    Great cable. I use it to connect my LG C3 TV/monitor to my desktop's 7900 XTX. Runs 4k@120hz without a problem.

    I usually use AudioQuest Ocean cables, like my xbox for example as I need the latest HDMI support with these next generation console let alone my HTPC as well, and recently got another next gen console for the other room which is a ps5. I needed something cheaper but can support HDMI 2.1, and what an Excellent cable, especially for the price. I use it with my PS5 and my 120hz 4K display and it transmitted picture and audio perfectly without zero issues. Couldnt tell a difference between thr audioquest or the bestbuy essentials cable honestly except in terms of high-fidelity audio.

    Bought this for an older Sony DVD player. Played an older 1994 remaster of Wish you were here. The sound as clean as one could ask for especially the highs over Polk Audio speakers and a Yamaha Aventage receiver.

    Good stable connection, works as well or better than the gold-plated one I paid twice as much for to connect my bedroom TV to a computer, and of perfect length. Best Buy essentials have a good reputation for durability, so I expect this cable will have a long and useful life.
