Monoprice 4K High Speed HDMI Cable - 4K@60Hz, 18Gbps, HDR, CL2 In-Wall Rated, Active, 30ft, Black

You don't have to pay an arm and a leg for HDMI cables. Just don't.Digital signals are simple. Does the cable deliver the 1/0 to the destination? Then it works. A cable in a digital environment won't improve your picture quality. It either works or it doesn't. Rant over.Most short HDMI cables will carry, even a 4K HDR, signal to your source. Once you get over 15ft you have to make sure cables are high speed certified. Once you get over 25ft, if you want to carry a full 18Gbps signal, you'll need an active cable. Once you get over 50ft, then it's time to look at either fiber-optic HDMI or HDMI-over-Ethernet.I was over the 25ft mark, but still well short of 50ft for my needs. I opted for the Monoprice cable for my Epson 5040UB projector. It worked perfectly.Active HDMI cable have a source end, and a display end. Make sure to differentiate these before installing. Especially if you're running this cable in a wall/ceiling.These cable are certified to carry the full 18Gbps digital signal. So, 4K, HDR, 4.4.4 chroma, with full immersive audio will come down one cable.These Monoprice cables do all the things an HDMI cable should do. And, if is should fail (unlikely) they're cheap enough to replace without breaking the bank.

I spent months trying to figure out connection issues between my Amazon 4K Fire Stick and my Optoma 4k Projector. I spent money on 15 foot cables that didn't need to be spent.Then I upped my game, gave it one last try with this one-direction Active HDM cable.Immediately, all my connection problems disappeared. It was the cable that was the issue and this cable fixed all it!Don't be like me if you are doing a self install home theatre. Buy this cable first, to prevent headaches!

For years I had an HDMI cable running on the floor from my AV receiver to a projector. My wife hated the cable on the floor. So, a few weeks ago, I started looking for new cable. I ordered a 50 foot piece. Was too short. Ordered a 60 foot piece. Too short again. So I ordered this 100 foot piece. Installed it today and it worked! Very well. No picture issues at all. I really did not know about the "active" option for HDMI cables until recently. Otherwise, I would have gone this route sooner. The cable sheath is thick and should do me for a good while. I pulled this cable up an inside wall, up to the attic, then outside the house for 30 feet—(affixed it up against a roof underhang) then back into my house to our projector. If it works for a few years— Great! I know I'm not running it (outside) the way you should, but I'm happy. And my wife is happy. And my projector is happy. What else is there to like? I've run RG-6 cable in this manner to my subwoofer for 10 years without any issues, so I figure this will last just as long.

I rarely give items a bad review, but I am sick and tired of companies advertising 4K compatibility but not mentioning the fine details. "Oh, you wanted 60Hz?! No, no, we only support 30 Hz". I bought these 30ft Cabernet cables to use with my PS4 Pro 4K + HDR. I assumed it would work because of this bit of advertising: "Supports more High-Speed HDMI features, including 4K@60Hz". However, my TV goes blank multiple times per hour and finally Monoprice admits: "For these cables, we have seen issues with the PS4 for passing the 4:4:4 or really 4k at all reliably". Great... and due to circumstances beyond my control, as well as not knowing it was the cable that was the problem, I have missed my 30-day return window. Monoprice says I am out of luck. Monoprice is turning into a disappointment. 4K implementations and accessories seem to be a sea of half-truths and false advertising. This last bit has nothing to do with the Cabernet cables, but now I also find out that there is no way to get Dolby Digital+ audio over ARC or an optical out. I have to spend more money on a new audio receiver.... because the video changed. Thanks, HDMI org.Edit: I as am upgrading my rating, as the fact that the cable can do 4K @60Hz with a weak source like the PS4 Pro is noteworthy.

Works great!. The cable feels sturdy and well built. I abused it a bit getting it from my TV to the semi hidden nook containing my stereo equipment on the other side of the room, but it held up just fine. I bought the 45' version as I needed to run the cable through the wall, under the house and then back up into the location of my receiver. I wanted something that would be fairly future proof as well, as I don't enjoy crawling under the house all that much. This cable can handle pretty much anything you can throw at it including 3D and 4K so I'm good for the new few years (until some completely new standard gets pushed out, I suppose). I was a little nervous as I hadn't heard too much about the active cables, but I did some research and this is the real deal. If you are running your cable more than 25' or so, this is definitely the way to go.Do keep in mind, the cable is directional (the packaging and cable are labeled to make this clear). Thus, make sure you have the right end at each side while you are running it, or you'll have a bit more work on your hands.
