I had a customer order this cable for an install. I decided to give it a try because the title said that the cable was certified. However, this cable comes in a plain bag without the QR code to verify the certification status. It worked fine, but I'm not convinced that it is what it claims to be without the QR code proof. As a professional in the technology industry, I give this advice about HDMI cables. 1. Don’t use the cable that came with the device. They are often HDMI 1.4 and of low quality. 2. HDMI 2.1 cables only. They are the most capable and will future proof your setup for years to come. 3. Use the shortest HDMI cable you can get away with. The longer the cable, the more chance you have of signal noise. I go with one of two aftermarket cables depending on the situation. Low to mid range configurations: For basic TV streaming, BluRay players, or lower resolution gaming consoles like the Nintendo Switch, I think a cable like this Cable Matters cable will work just fine. The price is right and these types of configurations don't require a lot of demand. This level of cable can occasionally have issues with 4k 10-bit at 60hz (Xbox One X, PS5) and HDR10 encoding in movies. HDR10+ or Dolby Digital have never worked for me with the these basic cables. High end configurations: Fusion8k is my reliable, go-to cable for high end since the latest video sources and TVs support HDR10+ and Dolby Digital. They've also been perfect to meet the demands of the latest gaming consoles like the PS5. Fusion8K are worth it for me where I invest the most in quality devices so that I don't have to waste time in troubleshooting issues. UPDATE: I've been struggling with some of the plastic molded connectors over long lengths with DolbyAtmos lately. Longer version of this cable could have the same problem. I'll leave my original rating since I reviewed it as a budget cable based on cost and construction, but I'll be sticking with upper end like the Fusion8K cables I mentioned in my original review due to its heavy duty construction and certification for longer cables.

I like having the different colors as my receiver has multiple inputs and this helps me figure out what device goes to which input. Plenty of length and no issues with the quality.

Using this cable with my Fire TV Cube and Xbox and it works perfectly. The picture is sharp, HDR and 4K stream without any issues, and I haven’t seen any flickering or dropouts. The connectors feel sturdy, the cable is flexible enough to route behind the TV, and it locked in firmly on the first try. If you just need a solid high-speed HDMI cable that does what it’s supposed to, this is a great choice.

I have been using their cables for the last five years. Added 2 new longer ones and they deliver the same high quality performance. Fantastic brand. Color coding has been a life saver.
