    Needed to round out my travel kit for my new laptop. Good price, works fine. Sometimes laptop needs to talk with extra monitor when visiting family.

    It works just as expected with no issues, it’s great for its price I would definitely recommend if you’re not trying to spend too much on an HDMI cord.

    I use this for my pc to get 4k on my second monitor which is my tv . 65” sony x900h . What a dream come true . 120hz with my nvidea 3080 card gives me the best picture. Best bang for the buck !!

    Great cheap HDMI cable that can push 8K resolution, though I used it for 1440p at 144hz and for roughly $15 it was the best deal I could find and worked great. Kinda wish they were braided cables but that would probably raise the price so oh well.

    Picked up this cord for the HDMI 2.1 performance for my Samsung Odyssey G9. I was getting a white flickering with the display port cable, but this fixed the issue immediately. That and I could rock 240 Hz with this cable but was locked at 120 with the display port! Awesome cable and very affordable.

    What a great price for a HDMI 2.1 cord! I purchased a PC and it didn’t come with a 2.1 cord, so I had to use the one from my Xbox Series X. I knew I would either have to keep taking it off the Pc to put back on the Xbox, OR I could do the logical thing and buy another one. I was worried: 1) it would be expensive and 2) it wouldn’t actually be a functional 2.1 cord. However, both of my concerns were alleviated with Best Buy’s (very cheap) HDMI 2.1 cord. I confirmed the fps/hz at 4k, and it works perfectly.

    My 4k player runs better when I replaced the old HDMI cable with this one. Dont ask me how that works, magic maybe. I also like that it is costs less than a lot of other 2.1 cables.

    This cable allows for all of the video preferences I have and the icing on the cake is that it supports 120hz at the fraction of the cost of the rocket fish cables!

    Wont find a HDMI cable that supports up to 8k at this price point— awesome product from best buy that is priced affordably. Got it to have an upgrade over much older hdmi cables that we have for laptop to external monitor and roku to tv.

    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.

    Ordered this cable to my sound bar with eARC so it needed to be an hdmi 2.1 cable. Works great and inexpensive.
