  • Solid construction, incredible product
Size: 3 Meters
AQ is a reliable brand, the image becomes more natural and better shadows degradation.

  • Bullet Proof Cables
Size: 1.5 Meters
This HDMI cable is top of the line. The Carbon 48 cable is the best you can get. The cables above this category I would say are for professional use. This category you get about 200 dollars a foot. A little out of my price range. But you really can tell the difference in sound quality and sharpness of the video versus factory cables. The Carbon 48 has silver connection ends to provide excellent data transfer and a wider bandwidth to accommodate Dolby Atmos to really enhance the audio and picture clarity. I also really like Monster cables, but I find these cables are a step above. ... show more

  • Fantastic Picture Quality
Size: 1.5 Meters
Used to connect new Panasonic oled tv to my Anthem AVM 90. The picture is awesome and eARC works after jumping through some hoops and several firmware upgrades. Now I use it for all my streaming and one less cable is so nice especially since it will pass full dobly atmos.

  • For high end set ups
Size: 1.5 Meters
Pros: unlike x brands hdmi cables the image is sharp, colours look more natrual. Sound is more robust and precise. Cons: Expensive, dont buy it for low end set ups because it wont change much, the source and the tv/projector must be good to jusify the cost.
