure if my old cable is too good or my new cable is bad which is why I can't tell the difference.
Cables are passive, there is no "HDMI 2.1" cable. But if it says "Ultra High Speed HDMI cable" it should support at least 40gbps.
But if it's actually certified, it should be tested to work at the full bandwidth.
HDMI 2.1 specs features and bandwidth are determined by the source and receiving chipsets, not the cable itself. But the cable should be within a reasonable length for a given wire gauge for the signal to pass.
There are Active HDMI cables which are one-directional, great for longer lengths or wherever the signal needs a boost. But usually more expensive.
I see@@OMGtheykilledKenny42
Hi Vincent, any plans to get the new iPad Pro 12.9 to test it’s mini led screen? Also have you tested the new colour balancing on Apple TV’s with iOS 14.5? Would like to see a real professional’s opinion on it 😉
hi Vincent, i want to know if the HDMI Diagnostic is just a gimmick, cause i have Marantz SR7015 and do a HDMI cable test, by using HDMI 2.0b and it still call pass and 40Gbps
Can you tell me why my cables slightly pixelated when plugged in properly..
Hi Vincent. I recently tested a Zeskit cable with a LG CX and 6800xt and wasn't able to get either Freesync or VRR to work. Are you able to test this configuration or with a C1 as I would like to get a 48" as a monitor but am worried about compatibility? Thanks.
My 65cx+6800xt is working flawlessly by using china brand vention fibre hdmi 2.1
Vincent, how do you know that it is displaying full 4:4:4 chroma from that HDMI diagnostics screen on the C9?
RGB = 4:4:4.
Well you helped me decide to Get A LG C1 77' now I am looking to you (The EXPERT) But when I try to find these cables using the supplied link I get nothing like what you are testing, Nadda Zippo, Please Tell me what 10-12ft HDMI cables I should buy for a LG C1 using Xbox Series X (please give a link or replace the above link with a correct one) Thanks
VinnyT - can you please do a test of the new Apple TV's calibration feature where it uses the iPhone's camera to calibrate the Apple TV's output? Seems too good to be true
I've bought an uncertified cable as I was laying a new floor and didn't have time to wait for a certified one, it does full 2.0 fine but it's gonna be Russian roulette when I finally get a graphics card that outputs 2.1.
You know what to do when the time comes. Just upgraded all mine for peace of mind. Can't even get hold of a decent new GPU though 😀
Hi,,it is better than the original xbox series x cable?
I can't find the cable on your link
Is the Belkin Hdmi 2.1 Ultra High Speed cable actually certified and supports the 48gbps bandwidth?
That's what I'm running now but no one seems to know anything about them even when you go online you can't find any kind of testing. I'm trying to find a software program that you can install on your computer to see what's going on but not having such good luck
"Since the release of HDMI 1.4, the HDMI Licensing LLC group (which oversees the HDMI standard) has banned the use of version numbers to identify cables."
Because the cables are the same in all generations, the controllers in the devices change...
It may change the shielding, the frequency of twisting pairs or the impedance but yeah. I believe a cheaper uncertified cable will be capable of 48Gbps no problem
May the algoriddim be with you. ✌🏼
Cool glasses 😀😀😀
i am just puzzled about HDMI cables, i hooked 3 1.4 HDMI cables to LG C2 OLED TV and one of them works perfectly at 120hz 4k and even higher resolutions. stated as 1.4 cable was like 5$ the other 2 cables are expensive one was like 39$ and the other one a whooping 70$. i just have no idea how this cheap 1.4 cable is able to work like 2.1. i purchased it many years ago. i smell some kind of a scam about HDMI cables that customers are not aware of.
Vincent would fit right with the guys at Digital Foundry.
I tried finding these in Amazon does anyone know where to get them ? I can’t seem to find them
hey i see u got lg tv so do i, how to i get upp the host information page?
Please review the new m1 12.9 inch ipad . It has 1000 nits fullscreen, 1600 peak and over 2500 local dimming zones
Yes, but you didn't mention the price which I'm sure a lot of people are curious about.
£15.99
He put links in the description.
So what would make these better than $60 MONSTER certified cables?
Any discount codes for True HQ?
I love this uncle
Thumbs up on your Malaysian/Singaporean accent... Three=Tree... Huat ah...
I can’t wait for new technology in the cable branch, we need 8k usb-c type of cable for the feature of 8k streaming from device to television.
Hdmi don’t have a feature in the 8k
How about testing cables that are NOT certified?
HDTV TEST would a Sony 49xh950bu have a better picture quality than my current 2014 Panasonic 50ax802b TV
Is that Denon Receiver of good quality?
