This question was asked about the related product: AudioQuest - Pearl 48 4.9' 4K-8K-10K 48Gbps In-Wall Rated HDMI Cable - Black with White Stripes

• A:Answer I have found out that there is no difference between the Ocean 48 and the Pearl 48. The Ocean cable is just a Best Buy exclusive cable. Buy whichever is cheaper or available unless you like the color better of one or the other. With that in mind the Sky 48 (another best buy exclusive) is equivalent to the Forest 48.

Q: QuestionI need a HDMI cord to attach sound bar to tv. This is the sound bar I want to know if this is what I need for this sound bar which does not come with a hdmi cord. Bose - TV Speaker - Bluetooth Soundbar with HDMI-ARC Connectivity - Black

This question was asked about the related product: AudioQuest - Pearl 48 2.5' 4K-8K-10K 48Gbps In-Wall Rated HDMI Cable - Black with White Stripes

• A:Answer I purchased this because I didn't have an extra cord to match the Apple TV requirements. When I plugged the HDMI cable I use for our Sony PlayStations, I could not get 4k content to play on my Sony 4K tv. When I switched to the Rocketfish HDMI cord we purchased for our Roku 4k, I was able to connect with 4k and 4:2:2 video as well. I wanted to try the Audioquest cord for comparison, though the price was so high. I used my Elite plus coupons to get this cord discounted. I have to admit that I didn't think it would make much a difference compared to the PlayStation HDMI cable but I was wrong. Both the Best buy Rocketfish cable and the Audioquest cables give us such a much clearer picture and even the audio sounds cleaner and slightly louder than before! I really like both cables but to be honest, I cannot afford paying this much money for HDMI cables. I will stick with the Rocketfish in the future. Something I also noticed when I plugged in either cable, they are a bit tighter fitting. While not a problem to plug in, unplugging was. I had to firmly grasp the audio cable head in order to unplug the cables to move my Roku and Apple TV around. If your Bose speaker requires HDMI, I definitely recommend either cable. I hope this helps.

Q: QuestionIs this cable Dolby Vision mark certified? I just got a new 4k apple tv and it won't work properly with our new Sony 4k television. The apple tv will not connect at 4K; only HD at a lower frame/refresh rate.

This question was asked about the related product: AudioQuest - Pearl 48 4.9' 4K-8K-10K 48Gbps In-Wall Rated HDMI Cable - Black with White Stripes

• A:Answer The max output for the Apple TV 4K is Dolby Vision @ 60HZ. If you are not seeing Dolby Vision as an option you'll need to set your HDMI input on your Sony TV to "Enhanced (Dolby Vision)". Once this is enabled you'll be able to select the Dolby Vision output option on the AppleTV and it will work.

This question was asked about the related product: AudioQuest - Pearl 48 4.9' 4K-8K-10K 48Gbps In-Wall Rated HDMI Cable - Black with White Stripes

• A:Answer Unfortunately, this issue is with your TV and not the cable. The Sony 950H only supports HDMI 2.0 (4K, 60hz MAX). Even though the TV is rated at 120hz refresh rate, HDMI 2.0 can support enough bandwidth to go over 4K-60p. To get 4K 120hz, the TV must have HDMI 2.1 inputs and you must use a 48gbps HDMI cable (like this one). Sorry for the bad news.

Q: QuestionHas this cable received the Ultra High Speed certification from HDMI.org? Is the Ultra High Speed certification logo on the packaging?

Asked 5 years ago by WKCP.

• A:Answer All the Audioquest 48 HDMI cables are certified by HDMI.LLC which has HDMI.org as it's public face. I contacted the Product Manager in Holland and it is verified as certified. I don't know when they will get official labels, because of the increasing 8k certification of hdmi cables.
