Here are the things I love most about this cable:
Exceptional picture quality: The cable supports resolutions up to 8K at 60Hz, which is four times the resolution of Full HD. This translates to stunningly clear and detailed images, even on the largest TVs.

High bandwidth: The cable boasts a bandwidth of 48 Gbps, which is more than enough to handle even the most demanding video content. This ensures that you won't experience any lag or stuttering, even when playing 8K video games.
Durable build quality: The cable is well-made with a thick, braided cable that feels very durable. The connectors are gold-plated to resist corrosion and ensure a reliable connection.
Compact size: The 2-foot length is perfect for connecting devices that are close together. This is especially helpful for those who want to keep their cables organized and out of sight.
In addition to the above, here are some other features worth mentioning:
Dynamic HDR support for even more vibrant colors and contrast
eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) for high-quality audio

When you upgrade everything BUT your cable, you take your chances. With a new gaming PC with an RTX3080 TI card and a 4K 120 Hz OLED monitor, you need a high quality cable. Not the $12 one, but this one. It is rated at 48 Gbps and it cleared up all the issues I had with a similarly rated cable purchased on another web site that has everything from A to Z.
This cable makes my high end hardware perform at the limits of its specifications. If you get the cheap cable, then you may not be able to run at the limits of the other hardware.

Works great, you can tell its great quality just by looking at it. Was debating between this one and the xbox specific one but im glad i went with this higher quality one.

I needed an upgrade to my HDMI cables for my gaming computer. The difference from what I had to what I now have is like night and day, When I watch movies or play diablo 2 the graphics and video are much sharper,cleaner esp when I play 4K resolution shows,movies, games etc. I would reccommend this product. When I watch movies on my 45 inch monitor you actually feel like you're actually there.

I never really gave much thought to the fact that the cables you use to connect devices and essentially pulled together your home entertainment center or anything for that matter or actually as important, if not more important than the devices themselves.
I had bought recently an LG webOS u9000 version television with a 60 ghz refresh rate targeted for gaming specifically and I wanted to make sure I got the best top quality that I paid for and utilize all of the technology in the TV that I could.
That's a tall order because I am using a lot of settings and I haven't even begun to explore the entire potential that is in this set. That said, I did some research and in so doing realized I needed a better quality HDMI cord to connect from the TV to my PS5 for it to communicate in an optimum way without downgrading the audio or visual experience.
I picked this brand mainly because it was one of the few they had and it was available same day but beyond the limited reason for choosing it. I'm glad I did because I haven't had a single issue since purchasing it. A very high quality cord that you can tell is going to last for years to come. In watching everyday streaming channels or playing on our gaming system, I haven't noticed any lag or anything to interrupt the connection. Altogether it's just a great cord and proof that it does matter what you use in connecting your devices. I'll Absolutely be more careful from now on to get the best quality connections for my high quality devices. I highly recommend this one.
Get into “game mode” and its perfect as a monitor.

Was troubleshooting for a couple hours when I couldn’t get 8k from my rtx3090. Ordered a different hdmi cable, calibrated and messed with clear text setting but quality wasn’t there, about to return it. Was also trying to use side by side PIP to have youtube on a small window and computer on a big one but it was a bit blurry. So PIP is lower quality on this tv and not even available with “game mode.” So I’m using FancyZones with PowerToys and its working well so far. Turns on and off quickly, much faster than the Samsung Frame tv In the living room. I do graphics work, sitting 2.5ft back its awesome at 8k. Pretty great deal at $1299.

Cable is of high quality, absolutely no problems after a year of use with multiple devices. Compatibility and specs are exactly as described. Very happy with this purchase, and I would say that it is worth the extra money for something that will last you longer than cheaper alternatives.

Like the title says expensive wire, but better than the factory wire. There is a slight difference in picture and audio quality that was noticeable to me using on the Xbox series X, picture had more color and the audio is clearer. Overall expensive and not too long but worth it and makes sence for the length if you do your due diligence on why they make them short. im looking into buying another one and I’ll recommend this wire unless you find better specs then these. I also heard Best Buy makes these wire they remind me of kicker wires not bad of job beside the price.

This Rocketfish 8' Ultra High Speed HDMI 2.1 cable performs as advertised. I’m using it for 4K 120 Hz output, and the signal is solid with excellent color and clarity. The cable feels very well-built and HDMI 2.1 certification provides extra confidence for long-term use. Slightly stiff, but that’s expected for a properly shielded cable. Highly recommended for anyone with next-gen consoles or high-end TVs.

I bought a new sound system for tv. Because of the brand and quality of sound I wanted to make sure I had the best arcHDMI cable so I could say I did it. Well I was actually impressed and surprised that the sound quality actually improved by getting this 8k/4k HDMI cable. Better bass and a clearer sound so I’m glad I pitched this item. If you’re gonna purchase a sound system or a sound bar and spend all that money trust me do not use any old generic HDMI cable.

I recently upgraded my home theater setup with a new 4K/120Hz TV and a PS5, and I quickly realized my old HDMI cables weren't cutting it. After some research, I landed on this 8-foot Rocketfish 8K Ultra High Speed cable, and I'm thoroughly impressed.
First off, the build quality is excellent. The cable itself feels thick and durable, not flimsy like some budget options. The connectors are gold-plated and fit snugly into the ports on my TV and console, giving a really secure connection. The 8-foot length is perfect for my setup, offering plenty of flexibility for cable management without leaving a huge coil of excess wire.
Performance-wise, it's flawless. Being HDMI 2.1 Certified means it genuinely supports the high bandwidth needed for 8K at 60Hz and, more importantly for me, 4K at 120Hz. The difference in gaming was immediately noticeable—everything is incredibly smooth and responsive, with no screen tearing or signal dropouts. Features like Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) kicked in without a hitch.
Picture and sound quality are pristine. HDR content looks stunning with vibrant colors and deep blacks, and it handles advanced audio formats like Dolby Atmos perfectly.
Honestly, the best part is the peace of mind. Knowing this cable is certified and can handle anything I throw at it now (and for years to come) makes it a worthy investment. If you're investing in new 8K or high-refresh-rate 4K gear, don't bottleneck it with an old cable. This Rocketfish cable is a reliable, high-quality choice that just works. Highly recommended!

An HDMI wire is awesome because it effortlessly handles high-definition video and multi-channel audio through a single cable, eliminating clutter and simplifying your home theater setup. It provides uncompressed digital signals for crystal-clear picture quality and superior sound, ensuring you get the best experience from your TV, gaming console, or streaming device. For gamers, high-speed HDMI cables offer faster refresh rates for smoother, more responsive gameplay.

I purchased 3 of these cables in the 15’ length for my new basement TV setup. I’ve never paid this much for cables before, but wanted to run them through the wall and felt good about their “in-wall” rating. They seem to be much higher quality and more durable than the cheaper ones I usually buy. They come rolled up, but easily straighten and are more flexible than I would have anticipated, which was much appreciated for creating a neat and clean install! Would 100% buy again!!!