The braided type cables are a pain in tight quarters. I have one hooked up to my wall mounted Q950T sound bar and it's not ideal.
I thought Audioquest was HDMI Ultra High Speed Certified as well?
True HQ as advertised is not available for purchase, at least not shipped to Sweden..
I would just like to say, I was one of Vincents 1st 500 subs. Thats all.
Thanks for sticking around for all these years! :-)
Your Amazon link is not working!!! Please fix!
What's the gauge/AWG of these cables?
I just got a couple of "certified" hdmi 2.1 cables for a friend who just got an LG B3 OLED, and who also has an eARC compliant receiver. Shockingly, the audio return channel didn't work at all on one of the cables.
The certification sticker looked completely real, and I looked it up using the special hdmi forum app to verify that the certification was real. Maybe we just got unlucky, but when only one of the features doesn't work, you're not likely to even notice it until much later, and with the audio return channel ("ARC"), you might think that that you're not using the right settings or something. I was very disappointed. There's a good chance that it's related to poor design or poor manufacturing quality. The brand was "Faroume", and they were 2 metre cables.
My question is : Does cable pass 12 bit with RTX 3090 & TV LG C1 because I Have that setup.. Currently using Zeskit Maya 8kgbps certified ultra high speed cable.. I'm getting this 3840 x 2160 @120 .. RGB 10B 4L10 .. does this Hdmi your recommending get 12 bit ?
From a quick google search the LG C1 is the same bandwidth as the LG CX. 40Gbps limit. So you are at max bandwidth for the TV with that setup.
I currently use the Belkin High Speed hdmi cables from Apple recommended by MR4K. They're awesome. Can you compare them?
Apple doesn't make HDMI 2.1 cables
The Amazon links don't work...
Please , en Français , je ne trouve pas la marque de ces produits ????? un peu d aide svp !!!!!!!
@HDTVtest
Does those cables bring me any improvements over the HDMI Cables that are included in the Xbox Series X and PS5?
Yes, thats what we really need to know!
No, it's a digital signal. Either it works or it doesn't.
You will see some improvements. But it won't be world changing.
A cable works or it doesn’t. It won’t change picture and audio quality. Talking about digital signals off course.
@@tienstar7873 Yeah, the only time you "Might" see a slight change is in the event where you running a connection over 25 foot long. Since the more "Pricey" cable might have better shilding and hybrid glass fibers. Which will allow it better transfers consentacy and interference protections over a cheaper brand. But really I can't see anyone connectiong a PS5 to their TV with such a long Cable.
The only thing I can think of is if the Person is connecting their PS5 to a Mega Sized Home-theater setup or an Actual IMax theater. Lol
if anyone stumbles on this video here's what I use and is validated working in 4K 120Hz HDR on a LG C3 OLED (2023)
Club 3D CAC-1377 4K120Hz/8K 60Hz HDMI - HDMI 15m 49ft it's an optic fiber cable obviously
But can i trust the certification?
thx
need your help as you really understand this... I have a 3090 gaming card and a LG C1 tv and a ps 5 all using Zeskit Maya 8K 48Gbps Certified Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable.. My question is about Chroma Sub Sampling.. I want to make sure I'm getting the best quality setting graphically possible.. ok HERE'S WHAT THE TV SHOWS:
"PS5 SHOWS 3840 X 2160P @ 60 RGB 12B 4L8 " WHEN USING MY PC & CHANGING HDMI PORT TO PC ON LG : EVERYTHING TOP QUALITY I'M SEEING THIS
" 3840 X 2160P @120 RGB 8B4L10" .. Are these the max settings i can get? What about 12 bit ? Any help as no one can really help me.. thanks so Much !!
I got a "ruipro" hdmi 2.1 cable 15 meters to connect my rtx 3080 with my lg bx tv and it works perfekt (4k, 120hz, hdr, vrr, 4:4:4). But some games are still stuttering. As example: vrr works only when "cyberpunk" is running in native screen Resolution ( 3840x2160).
Or "gears five" is only running in vrr when the ingame Resolution is the same as the Resolution in the nvidia control Center. In some games, vrr isnt working at all (metro exodus, death stranding, final fantasy 15) no Matter wich Resolution. All games are running smooth when i disable hdr and put 4:4:4 to 4:2:0. Maybe its just because i have a bx instead of cx. Do someone have the same Problems?
Nice phone!
I would like to see the consequence of not having a good enough one...
There are none... Really, any half quality cable can stream 48gbps, as the hdmi iterations are for the controllers, not the cable...
As hdmi is a digital signal, signal degragation because of coroded cables doesn't alter the image quality
