I swapped out my old no-name HDMI for the Rocketfish 2' 8K Ultra High Speed HDMI 2.1 cable and the difference in picture quality was instantly noticeable—everything looks sharper and more vibrant now. The build feels super solid, and it easily handles 4K and even 8K content without any issues. No more random glitches or lag, and it just works perfectly with my setup. If you want a cable that actually makes a difference, this one’s totally worth it

These two Ultra HDMI cables are working well and sending a great signal from my 4K Apple TV box and my 4K Blue Ray player through to my 4K TV. They are high quality but expensive. Bought from Best Buy, where I received good advice and great help making my purchases.

Work perfectly fine as expected. Quality and speed was perfect for my Playstation 5. I would have internet delays and lag spikes but after installing this it all went away.

Excellent quality and nice length. This HDMI cable allows my Xbox Series X to utilize all the graphics power of the unit and transfer speeds are wicked fast. Microsoft's cable that is included is okay, but it's a night and day difference with this cable

My TV is above the fireplace mantle and my PlayStation is to far away for the provided cable to reach. I got this cable, so it would still be compatible with the HDMI 2.1 quality and not affect the picture quality of the PS5. It's a nice cable, and the variety of lengths that they offer are good for any setup. My only concern is that the plugs get a little warm during use. Nothing too concerning, but I'm not sure if other cables do this or not.

This is my third 'Rocketfish' HDMI cable. The first purchase was their 4K cable. I was not impressed with the performance of that cable. So, when I needed another longer HDMI cable, I chose the 8K, because it was on sale. I was not disappointed. It was a far superior cable to the 4K. This time I needed another longer cable at 12 feet. Rocketfish was the only manufacturer to make a cable in that length. The competition was all limited to 10 feet. However, it was not on sale, which put it in the price range of Audioquest, but they were limited to 10 feet. As for performance, I find it bright, colorful, with good detail. I put it on par with my AudioQuest and Anker cables. The major difference is size. The Rocketfish cables are thick and bulky, but they bend easier than AudioQuest. This may affect installation.

Works great, I can definitely tell an improvement in the resolution using this vs others. Should have got a slightly longer one the 4ft was just barley long enough.
Appreciate the feedback, Alex! Glad the length worked out perfectly and that your in-store experience was quick and smooth. Enjoy the upgrade! — Shiela | Rocketfish Support

I know next to nothing about the differences in the quality of HDMI cables. This one was recommended by a very knowledgeable tech guy at BB and I trusted his no-pressure advice. With the cable plugged into the arc/e-arc HDMI port on my new Sony Bravia TV, the result is that I have the sharpest picture and sound quality ever especially when I'm watching a blu-ray on my upscaling Panasonic 4k player! Bit pricey for an HDMI cable but not nearly as much as some others.

This is what I needed to run my pc and ps5 games at 4k with 60 frames per second on my tv. It wasn't clear to me at the time that this "HDMI 2.1 " certified but i was told that a cable rated for 8k was the way to go. excellent cable.

I have a Apple 4K TV. It was experiencing random drop outs. Had som high speed cables (Monster UHD 21Gbs) I went on all the Apple forums to find out why this kept happening. The consensus was the cables weren’t fast enough. I was going to but the Belkin 4K cables that were recommended by Apple for what would have been a higher price. Search the BB web site and Rocketfish came up. These are highly rated and certified by HDMI.org. If it doesn't have the sticker, its not certified.
Bought them (5) to replace all the cabling for my HT system. Did an update and everything seems to be clearer and sharpers. The colors just pop! It has only been a week, but I have experienced no drop outs or blocking. I will give it some more time and will update if there are any changes.

Bought this for my VIZIO Elevate to connect to the eARC port on my LG C1. The HDMI cable that came w/ the soundbar was only High Speed (2.0), and also without Ethernet. Although the eARC protocol only calls for a max of 18Gbps if you are NOT passing through video, bugs are more likely to arise as you're passing through information through a pipe that is completely filled.
With an Ultra High Speed HDMI (2.1) @48Gbps capacity, the same amount of information (metadata) is being transferred via a larger pipe, and this HDMI cable also has Ethernet which in cases is necessary to properly passthrough lossless Dolby TrueHD, Atmos, etc. After equipping this cable to my Elevate & LG C1, I've run into fewer bugs than before, and b/c of eARC the same Netflix streams, BluRay's, etc sound more crisp due to being Full-FAT audio.
A little pricey, but does provide peace of mind.
