    The speed of data transmission over this cable is similar to that provided by a Pratt & Whitney jet engine.

    I bought this cable to replace another that was also supposed to be the latest spec. The other cable was causing random hdmi signal handshake issues, along with a brief black screen while using an xbox series x console. The new cable, thankfully, appears to have fixed the issue.

    Excellent video quality at an affordable price, using this cable on my Xbox series X connected to my new OLED display and 120hz and full 4k images are breathtaking!

    The high speed is apparent, the quality is good and the product lasts. I have used cheaper cables in the past and they are just not as good quality and there are glitches and delays. This is a solid product.

    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.

    Cable meets the desired specifications for the resolution and refresh rate we were looking for. Only drawback might be the cable coating and how it holds over time. A good cable overall and a definite recommendation especially if on sale.

    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.
