Twisted Veins HDMI Cable 20 ft, 2-Pack, Premium HDMI Cord Type High Speed with Ethernet, Supports HDMI 2.0b 4K 60hz HDR on Most Devices and May Only Support 4K 30hz on Some Devices

(Update) It caused interferences with Apple TV 4K. So I disassembled the cable and found these. Conclusion is "it's a piece of junk". Lack of shield and the shields exist are not even connected.It feels heavy duty or quality cable but It’s NOT. It’s cheaply made with “looks strong” exterior decoration.1) All HDMI cables with no shield or poor shield are not compatible with 4K devices using bluetooth as HDMI cables emit interference noise when it transmits 4K 60Hz signal. Apple TV 4K is one of them.The Siri Remote lags a lot with this cable. A simple solution is using a “quality HDMI” cable supporting 4K/60Hz. With a quality cable, the remote works normal. "Twisted Veins HDMI cable caused the lag". The other brand's quality HDMI cable solved the lag.Why did this cable cause the issue?2) I cut the Twisted Veins cable to see what's inside. Oh My God. There is NO alloy braided shield which is a must to prevent EMI interference. There are only TWO aluminum foil shields. All of quality HDMI cables have THREE shields.3) The conductor is also very thin like a hair. The cut edge of the wire shines like aluminum or steel. It looks like a CCA (copper clad aluminum) but I could feel it's much stronger than copper or aluminum. It looks like a CCS(copper clad steel). CCS is used in coaxial cable to save money or prevent copper theft. CCS provides higher mechanical strength but not good for signal quality.4) Ground foils are not connected to the ground pin in the connector (see the photo). Total 4 pins are not connected. This cable can't pass the HDMI cable test.5) I compared it with other cheap HDMI cable. This cable is thiner even than the cheap unnamed cable (see the photo). With the nylon braid covered, this cable looks good, however, when I pressed the nylon braided exterior shell, the other cable was felt solid/full/firm, but this cable was felt soft/hollow/empty.Conclusion) This cable sells like hot cakes because of the low price with nylon braided exterior, but it doesn't worth even for a penny.I don't mean we need to spend $$$$ to get quality cables. There are many quality cables at affordable price. However, this cable is not, based on my finds.When you choose HDMI cables, check if (1) there are triple shields or not (2) all pins are connected or not (3) the conductors are 28AWG(or thicker) pure copper or not (4) metal shield over the connector exists or not.

The excellent reviews and great value may seem too good to be true, and they are.I purchased this pack of 2 cables just recently - in July, 2018 - and they are supposed to be up to the latest industry standard of hdmi 2.0 with ARC support, among other things. None of that is true - these cables do NOT support ARC and are hdmi 1.4 standard, at best.Tried both cables on two separate TVs - a Vizio and a Samsung - and on both TVs I got screen flickering (screen just went nuts, tbh) when connected to hdmi 2.0 ports (4k up to 60 hz). The sables also did not support ARC on a Yamaha soundbar, connected to the Samsung TV.The aforementioned issues appeared consistently on both TVs I tested and with both cables, while trying out different hdmi inputs.When connected to a 1.4 hdmi port (4k at up to 30 hz), the cables seemed to work just fine, at least for the purpose I used them, which was to connect my laptop to the TV.I purchased different hdmi 2.0 cables - rhyme with blue digger - and had no problems whatsoever with either TV or the soundbar.Do yourself a favor and avoid these cables. One doesn't have to spend a fortune these days to get top-quality hdmi cables, just not this brand.

I had no idea what I was missing until I switched to an HDMI cable that WASN’T Twisted Veins! These cables are absolute crap! I’ve purchAsed 2 double packs and all cables are awful. I ran one set in wall before they closed up my basement walls when it was finished. One was operational and other was backup. Well...not shortly after, tv wouldn’t support ARC, continual glitching and picture going blank and finally just failing. Fast forward, I bought another set and attempted to connect one end to my receiver....snap! The end literally just fell off with no effort! I’m done and sorry I’ve given this company my money! They gave me half back for one cable.Today I received a new HDMI cable from another company and holy moly! The picture is amazing, bright, colorful and not glitching! It’s heavy duty and the feel is night and day from Twisted Veins.Find another company.

