Cable Matters 3-Pack 48Gbps 8K HDMI Cable 2m with 8K@120Hz, 4K@240Hz and HDR Support
Because.
Cheap.
But only when need 3 or else expensive if need 1. No good. But good if you give to friend you love and family you love and keep 1 for your use then ok.
1m also at $22.99.
CamelCamelCamel.
It's a shame they don't have an alternate pack with 3 more colours. If I'm making wishes I'd also want them labeled with their specs/capabilities.
I've been using the longer version of these for a few years. Easy to recommend.
Anyone going to call out the specs? I believe they are hyped numbers if using DSC and lower Chroma subsampling. It's just HDMI 2.1 spec 4k120.
HDMI has turned into a bit of a nightmare. It should be mandatory under the standard to clearly label on the package and the cable what HDMI spec it meets.
They should've never started doing the decimal point versions.
This is the exact problem USB C and Bluetooth is having.
I doubt even the most tech savvy of us could tell the difference between Bluetooth 5.1 and 5.3, but you still feel bad buying something a version behind.
Are these only good for gaming?
They are good for anything
Do these support VRR? Some cables actually don’t, I recently found out this.
I have the 3m ones hooked up to PS5 and Series X. No issues with them at all with a 4K TV with VRR. The different colours for the cable ends can be handy if I need to know what is what behind the TV since in my case I run the cable through the wall cavity to a mounted TV.
Nice. I like. Because. Is good.
The 1 metre one is 2/3rd of the cost - also in a 3 pack.
Depends on use case, but they seem the exact same specs beyond that - might be better for some.
edit: Just saw the last line on OP's post covered this.
