  • The text on the image is describing the features of an HDMI Pearl 48 cable. The cable is made of solid long-grain copper A/V conductors, which provide better conductivity and signal transmission. The cable also has tinned copper ground reference, which helps reduce noise and improve signal quality. Additionally, the cable has a level 1 noise-dissipation feature, which further reduces noise and ensures better signal quality. The cable is also direction-controlled, which means it can only be used in one direction to prevent any potential damage or interference. Finally, the cable has a CL3/FT4 PVC jacket, which provides protection and durability.
  • Long-Grain Copper Solid conductors eliminate strand interaction to significantly reduce distortion. Most HDMI cables on the market are made from Long-Grain Copper, which provides better conductivity and noise reduction compared to traditional conductors. AudioQuest, a well-known brand in the audio industry, offers HDMI cables that utilize Long-Grain Copper technology to deliver high-quality audio and video signals.

    Works better than the optical cable. Noticed a difference in the sound ,the voice from the center speaker is much clearer. Also the sound switches from tv speakers to surround automatically.

  • Samsung Q90T/PS5 upgraded cables

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Recently upgraded all of my home TV HDMI cables. I just purchased a new Samsung Q90T and also scored a PS5 on launch day. Because of the new devices, I decided to upgrade my cables to support 4K and HDMI 2.1. For years I was running very old outdated HDMI cables that were supplied by whatever product came in the box. I didn't realize that not all HDMI cables are made to support all devices. I did tons of research and determined that AudioQuest provided great cables for a great cost. I would highly recommend upgrading your HDMI cables if you have or are thinking about purchasing any new gen audio/video equipment. Old devices can operate using old 1.4/2.0 HDMI cables but if you have new audio/video equipment (2016+) your devices will run at their optimum performance using 4K/8K/10K wiring. DONT use the manufactures supplied cables as they are very cheap quality and wont provide top performance. AudioQuest is a little pricey in comparison to other brands but they are one of the few that actually are 2.1 certified. Definitely recommend if you are in the market for any audio/video upgrades/purchases.

    You want high-quality video! You need this cable! I also loved that BB has a chart in their store showing the different upgrades. This always produces excellent video playback.

    The Pearl 10 HDMI cable provides seamless highspeed communication passthrough from my receiver to the television. It provides up to 8K and 10K for future use. The 10 ft. length is perfect for my home theater setup.

    Great HDMI 2.1 cable and fully supported for ARC/eARC. This cable is uni-directional with arrows helping with the installation on your components. Great support for 48GB throughput at 120Hz for 4K. Supports 8K and even 10K not that it's available yet. HDR and UHD support as well.

    While costly versus other HDMI cables, these make a difference even at the entry level. I have purchased the Pearl, Forest and the one above that pending on what I am connecting. They last and make for a solid enhanced connection. While in many cases the difference is slight, our family loves movies and gaming so I want a great connection. I noticed a distinct difference in connecting a game system with the standard cable they give you versus one of these. You can’t go wrong with these

    Good high-speed cable, long enough for my needs and in wall rated. The cable is thick, so that can be good and bad because routing was a bit challenging but managed, and the price is crazy high, but it works so I'm happy!

    These were recommended by Benjamin at Manchester Best Buy, they seem to be making a difference, it was a somewhat simple in wall install but they work. If you have a question about install or on anything that Best Buy sells, ask for Benjamin.

    Never knew I could have a relationship with an HDMI cable like this, or ANY cable for that matter. I saw this cable on the shelf and knew I wanted it so bad. I took it home and slowly opened the packaging, being extra gentle. I connected it to my ps5 and broke down in tears at the beautiful picture glowing from my big screen. I took my shirt off and rolled around on the floor in front of the television, almost out of some weird form of respect for the picture quality. 4K 120hz? No my child, this cable runs 12K 480 hz out of the box.
