  • @DrMasonStorm
    @DrMasonStorm Pƙed rokem +3

    Hi FOMO! Thanks for all the great videos. The expensive AudioQuest HDMI cables you mentioned are not for home theater use; I can’t imagine them making a big enough difference to be worth their price in such a use case. They are really only for use in ultra high-end HiFi audio systems, where cables make a very big difference in the sound for critical listening. This week I obtained one such cable, and am using it as the I2S interface cable from a PS Audio SACD transport into a Holo Audio May KTE DAC. The main transducer system I use with this setup is a HiFiMan electrostatic headphone system, which is known as a ruthless microscope into the source material. In a system with this kind of resolving power, it is VERY easy to hear the difference cables make, this signal cable being no exception. But again, it is most definitely NOT for use in a home theater rig, where neither the sound equipment nor the video signal could possibly be made that much different by it while simply playing a movie.

  • @3chrizzl

    Great video! My 2c on Audioquest cables based on my experience using and selling them-- for video, i doubt anyone would notice any difference at all. Either they work or they dont. For audio, it is a whole 'nother ball game. I've done the tests, and you can clearly hear a difference from a $5 cable to a $50 or hundred dollar one. Beyond that, clearly diminishing returns. With that being said, we are talking about speakers that are at minimum 2 grand for a pair with high end receivers etc to hear the difference. if you are using a home-theater-in-a-box or soundbar, of course the exotic cables aren't worth it. Point #2--for people who are building a 10k, 25k, 50k, 100k home theater, they arent going to hook everything together with a $8 cable. In the grand scheme of things, a $75 or $150 cable is pretty cheap. Looking forward to more content!

      @richellebrittain2127 Pƙed 4 lety +2

      If it's analog (including speaker wire on modern digital AVRs), an audiophile MIGHT be able to tell the difference between cheap & expensive cables. Nearly everything else is now digital; as long as the next device receives it accurately it will be perfect.

  • @robertphillips4155
    @robertphillips4155 Pƙed 3 lety

    Thanks for the info. For me, the reason to spend a few dollars more and get HDMI 2.1 is so I don’t have to buy new cables as I upgrade my equipment. The difference in price is minuscule. Especially if you are running them through the walls. I have an old TV but just got a Sonos Arc. For various reasons I need some new cables. My TV is too old for ARC but the Sonos sound bar is capable of eARC. Spending a few dollars more and getting 2.1 means I don’t have to buy new cables later when I upgrade my TV.

    Not sure if you read these comments or not but Ill take a chance.
    I enjoy your videos and have learned a lot from you over these past 6 months.
    I am very active on reddit and I enjoy helping others when it comes to my experience with 4k tvs.
    In one board I was twice banned for either linking one of your videos or once just for mentioning the video.
    I dont like bullies.
    So I decided to start a new sub where people who want to discuss 4k tvs can do that and share links to video content like yours that will help others or at the very least give them another thing to think about as they ponder which tv is best for them.
    I limit the videos I source and link too, to only 4 or 5 content creators, you, HDTVTest, Digital Trends, Rtings, and randomly here or there maybe one or two others.
    I wont advertise or link the sub here as I am not trying to spam you and the fact is I only set it up the other day and have only 1 member so far.
    I have a lot of work to do to hopefully build it up with good information and attract people to it and build a reputation as a great place to come for good information with a friendly vibe and no censorship over sharing videos from youtube that are helpful when discussing 4k tvs.
    I love talking tech, learning new things, seeing what the industry does as a whole and its response to changes that come and go, I just really enjoy it and am an avid viewer of this type of content.
    Is it alright with you that I share your videos and reference your work in my reddit sub?
    I make and read comments on these videos as well, but I think over time they stop getting any attention or replies and I think the forum is a better place to archive some of this stuff for folks that come around looking for information and have questions months after the videos are made.
    As questions pop up on Reddit I often will refer to a video you made several months or weeks earlier and it creates a new discussion on the same topic with people who werent aware of your channel or the video before hearing it in the forum.
    I hope that you dont mind my sharing your videos and content and I hope that I can help others along the way who are just learning some of this stuff while trying to make an expensive purchase for their next tv.

      As long as the cable is certified "HDMI High Speed with Ethernet" it should work with ARC or eARC. "High Speed" is 18 Gbps; ARC & eARC use the HDMI wires originally intended for Ethernet (a mostly redundant feature when most devices have WiFi).

I am looking to buy HDMI 2.1 kabels for my Ps5 and Series X and would like to know if there is a certain length where latency starts or the signal will get a little bit less powerful. The kabels that came with the ps5 are only 1,5 Meter. I think I need around 3/5 Meters, I play a lot of competition shooters where you want the fastest and best signal going in my LG65GX. Does it matter the length of the kabel?

