Ғылым және технология
We got our hands on the world's first certified HDMI 2.1 cable (officially known as Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable as stipulated by HDMI Licensing Administrator) from Zeskit, and explain what the certification means in terms of 48Gbps, as well as various HDMI 2.1 features such as ALLM, eARC, VRR, 4K@120Hz & 8K@60Hz.
The Zeskit Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable (certified HDMI 2.1 48Gbps) can be purchased here*: geni.us/hdmi21cable

Your sense of humor is incredible🤣 your presentation comes off as so dry and to the point like a college lecture, but then you just slip in these one liners that kill me, and you just carry on as if nothing happened. 🤣 “don’t we all” 😂
Bought two of these a while back. Had success with them and was happy, so I ordered another one recently. The new one came with the certification sticker, and the box was little different. Glad to know I picked a winner.

Just ordered 2 because I need longer cables for my ps5 & series x . Your review sent me in the right direction and they were also very affordable vs the $65 monster one I was considering . Thank you very much for this ! Very thorough as well .
I literally got these same cables in the mail today. Thank You for the videos!
I’m glad I found this video I had no idea you can certify an HDMI cable through an app and also test it with an AVR, thanks a lot man!
This was a VERY HELPFUL video that answered many questions I had regarding HDMI 2.1 "Ultra High Speed HDMI Cables." Thank you sir!
Ty for clearing up the confusion of different types of hdmi cables. I just bought the zeskit cable after watching this.
I just stumbled upon these Zeskit cables recently. I bought one and liked it so much that I bought two more (one for my PS4 Pro, the other for my Directv box). Very impressive. 😊👍🏽
*In the year 2027* : Introducing HDMI 3.0. Be on the lookout for the label on the box that says Ultra High Speed Pro Max 14nm+++++ certified.

Thank you very much for the video Vincent.
Thank you been looking for certified 2.1 cables your video helped greatly !
@HDTVTEST On the CX. There is a HDMI diagnostics menu. First open up the hidden menu by highlighting programme manager, then press 1 five times. Then it will show you host memory frame rate etc, but you can actually highlight hdmi mode*. Select it and this will open up a hdmi diagnostic menu. Pretty useful so i just thought id share. Especially if you have a c9( or are on older firmware for cx like me.)
Hi Teoh ... Thanks for all your videos
Very happy with this purchase.
I have been using the 15ft and 6ft zeskit cables with zero issues going from PS5 to TSR-700 receiver to my old-ish Samsung 4K tv. Awesome cables. They deliver on what they promise. If anyone’s on the fence on these hope off it and buy yourself a set. No regrets on my end!
I literally bought this cable yesterday for my soundbar. Was wondering if it was certified for real but you answered my question, thanks for the vid. The one on my XSX long enough but will be buying another for a PS5, if I can get one lol.
Your awesome man I love your videos. Your smart as hell. Everytime I watch your videos I learn something new. 💯
This guys sense of humour is pure gold. I just spent 13 minutes watching a video on HDMI cables and didn't die of boredom. I just ordered the 5M Maxonar (Certified) - This is to connect my 3090 to my LG BX 4k 120Hz OLED. Hoping it actually works at the cost for £28 for a cable. I guess I've spend this much on a GPU and TV, I may as well waste more on a cable.
I ordered these cables several months ago to prepare for next gen consoles and beyond. They run inside my wall and are the real deal. Highly recommended
Thanks for what you do for the community I liked and subscribed
Well done! Keep up the great work .
Great video, love the hat. My dad WORKED for TECHNICOLOR in HOLLYWOOD, right NEXT to UNIVERSAL STUDIOS. KEEP the great videos coming. Thank you
Nice video. Thanks for the Denon cable test trick, I didn't knew it. But if we talk about hdmi cable qualities I am missing one important aspect, which is durability. Most people ignore it but many cheap cables (both audio and hdmi) work fine first months but they oxidize over the time and start causing glitches later. It would be great if you could mention how they aged in one of your future videos after one year or so.
Thank you SO MUCH for your efforts! You are THE BESTEST OF THE BEST! Indeed! I saw many different channels, and you explain very clear and detailed! Thank you! Just keep going! I wish to you ONE MILLION subscribers!
Great product, thanks for your recommendation.
Rocketfish in the US via Best Buy had the 1st certified HDMI 2.1 Cables. Although they cost more, I purchased 1 while waiting on Zeskit to finally get certified/QR code labels.
Let’s see a comparison of old cables vs new certified ones with the avr test for comparison, that would be nice.

What he's saying is lets see if there's a difference cuz not all hdmi cords that ARE NOT CERTIFIED work properly. Some that aren't certified actually wont give u full 48GBPS. This is a lil different than hdmi 2.0 cords where even the non-certified ones worked just fine. These are a lil more complicated for now.
Great video! Huge fan from Toronto, Canada
Just ordered one. Well done 👍🏼