I've had these AV cables for just over a month, which is to say just outside of the Amazon return window. Today, I startup my brand new Sony 950G and suddenly no audio over to my Denon 4500 over eARC. Immediately my mind races with conspiracy theories over Sony Bravia bias that is going to make my Saturday complicated. I turn everything off & reconnect cables... still no sound when using eARC despite working just 12-hours prior. I hit Sony support site and do the basics. No luck. I connect with Sony support chat and after a few troubleshooting steps, the rep asked whether I might have another cable handy to verify. I had a 14' cable that was just long enough... and instantly the sound burst from the speakers. I can't express how frustrating it is to purchase a basic product from Amazon to make my life simpler and end up losing an hour troubleshooting because of quality issues. It's an interesting coincidence that the cable stops functioning correctly (would still deliver picture but not eARC audio) 6 weeks after purchase. This was a TERRIBLE purchase... as complete waste of time, money and now landfill space.

UPDATED: We have one of these cables embedded in the wall installed before the plasterboard went up in a new office. This connects a high end PC to a 4K Samsung TV on the opposite side of the room. I can confirm that it runs at 4K very well. Although I have only really tested it with games like Fornite Maxed out running in 4K. My Good Ole Nvidia/ROG STRIX 980 TI Overclocked edition is pretty maxed out to be fair! Would love to try it with a 3090 but they are like gold dust aren't they! Not sure why others have had problems selecting higher resolutions. The second it was plugged in it allowed me to select the maximum resolution of the TV which is full 4K.I ordered this so that we could easily connect a laptop to conference room equipment and when at home stream video to the living room TV. According to the box it can do 4K and 3D but with only HD TVs and projector equipment I have not tested this.This must be the highest quality and most durable HDMI lead I have ever seen. I'd recommend it to anyone.The cable is incredibly thick and rigid but the braided texture is smooth and doesn't stick. The cable doesn't get knotted because although it will straighten easy enough, it appears to have been 'twisted' during manufacture making it easier to coil away when not in use, 10m is a lot of cable! The 3 velcro cable tidies that come with it are very useful. The 90 degree adaptor is also very useful.The cable works excellently and functioned as expected with our 1080p telly.Word of advice. Due to the weight of the cable, if you are leaving it permanently connected I would advise using a piece of tape or using the velcro ties it comes with to take the strain off the HDMI socket on the back of your TV or device. Otherwise I could see the weight damaging a TV output over time, especially if it is being used with a wall mounted TV where you cannot see the back of the TV. This is not a negative point, just an observation.

Ok so lets start with the good.Build quality is great nice think wire with braiding.Comes with a nice little 90 elbownow the badSo i tried this with both a pc with a high end graphics card and a ps4 pro to try and get 4k working these cables failed to support it. With the ps4 both 4k options are greyed out and will not work at all and on the pc the recomended and top most resolution that was allowed is 1080p, yes you can try and force a 3840 by 2160 resolution but the projector (UHD51) only sees this output as 1080p tried this with both projector and 4k monitor.Conclusion if you want hd over 10m then yes its a good purchase if you want 4k forget it spend a bit more.

Great cables, only issue is that these do not appear to support CEC - I have much older cables which do, so I'm not really sure why these don't. Other than that, very happy, good quality, strong cables.** to update, Twisted Veins have been really excellent about this, have sent me 2 replacements which DO support CEC, and have been great at checking everything is now OK. Mistakes happen, but this has been brilliant follow-up customer service, and I highly recommend them! Changed to 5 stars. **

I ordered a pack of two of these, have used one for a PS4 for gaming and blu-rays and has worked a wonder.The other I packed away until it was needed. Yet when this second one was needed (3 months after purchase, unused) it wouldn't work with visible damages to the connections despite keeping it within the provided packaging (with the protectors attached).As such could not recommend.

I needed a 90 degree HDMI adapter quickly and this one, with prime delivery fitted the bill best. For me it was a great added bonus that it comes with two really good hdmi cables (and some random other bits like velcro cable ties, a keyring torch and a lens cleaning cloth).I would highly recommend this item.
