Insignia™ - 4' 4K Ultra HD HDMI Cable - Black

Bottom Line: the Insignia 4' 4K Ultra HD HDMI Cable supports the latest 4K HDR standard, so you can buy confidently knowing it'll be compatible with your new devices. Review: Don't be fooled by the marketing hype! HDMI delivers a digital signal, so there's no difference in signal quality between this or a more expensive cable. This cable is compatible with all the latest standards (4K HDR, 18 Gbps bandwidth, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Audio, HDMI ARC, etc.), so you shouldn't have any issues using it with your devices. There are, though, two considerations one should make before picking up this cable. First, many people (myself included) underestimate how much cable they need. This particular cable is only 4', so be sure that it's going to be long enough for your install. I often forget how much cable length you end up losing by the twists and turns the cable needs to make once it's connected to the devices. Second, this cable has standard sized connectors and a fairly thick/rigid cable. This means that it'll probably extend 2 or so inches past the HDMI input before you can bend the cable to where it needs to go. This might be a concern if you're connecting to the back of a TV with a fairly tight wall mount.

Hi, I recently purchased a top of the line OLED 4K TV from best buy and have been excited to use it with some new 4K electronics, notably Xbox One X, Apple TV 4K, PS4 Pro. However, I've found it difficult to get a cable that works if you also need length (I need 40+ feet). This cable, does not work with Xbox One X, unfortunately. I never realized how finicky HDMI cables are with High Def content. The included cable for Xbox One X works beautifully, but on the same settings with this cable, the screen is just blank, even when the cable is plugged in the direction indicated. I am disappointed b/c I checked with someone at best buy, but I also checked about the return policy, knowing that most people haven't tested their cords with the new HD 4K 60fps outputting hardware. Do not buy this if you're looking to use it on next gen outputting hardware. Finding a cable has been incredibly frustrating, so I'm making sure people learn from my investigations.

I bought this for my Xbox 360. I didn't really care about playing games in HD, I just got it because for the standard definition cables I could only have one device hooked up at a time (besides my Blu-ray player that was plugged into one of the the HDMI ports) so I really only got this to save me the trouble of constantly having to unplug one system to hook up another. Occasionally I still have to because I have too many systems but at least I can have two hooked up at once. But after using my 360 with HDMI cable I noticed a big difference in quality. Now I'm not saying it looked terrible before or anything like that. I always thought the games looked great. But now I really see a clearer and brighter picture when I'm playing. I was impressed. I really didn't think that it would make much of a difference on a game system like that but it did and it's made playing games a little more enjoyable. I highly recommend using this. It made movies look better when I switched to HD. I used to have a Blu-ray player that didn't come with an HDMI cable but it came with the 3 colored standard def cords which is what I used for a long time but when that player crapped out I bought a new one that didn't come with any cords and was only HD compatible so I bought one of these cords for that back then and was very impressed with the change of picture quality then. Again when I bought another one for my Xbox 360 I didn't think it would make the same difference that it did for my Blu-rays but it really does. If you have an HD tv you should use the cords for as many possible devices as you can. It really does make that much of a difference.

I bought 4 of these as a "Deal of the Day", so I got a better price on them than you'd get from a certain internet retailer known for their inexpensive cables. At the regular price, I'd give them 4 stars because of markup. Anyway, these perform well with my Apple TV 4K (HDR), my LG UP875 4K Blu-Ray player (HDR), my living room PC (HDR from a Radeon RX580), and my AirTV Player (SDR). Zero glitches with 4K/60 HDR, 4K/24 HDR, 4K/60 SDR, with every color mode I could throw at my TV. Catch them on sale is my biggest recommendation; the regular price is a little high, even at 12 foot. Also, keep in mind these are thick cables that aren't as flexible as what you're probably used to; high-speed cables are either thicker or have specialized chips in them - sometimes both - to help with higher bandwidth signals, especially outside of the 6 foot range.

For my birthday my wife and daughter gave me a 40" LCD 1080 HD TV, sound bar and wireless headphones, to replace the 20" picture tube TV I have watched for decades (all purchased at Best Buy of course). Needless to say I did not have HD cable service with that old TV , but could now receive it. My daughter has had HD service for her bedroom TV for some time so she checked and the cable company would upgrade my box to HD at no additional cost. I just needed an HD cable to connect the TV and box. My daughter originally told me to get a different one but the fella at BestBuy said this one is the same price and has upgrade capabilities for the future. So now I have HD TV and I must admit it is a noticeably better picture (as good as the regular picture on that TV is). However, as my daughter remarked in jest, as seldom as I get myself a new TV I probably won't be around to use any upgrade features built into this connector. She is no doubt correct. Therefore it's the last one I will ever have to buy!

This cable provides the necessary HDMI connections on both ends. Its so versatile, you can insert either end of the cable into any, and I do mean any, standard HDI receptacle. I love the fact that it's made with a black coating which makes it so hard to see in a dark room. My TV loves it too. Absolutely no trouble to connect my TV to the onerous, always-in-the-way-and often-having-to-reboot TV set top receiver Charter/Spectrum requires me to have for each and every TV in my house (up to 4 TVs now). HDMI makes all those extra color-coded RCA type plugged wires obsolete. Get an HDMI cable, you won't regret it. If you really relish the thought of a black cord running across your floor, get the 50ft cable and expand your space.

Insignia 4K Ultra HD HDMI Cable-Review I’ve found wimpy cables unworthy of even casual usage. If you’re looking for a physically flexible cable maybe this is not for you. This cable seems to use heavier grade of materials as the cable is thick & even somewhat heavy, which I interpret to be sturdy and capable of long-term use as well as being a better preventative of external signal interferences. Clarity, color and contrast are of great importance and this cable provides it. I find no blur or distortion on high action scenes. Audio transfers well and allows my theater system to do its job well. I have no problem in recommending this cable for anyone who’s looking for a higher quality, more heavy duty HDMI cable even if more difficult to work with its stiffness.

I'm personally not the biggest fan of the Insignia brand overall but when I was buying my HDTV I was informed that the unit did not come with a HDMI cable. The set I bought was one off the sales floor but I had went in with the intention of buying a bigger unit. When I had decided on the smaller unit, the sales person had already wheeled the bigger set out from the back. When I was informed of needing a HDMI cable for the set I did end up buying, I was informed by the sales person about a combo deal for a Surge Protector and this HDMI cable. I felt bad for the guy since he had wheeled out a TV that I didn't end up buying and I went ahead and picked the combo from him more out of pity and less out of necessity. Long winded story aside, it does the job it's supposed to. The only real knock is the Insignia branding on the box but then I've never cared for the Insignia brand so that's a minor gripe. If you need a decent, reliable HDMI cable and are not picky about the brand name on the box then this one should do you just fine.
