    thanks for this video.
    I used to work in hi end AV and Hi-Fi sales and when digital signals like HDMI with linear PCM and beyond came about, I had to basically have this conversation with every customer I dealt with. Alot of them would refuse to believe it was at all possible to interfere with a binary signal and make even one of its "1's" or "0's" anything other then a carbon copy from transmitter to receiver . We actually had to set up a visual experiment with longer and longer HDMI cables (which at the time cost more then some peoples cars) showing signal lost as the transmission was taken further away from for a common source (through an understandably "EMI" noisy AV show room). the further the signal was taken the more data was lost resulting in complete loss of pixel data that "most" television picture processing units replaced with a generic solid green pixel.
    It got worse, as new and higher bandwidth signals came about like the fist "uncompressed" Dolby and DTS signals from "new" Full HD Blu-Ray players Along with "Deep-Colour" (the un-spoken and seldom remembered precursor to HDR, which disappeared with the slow death of Plasma TV which until the very recent introduction of OLED, was the only screen technology with the ability the produce the sadly missed but unforgettable colour tone known as BLACK), so much signal was forced through the HDMI pipes that entire blocks of colour data would be (in some cases) be replaced with this solid green replacement, and complete audio channels would violently pop in and out of existence.
    Just like everything with diminishing returns, it took us using over $40000NZD worth or AV gear to sell $1000 to $50000 AV systems to customers with deep pockets, that in all reality would use it to watch analog broadcast's of "Coronation Street", knowing it was better then their neighbors.

    If you want 4K60, make sure it's listed as an HDMI 2.0 or above. If you want 4K60 with HDR, make sure it's HDMI 2.0b or above (you're usually safe if they mention it has HDR support). If you want 4K120 or 8K60, make sure it's HDMI 2.1. If you need 1080p then buy whatever up to and including an HDMI 2.1 cable because they're all backwards comparable and they don't sell HDMI cables that lack the 1080p features you need. The premium vs standard thing is nonsense. I've seen cables advertised as premium that weren't 2.0 and it doesn't guarantee HDR support.
    I usually go with Amazon Basics cables for 1080p because they're cheap and they do the job. If I need something higher I buy the cheapest thing with the correct specs and good reviews. For example I needed a 1' HDMI cable to hook my PSVR box up to the PS4 Pro. So I got a 1' HDMI 2.0b cable with good reviews because it needed to be 4K60 with HDR.

    Just another note, for long runs (beyond 15 meters or so) I would say making the jump to ethernet or fiber optic is the way to go. Purchased a pair of 30 meter fiber optic HDMI cables to run to some projectors and they have been great, pretty much no delay or reduction in quality. Definitely would recommend them, and they are super thin.

    I got a 4k tv a couple months ago, and just built a new PC about a month ago. I've used the tv with my PC a couple times, but stopped becauseI couldn't figure out what the hell was going on that enabling HDR would now make the display cut out. This morning out of boredom I tried using the old heavy duty 25 ft HDMI cable I used to need, but is no longer practical and it worked. I figured I just damaged the new HDMI cable I had bought or something. I was literally getting my stuff to head to the store and buy the cheapest cable they had when I noticed this thumbnail on the techquickie page. Thank you for saving me from buying another junk cable. Thank you Mr. Strieb

      A common misconception. A fiber cable is not "faster" than a copper cable. Light and electrical energy are the same thing. Light is simply very, very, high frequency electrical energy. Look at the EM spectrum chart. Bottom is audio, top is Xrays and Gamma rays with light in the upper 3/4 of the scale. And they both obey the laws of propagation velocity, which is 66-68% the speed of light when traveling through matter - like copper or glass. In fact the fiber cable is actually a bit slower by several nanoseconds as the conversion from electrical to optical and back adds propagation delay.
