Featured Comments

Wasn't me, but after having probably ~200 different HDMI cables ranging from packed in crap to heavy gauge true commercial grade ones, spread over the past ~20 years, these are the only traditional non-active and/or non-fiber ones that have ever failed me. And it wasn't even a fluke. Two different ones of this model, one 3' and another 6'.

A decade ago I used to swear by Monoprice, and I still find some of their stuff a great value, but IMO they've greatly fallen off in terms of QC in the past few years. Really disappointing. Nowadays I usually roll with Cable Matters, Kabeldirekt, Ugreen, or Amazon Basics who somehow started making really great cables about a year or two ago.
Linus Tech Tips did a video where he used a $100k cable certification machine to test HDMI cables around the office, and the Monoprice cables did pretty poorly. Whatever factory they're sourcing these from hasn't been great, unfortunately.
Oof. These comments make me sad. MP used to be my "don't think, just buy" go-to for hdmi. Bummer

Wow. Someone really hated those, huh? left a one-star review for no reason. Usually solid cables.

I dunno... I recently ordered some hdmi 2.1 cables from them and haven't used them yet, but am now realizing how badly my older monoprice cables are doing. I have to juggle them to even have them work because they must bend over time. Maybe I should not be getting ones with ferrite cores anymore. That is probably what makes them pull, because of the weight, and eventually not fit in inputs tightly. So now I'll be stuck with all of the new ones....

In fact, I am wondering if one of their cables even damaged my hdmi input on my oppo player as it quit working and I am thinking the cable pulling down could have messed it up.

They were. He provided links to them and also the raw data from the tests for each. 4 of the 15 Monoprice cables failed.

I just got three of one of the ones that failed (didn't see that data before buying) and having issues with two of them. Returned them for Zeskit Maya ones.

Anyone confirm the legitimacy of this HDMI 2.1 cable? I love buying monoprice cables & speakers but they got called out for fudging all the HDMI 2.1 cables a few years back like many other cheap cable companies, not sure if they ever fixed the issue.

Monoprice cables nowadays arent up to spec as they used to be. Mainly because to meet HDMI 2.1 standard it requires a higher level of engineering and tolerance. Cheap cables used to be able to get away with it since the speeds werent that fast at lower resolutions and frame rates. But since HDMI 2.1 being 48gbps which is crazy fast for a port of this size (HDMI 2.1 is basically 3x faster than a PCIE 4.0 x16 lane). Its now more important than ever to have manufactures actually meet spec to transfer the high framerates & high resolution image data properly.

A lot of companies were exposed to lying about being 2.1 compliant/certified. The only one that I'm certain of nowadays is Zeskit because they care about meeting spec. My only issue w/ them is that they don't make a lot of longer runs for HDMI 2.1 because the longer the run the harder it is to manufacture a HDMI 2.1 cable for.
