Monster 8K HDMI Cable — Xbox Series X & PlayStation 5 HDMI Cable w/ 24K Gold Contacts & V-Grip, 48 Gbps Speed, 60/120 Hz Refresh Rate, Dynamic HDR & eARC for Superior Visuals & Audio (6 FT)

I bought the two-pack of 2 foot cables for about $27 at the time of this writing. They're a DEFINITE IMPROVEMENT over the stock ones which came with my Nvidia Shield and high-end ($750) Vizio sound bar. I'd heard short cables "could" effect the timing signal inherent in HDMI 2.1 cable construction. No such issues here, I can detect. The picture quality was similar to my old cables BUT with a BIG improvement in sound quality. Which was a main focus for me with the new sound bar. Using the old Vizio included, HDMI cable just didn't cut it at all which I found rather highly surprising. I'd opted to using Optical output instead, for the sound quality I desired. These new 2 foot Monster Cables did finally surpass the much older Toslink Optical output in fine quality sound. The difference is pronounced. And these are my very first HDMI cables which have lived up to the promise of, "superior HDMI 5.1 surround sound quality". I'd used Monster cables for "Component" type inputs in many years past with great results, but never encountered any other single HDMI cable which lived up to the promise of superior HDMI sound. These finally pleased my ears enough to permanently use them. Monster still makes quality cables in spite of intense market competition from cheaper, generally, Chinese cables which so many seem to rave about. But those don't always cut it! Higher quality cables are well worthwhile if you watch a lot of content over many years. These 2' Monster ones are in fact, a good buy! They got this review ONLY because they earned it.

For a low cost HDMI it does an outstanding job. I needed to run a longer cable to a small 4k Samsung TV to fit my needs. I had a shorter Cardas cable which was not cheap but has great quality. I was very surprised this cable was pretty much just as good with high quality shot shows/sports. For normal recorded shows you could not hear or see a difference between the Cardas cable which cost a lot more and this Monster cable. I highly recommend it!

Exactly as described, works great! Don't short yourself on a theater system with cheap or outdated HDMI cables. Monster cables are the way to go.

Great packaging, product was perfect. Just wish shipping was quicker

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I have always used the Monster cables. I was a little concerned about these being the real thing as they were only packaged in plastic. They are performing well so far on my new Sony and LG TV's.

Great, no issues. Great picture.

A solid, well-built 6-ft. cable. I needed a longer cable to replace an expensive 1-meter AudioQuest 4K one. Since I'm using this to connect a UHD Blu-ray player to a 3D/4K television, I figured this was a good alternative. It was. Excellent picture and sound. Connectors provide a tight fit. You could pay a lot less or you could pay a lot more. Monster isn't what it once was, but it's probably best for the money.

Works well with my new tv and soundbar

Totally misleading will pass only 9Gbps I'm not happy with this product false advertising

Excellent ! L'image et le son parfait.

Tengo un PS5, me gustan los first person shooters. Con este cable y un refresh rate de 120htz, se ve precioso todo juego y toda película. No sé cómo explicarlo, pero mejoró mucho mi juego. Como se ven más definidos los enemigos, es más fácil detectarlos y detenerlos. Este cable en serio hace una diferencia en la imagen. Ahora prueben películas 4k ultra. Que preciosidad! Se ven los copos de nieve caer!! Hermoso! En serio vale la pena invertir en un cable bueno como este. Bueno? No, buenísimo!!!

It had some issues connecting to arc but other than that it works as describe on its packaging

Muy buen producto.
