Monster Black Platinum Ultimate High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet and Performance Indicator - 5 m. length

I bough this to future proof my home cinema connection and this was supposed to be put inside the wall cavity to hide the wires - I am so glad I checked the quality of this lead before I did this. I tried to pass 4k HDR and Dolby vision through my Denon AVR and all I got was a blank screen. So just to test that it did not like my Denon, plugged my 4K Apple TV directly into into the TV with this lead and it would not show HDR, just SDR - I have a short cable that I paid £10 for which can do that! - don't fall for the hype - these are rubbish.

Having used this with a Sony 4K Uhd bluray player and Panasonic OLED TV, when I feed the TV in standard full HD it works flawlessly. Now, this is where it falls down. Try to display any 4K content, and the screen is filled with flickering white speckles everywhere. I ended up finding my way back to my trusty old £10 HDMI cable from Wickes which works perfectly for 4K, and that's not even rated for 4K or HDMI 2.0 compliant!

Tried other 5 metre cables but did not work on ARC. This Monster done the trick. 1 click for turning on or off 3 devices. Highly Reccomend. 5 ***** Best quality around. Would buy again.

Expensive but worth it. The picture quality is great. A good quality hdmi cable is the way to go.

Excellent

The cable cannot even output a 4k 50/60 4:2:2 8bit signal!I bought this to replace a, far cheaper, 18Gbps cable that stuttered at 4k 50/60 4:2:2 10/12bit. And yet this “27”Gbps cable fails at even outputting a 4k 50/60 4:2:2 8bit signal! Nothing, the projector just says “No input detected”.I’m shocked!

Best hdmi I've used

Zero difference from a basic £10 HDMI cable - don't waste your money! AAnyone rating this as a 5 star "best thing I've ever purchased" or has convince their self it has a difference in picture quality; is just trying to justify their pointlessly expensive purchase.It's like a Dyson - over-engineered and needlessly expensive.