    Once I had a cable that worked out of the box for my PC and monitor fine, and at some point I started watching some visualization on my screen with fast moving images and the screen went black every time I run it on the desktop. It was not even a game. In games the cable also worked... The cable was made to just "work" until it met something that caused not to work... I got faster cable and no more problems after that.

    Funny I came across this video. I asked this question in another one of your videos before doing a search in your channel. I have a question, is the wire, the 2.0 Monoprice better than the standard hdmi cables that come with devices? I ask because I use a very good higher end android box to stream my movies. I currently just use the hdmi cable that came with the device. In my case would this Monoprice hdmi cable make a difference for the better? Thanks, and love your channel.

    Hey! Thanks for the awesome video. I bought a Samsung q80t and bought a 5 meter long 48gbps hdmi copper cable. I connected it to my nvidia RTX 3080 and the picture quality is horrible in HDR. With HDR off it gets a bit better but still terrible, blacks are pixelated and washed out and dark scenes are terrible. Would it be my hdmi 2.1 cable causing this because its too long? Thank you :)

    Appreciate all the great info you share with us. Have a quick question though. I have a Samsung Q90T plugged to a denon 4700H via an audio quest cinnamon. I got that wire after having a series of issues with eARC. The sound keeps on clipping when watching Netflix. I had a lower tier AV receiver, so I upgraded it, and I tried a bunch of different HDMI cables that claimed to be eARC compatible, but continue having the issue. Any idea why this may be happening? I’ve looked through all the receiver’s settings and the TV settings, but still no luck. Thanks again!

    Thank you so much for your tips ! One question regarding HDMI 2.1 cables when using an AV Receiver (new Denon X 3700H that has 8K port as you probably know). I understood that an AV receiver will adapt all connections to the lowest resolution it receives. Does it mean we have to only buy hdmi 2.1 cables for every ports of an AV receiver as far as we have one source that will really run with HDMI 2.1 (PS5 for example) ? I am a bit lost on this point. I will have an LG CX + PC for gaming + PS5 + Denon receiver, do I need to buy as many HDMI 2.1 8K cables so that the Denon does not downscale everything because of one source that would not have HDMI 2.1 8K cable (PC for example) ? thanks for your precious help as well as the quality of your videos !

    I think it's worth it looking for the premium certified label for HDMI 2.0 cables and ultra certified for HDMI 2.1 when buying HDMI cables. I say this since I've tested plenty of HDMI cables and lot of noname brands aren't able to hit the minimum required 18gbps just for the HDMI 2.0 causing all kinds of annoying drops or other mysterious issues making it tough to troubleshoot bad TV, console, Apple TV, etc.. Quick way to test this is to try enabling or running RGB 4K@60hz since that will hit near the 18gbps limit 4K 60 4:4:4 (no HDR) = 17.82Gbps. Also won't be able to enable HDR in Windows 10 with weaker cables since won't handle higher required bandwidth! Cheaper cables won't be able to do it and I'd return those or get rid of them.

    I currently have a 55” 4K HDR LG (UJ6300) and I have the PS5 preordered. I’ve watched your recent videos on what specs to look for in a gaming TV and I plan to buy a new one next year. So as of right now, I don’t need HDMI 2.1... however, I can get a big discount on AudioQuest cables, and with my PS5 already preordered and my plans to upgrade my TV in the next 1-2 years, would you recommend just buying the higher end HDMI 2.1 now?

      @@TheHabitualWordsmith be careful with promotion videos. Not saying it’s a bad cable but he’s definitely pushing his own link. You don’t have to overspend but no reason to underspend. I’m a firm believer in you get what you pay for. I also know Amazon can have QC issues and would rather spend $15 on a future proof 2.1 cable of decent build quality knowing it’s going to last at least a decade
 as it should. Using cheap subpar materials is a crapshoot for longevity. Again you don’t need $100 cable but I’m a buy once cry once guy. However, I wouldn’t spend over $30 on a cable and if I’m spending $20-$30 it’s because I want a braided cable that’s fairly flexible because I’m afraid it could put undo stress (probably not though) on the hdmi port. But something to be said for future proofing because HDMI 2.1 is good enough

    I just wanted to thank this guy. I just got a "new" Q70r and saw this video yesterday. And realized that my sound bar and PS4 are hooked up to old pre-4K era HDMI cables. I ordered the Monoprice 4K cables and ordered the 6ft cables for $6-7 each. So i got the two and literally like an hour before my shipment came in today, the PS4 picture would not show on my Q70. I didn't have to wait long and switched the cables and it was back to normal. Thanks!
