Works as intended providing a clear display on pc monitors and fast refresh rates with 4k gaming and streaming services. I've noticed these are more affordable for the quality than other brands and have quality unlike some brands claiming such.

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.

I've been impressed with the Best Buy essentials series. They provide certified, high speed cables and other products. I was disappointed with a prior purchase of Rocketfish ones which did not appear compatible with my 2.1 eARC system - TV and soundbar. They were 2022 and 2021 models respectively. (Rocketfish caused them to unsync for unknown reasons.)
No problems with my AV equipment in the last year that I've noticed with the Best Buy essentials.

I bought this HDMI cable to go along with my PS5 and Samsung TV to make sure I could 120Hz when gaming. Once I plugged in this HDMI cable my TV recognized my ps5 and vice versa. My PS5 automatically brought up the menu options needed to best setup everything for optional gaming. It also allows for upscaling programming that isn't 4k. For the price, you can't beat this cable. I highly recommend!

One day, I wondered into Best Buy in search of the perfect HDMI cable to enhance my home entertainment system. After browsing through the aisles, I stumbled upon the Best Buy Essentials, 6’ 8K Ultra High Speed HDMI cable, which promised to deliver crystal-clear picture quality and lightning-fast data transfer speeds.
Excited by the prospect of upgrading my viewing experience, I decided to purchase the cable and put it to the test. Upon setting it up at home, I were blown away by the stunning clarity and vivid colors that the cable delivered. From streaming my favorite anime in 4K resolution to playing the latest video games like
Castle Wolfenstein with zero lag, the 6 8K Ultra High Speed HDMI cable exceeded all of my expectations.
In the end, I couldn't help but leave a glowing review for Best Buy, praising the store for carrying such a top-notch product. I marveled at how a simple cable could make such a significant difference in my entertainment setup and I vowed to return to Best Buy for all my future tech needs.

Perfect replacement after my first VR session ended with a surprise punch to the monitor—sent it flying, snapped the HDMI clean off. Lesson learned. This one works like a charm—and at a great price too.

Excellent cable for connecting cable box to the receiver, then to the TV. I wish the store carried shorter length HDMI cables so that the TV stand doesn't look so messy.

Cables work really well and are certified.
I bought a 8 of them to replace all the unknown quality hdmi cables I’ve gathered over the years that my tv, receiver, and game consoles (oled switch, ps5, steam deck, Wii, fat ps2) were using. I was getting intermittent black screens where the tv/reciever would lose the signal, not fun in the middle of a game. I have not had any issues since swapping to these cables.
