    I purchased from Best Buy AudioQuest Cinnamon 48Gbps HDMI cables when I bought my new 4K TV, receiver and blu-ray player. My cable box was frequently dropping the signal so I replaced my old HDMI cable with the AudioQuest Forest 48Gbps. The picture on the box and on Best Buy's site shows the cable to have green stripes and appears to be braided. However when my cable arrived it was black and not braided. I contacted AudioQuest and spoke to a person from their tech support. According to him, no AudioQuest cable below Cinnamon quality has ever been braided. Furthermore the photo on the box is generated for advertising and is NOT a picture of the product. He assured me that my cable was an authentic AudioQuest HDMI cable. And Best Buy was the first authorized dealer to sell the new 48Gbps cables. I am giving this cable 4 stars because in this particular instance it had little or no affect in my cable box's performance.

    Welcome to the top of the HDMI tower. Ultra High Speed HDMI is for people who want the ultimate in future-proofing. These Audio Quest ultra-certified cables are guaranteed to provide the full 48Gbps that enables all of the advanced features in the HDMI 2.1 specification, including 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz video, eARC, all versions of HDR, and the many varieties of variable refresh rate (VRR) technologies. At the moment, only two categories of users can really benefit from it: Next-gen gamers on consoles like the PS5 or Xbox Series X, both of which support gaming in 4K/120Hz and 8K/60Hz, and those who own 8K TVs. Keep in mind, to be able to game at 4K/120Hz or 8K/60Hz, your TV needs to support these resolutions and frame rates, too.

    I watch a lot of movies via 4kblur ray disc. After watching netflix decided to load John Wick 3 via this cable and my Panasonic DP-UB820 4k blu ray player...the picture is STUNNING! Netflix and Prime video does not even compare. Great cable. A little pricey but worth it!

    Definitely worth getting if you use a PS5 or XSX. This 2.1 cable is much better than the standard 2.1 that comes in the box, especially when it comes to the audio.

    This makes the third cable I've bought. There is no comparison between these cables and other cables. You can definitely tell the difference. Wish they weren't so expensive.
