I use this cable in the 5-meter long version to my Onkyo AV receiver with my Samsung UE55H6470 join. In addition, I plan to enable it to run an Acer projector.
About the Onkyo receiver HDMI signals come in a XBox360, a satellite receiver VU + Solo² and a media PC's.
I had a not so much cheaper HDMI cables from a different manufacturer as some problems.
The Media-PC produced a picture with overscan, I had to settle down in the ATI driver settings only 2 stages, so that the 1080p image pixel precision fit. At the XBox I often had connection problems, especially when the receiver before the XBox was turned on. Also, the satellite receiver has often produced a white image at startup.
With this product from cable Direct all these problems are gone.
No matter what I set when and how anschalte or ansteuere which source I choose when the Onkyo and what material I Zuspiele, there is always the perfect image and the desired sound with this cable.
Even the ARC channel worked perfectly, as I have a media player connected directly to the TV and / or uses the internal satellite receiver and then the audio signal output via the Onkyo did.
The HDMI connection is well known, digital and should always give the same image in a successful handshake. That's why I let myself to the image quality of even further. Nevertheless, I would like to mention here that in my opinion the picture quality of my satellite receiver VU + Solo² with this cable has clearly gained in homogeneity and perceived sharpness. I do not think this is a placebo effect, it actually looks much better.
Important when choosing an HDMI cable, but definitely the threads compatibility, future safety and quality.
And here the scores cable Direct Pro Series in all areas.
The compatibility is as described above in my quite extensive environment where 100%.
By fulfilling the HDMI 2.0 standards, this cable is also available with the imminent change to the UHD technology available, which you should not neglect. I think in 1-2 years, every new BluRay player, TV, satellite receiver and PC are equipped with this standard and then you are lucky if not an expensive new acquisition of a cable is necessary.
The quality of the cable is out of the question. One can not daily but I've used hundreds of AV and PC cables and this is certainly among the top 5 in the feel and perceived quality.
The cable is impressively rich and heavy in the hand, is coated with a high-quality braid and the perfect strain relief connector act as a unified whole. Outstanding!
Also, the roll-out of the cable becomes very satisfactory, it shall formally by itself straight. To avoid any unwanted twists or bends.
The only thing I might have noticed a little weakness: On the cable no more printed. Therefore, it may happen that after some time one changes his equipment and can not recognize what standards are fulfilled by this cable. Is perhaps far-fetched but I am always happy when a quick look at a cable given me this information.
All in all, I recommend this cable to 100%. A great product that I like the full 5 stars admit!
I hope this review could assist you in your decision to buy .....
