Getting a truly certified cable really matters!

I have a Xbox series X hooked to a Samsung Q900TS (2020) 8k TV. Using a supposed 8k HDMI 2.1 compatible cable the Xbox said my setup did not support 4k 120 fps. I got a CERTIFIED Ultra High Speed HDMI cable and low and behold, 4k 120fps worked just fine as did ALL of the other features of HDMI 2.1. At this point in time I know of only two companies making true CERTIFIED cables for HDMI 2.1 at 8k. This is one of them and Planetwave is the other. Get one or the other. Don't get the pretend ones that don't work, even if it is from a so-called reputable manufacturer. Look for the HDMI.org scannable label on the package and go to HDMI.org to see how to tell a certified cable from a make-believe one.
At the speeds and features we are now running with these new 8k setups it makes HUGE difference.
The HDMI cable world is one of the biggest consumer product cesspools out there right now so be careful!

Like another review mentions, this cable will not allow you to display 120hz upscaled to 4k on Xbox Series S. It only allows 120hz at a forced 1080p with NO HDR which is a big bummer. The cable the comes with the system works just fine however. Will be returning this one.
Checked with the certified 3rd party that the Xbox series S supports 2K 120Hz but not 4K 120Hz. Also, checked Microsoft's official website, it shows Xbox series S doesn’t support 4K 120Hz.

Online pickup = used sold as new. Best Buy in crystal lake sold me a used cable as new, so I guess we’ll see how it performs.

Not HDMI 2.1
Samsung Q70 TV shows only 60 fps with the Xbox series x. Very frustrated as a lot of companies are falsely advertising 2.1. it shows HDMI on the best buy website but the box does not state that.

I purchased this a few months ago, and it has awful audio quality for soundbars. I recommend going to AudioQuest or the normal Rocketfish 4K cable.

Well worth the extra money, its high speed with beautiful picture quality. Allows me to play on my PC monitor and OLED tv perfectly. Will always come back for the rocketfish HDMI cable, 8' seems to be the perfect length no matter where i use it.

I have bought many devices, adapters, cables, converters from Rocketfish, and have never had any issue or complain. This brand has proved its value and this cable is just as great. I have a Sony Bravia OLED TV with HDMI 8k port, as well as a Sony soundbar 8K, and a Sony Blu Ray 8K as well. For a while I had many issues with the video resolution, flickering, or sometimes just no video at all on some Blu ray movies. Eventually I discovered that the Soundbar’s ARC port was very picky with the HDMI cables I was using, even if they stated they were 8k 2.1. On top of that, sometimes the Soundbar didn’t turn on when I turned on the TV. Length was also another issue, because my TV is located on the wall, a little high, and the Soundbar is on top of a very low TV stand, so there is a considerable distance between these two. Finally, I ended up buying an expensive Sony HDMI 2.1 cable, but it ended right at the edge (Sony didn’t have longer ones at that time), so if I moved the soundbar or TV even by a little bit, the HDMI cable got disconnected. However, the issues were resolved with the Sony Cable, proving that all the issues were related to the quality and specs of a 8k HDMI cable that I should use.
This Rocket Fish cable, with the 15 feet length, does the job beautifully. At the beginning I was concerned that it might be too long to support 8k with 48Gbps bandwidth, but it works. I have clear and excellent resolution videos and movies. I think that it works even better than the HDMI Sony brand cable I bought. Before, with Disney plus, I had some weird shadow or lack of brightness in some movies. For a long time I thought it may be caused by streaming issues, either the internet provider, the Modem, or the Router. And I have my TV connection wired over ethernet cable to the router. But since I replaced the HDMI cable with this Rocktfish, those video resolution issues are gone. On top of that I have now enough cable length to accommodate my Soundbar without being worried to accidentally disconnect them.
I am very satisfied with this cable, and I want to get two more for my Nintendo Switch and Blu Ray to guarantee that they’re using the 8k 48Gbps video resolution.

good solid cable - this made a big difference for my connection between my new Sony 75" 4K and the stereo receiver that connects to my AppleTV and BlueRay etc... I didn't know it but my cables were older and not handling the larger amount of data needed.
