VICRATION HDMI 2.1 Cable 2m,Ultra High Speed 48gps Braided

Perfect cable if you want a lighter weight but sturdy HDMI cable!
I run my 4k gaming monitors from two computers – my PC for “me”, and my laptop for work… and I’ve been running the monitors with my PC using the Displayport, switching to HDMI for using my laptop.

This cable solves 2 problems for me…
1. It replaces a very old, thick black HDMI cable which – due to the nature of me plugging my laptop in/ out frequently, has become a bit unreliable
2. It is a high spec cable – which means I am future proofed – because I am now running 2 displays from my laptop!

I have now upgraded my laptop set-up to use my 2 34″ gaming screens by way of a USB C dock, so will put less strain on the cables… and so far this cable is excellent.

Highly recommended for the price – I wanted a good 2metre length so I could route and hide as much cabling as possible, and this one is easy to route, thin, and hard wearing.

The price was just 9.99 at the time of writing – which is great.

Thumbs-up

Quality cable
This is a good quality hdmi cable. Hard to complain when you can get a 2m braided hdmi 2.1 cable for less than a tenner!

The connectors are smaller than usual and they don’t have the ridiculous massive mouldings that most seem to have, which it great if you don’t have much room behind you devices. The cable easily bends into the tight space behind my home theatre PC.

I have it connected between my RTX 4070 and LG C2 oled TV. So far it so good. So far good value.

I think it works. I just wish that this HDMI cable was 8k certified.
It appears to be a strong, neat cable, and the connections are strong as you would expect.

Now, I do have a TV that has a feature that apparently upscales or interpolates Ultra HD television broadcasts to show ‘real 8k’ as the manufacturers put it.

But as I could find nothing broadcast in true 8k, (not upscaled) I used a Canon digital SLR camera to produce a 32.5 mega-pixel image, which is just shy of the 33mp equivalent that 8k represents; and due-to presumably countless limitations of the TV not actually producing a true 8k image; the only difference was some improvement to contrast and definition clarity, which is what I would have expected anyway if this product was to work; for which I think that it has.

But this could just be me, as I’m quite blind now, but I was once a landscape and architectural photographer, and the only reason for buying a new digital camera with a ‘higher’ mega-pixel rating, was when I wanted to either show or print a more defined and colourful image on to a ‘larger’ scale, and that’s it.

So, the larger the tv or projected image, the higher the resolution, and as I say; I think that this works, but since there’s no real mainstream 8k broadcasts occurring, then this product is overkill unless you are viewing high resolution images on to a suitable screen, but it does seem to have worked in my make-shift test, and this HDMI cable will always work anyway if you just simply need a cable for your full HD TV, (even on HDMI 1.4) but will give you the added clarity later when you upgrade to either a 4 or 8k device without the need to buy another HDMI cable when that day finally occurs.

Unfortunately, I cannot show you that image, because the image was too large to upload via Amazon, and I know that I’m quite blind, but if the difference in contrast is so minimal in real-life, how would you ever see the difference, when I’m only able to show you a much lower resolution photograph of a TV screen? It just wouldn’t work.

As I say, I wish that this product was certified, as I’d have more confidence in the product that most cannot properly test right now.

Anyway, I suppose that if you did have the funds for a true 8k monitor, I’m sure that your budget would stretch way beyond the asking price of this product; so, it really cannot matter right now.
