I'll get this out of the way right now: I don't think one cable is necessarily any better than most other cables out there at transmitting a 4K signal, but that's up to you to research the technical details and form an opinion. It's a little out of the scope of a review. That said, I see no reason to give this one anything but 5 stars.
Function-What's to say? I tested this HDMI cable from a PS3 to a 24" computer display and sure enough there's the picture transmitting just fine. Full video with no lag or distortion. As I said in the beginning there's debate but as HDMI is a digital signal, it either is transmitted or it isn't and 1080p displays just fine. There's no reason to believe 4K would be any different.
Build- This is where the specific specimen appeals to me the most. Everyone has had some sort of generic USB, charging, or video cord that holds up to maybe a year of use and then just stops because the miniature wires in side broke. Unless you take a knife to it, I'm of the opinion that you'd never have to replace this one. The plug casings are a very tough material that has me believing it's metal while the plugs themselves are firmly seated and attached to where I applied some leverage and saw lo flex. I love the braided cord covering too. It is the sturdiest thing I've ever seen and resists all but the most purposeful kinks. This acts as both strain relief and an aid to prevent tangling. Last of all, it just looks great. It's the sort of cord I wouldn't worry about hiding because it looks that good.Sure, there's disagreement over whether or not a cable like this is necessary. When it really some down to it though, I think the decision to buy this should be based on what kind of quality you want. If you want the best, this is your cable. If not, I'd still recommend it. I received this product free in exchange for nothing more than my honest opinion.