Thank you for this review. I was so confused by.different cables.
Bought these last December. Quality is great and haven't had an issue yet. Havent been able to fully utilize since I'm still waiting on a solid AV reciever that is sub $600 and that supports 2.1 and waiting on my ps5 to ship.
thanks bro just bought one with your link.
hey, tI got four of these for my lg gx ; glad to know I picked a winner :P
Very helpful, thanks!
I bought 4 of the 5m in-wall rated Zeskit cables about a week and a half ago for my 65" GX install. Unfortunately, due to the thickness, using all 4 of them resulted in the TV being unable to be flush-mounted the way it was designed. After some troubleshooting with the installers, they came back out and ended up running 1 of the Zeskit cables and 3 AudioQuest 48 cables (2 10ft Pearl, 1 10ft Forest for E-ARC). It would have been all Pearl due to price, but all of the stores around me only had a cable here and a cable there, couldn't find 3 Pearls in-stock locally. Yes, I know they are snake oil cables. And the price hurts. But, the Pearls and Forest were the only thinner 48Gbps cables I could find that were in-wall rated as of November 2020. I know Rocketfish just came out with a line, but they look to be equally as thick as the Zeskit. I just hope the Audioquests are up to par. Currently using one on my PS5 and am not noticing anything off, but then again the bandwidth on the PS5 is limited as of now as we all know.
thanx i just ordered one right now
I bought the 16’ Zeskit off Amazon about a month ago. I don’t love it due to how stiff it is. I need it longer to run though my wall to my media center. Wish it was a little bit more flexible
Great work
You need to test Atmos too with 48 gbit/s. Many had problems with it on Zeskit cable. 😝😝
He said "the reason you desire a better cable is extra length, don't we all" 🤦🏾♂️😂
I bough a 8k HDMI cable half a year ago from Amazon and it works fine for my LG CX and 3080 4k@120hz HDR. Let's hope we'll have thinner version of these cable soon.
Could you do a test for the longer (optical) HDMI 2.1 cables? As certification for those will not come any time soon.
Would be interesting to see those amazon 2.1 hdmi cables without certification and see how many of them work and comparing them with the certified one.

I have ordered CableDeconn 5 m long 2.1, but I'm not so sure it will get me UHD@120Hz, but I'd be happy to get 60 Hz HDR for that price.
Thank you sir for the info... feel smarter by the minute!
Good to know that Zeskit 5m cable works for 4K 120hz! I've bought RTX 3080 for my LG C9 and spent hours to make it work for 4K 120hz and failed. Even active optical cable (which advertised as 48Gbps bandwidth and $80 price!) didn't work. I had to pull off the bundle cable for PS5 and put it for PC. It worked, of course. So I'm looking for a 5m cable and you it looks like HDTVTest found one for me. 😂 Shame they don't sell in Korea. My cables are being shipped across the pacific.
just picked up a few of these on your affiliate link :)
VIncent, you need to be a sitcom... seriously!!!
These are incredible just bought for my 4k roku box and ps4 pro to connect to my 4k monitor
Thanks for this review these are the cables I am looking at but was worried cuz I need a 16ft one and was not sure if it would be too long.
Great Video thank you. I would love to see a comparison on a 8k Tv with different cables and various lengths.
My non certified after a few months started to give me screen blackouts! So I got this cable.
Thanks dude.
Thanks I purchased these way before your videos and figured these were the best on market. Off topic can you confirm VRR freesync work now after latest PS5 update?
I ordered one and did not come with a certification badge on the box, so am returning. Make sure if you order one too, it has the badge.

Hello Vincent.Can you make a detailed video on Sony's Firmware merges of X950G/H /Z8 and compare with older firmware regarding PQ improvements?
I ordered two Zeskit cables (3m): one for my LG CX 65 TV (which I connect to my receiver) and another one for my LG SN11RG sound bar (which I connect to my TV eARC (HDMI 2)) and both work perfectly. I'm still puzzled as to why the LG SN11RG only comes with an optical cable though!
I really love your channel and pretty much watch all your content for a long time. But now I have my first question. I am looking to buy HDMI 2.1 kabels for my Ps5 and Series X and would like to know if there is a certain length where latency starts or the signal will get a little bit less powerful. The kabels that came with the ps5 are only 1,5 Meter. I think I need around 3/5 Meters, I play a lot of competition shooters where you want the fastest and best signal going in my LG65GX. Does it matter the length of the kabel? Thanks and keep up the good work!👍
"..because you desire a longer lenght.. don't we all" damn
I have a Belkin Hdmi-2.1-cable for over a year now! Looks nice, like a fat, black apple lightning-cable, of cause it was made for apple-tv with dolby vision. It’s package says: 48gb/sec, VRR, e-ark, 4K/120hz, resolution up to 10k.
Is 5 meter the longest available? I remember there being some issue/reason why DisplayPort 1.4 cables couldn't be longer than a certain length. Do you think there will be longer HDMI 2.1 cables coming soon?
Hey Vincent can u check out if there are any 10m+ optical cables? Every single one i found on Amazon(Germany) appears to be less bandwidth than advertised, alteast according to comments.
Please review long optical hdmi 2.1 cables like RUIPRO

I need an 8m HDMI cable to get from my PC to my LG CX but there aren't any certified cables of that length yet and the cables that are out there are "Fiber Optic". Will these cables do the job that I need or are they a scam?
Can you measure input lag passing the signal through the Denon AVR to the TV using one of this 5m cable? Just to confirm that there is no additional input lag.
Vincent, is there a reasonably affordable standalone HDMI tester available in order to determine HDMI cable’s bandwidth and HDMI level? (besides the AV amp you used in a previous video). Thanks
Would love to see a video on current AV receivers and which, if any, aren't subject to the limitations of that Panasonic chip.

Hi Vincent, I’ve been told by Audioquest directly that their 48 range of HDMI cables are also 2.1 Certified, could you confirm this? In regards to the specific model it was the Pearl 48 & Forest 48 but they said their whole new range of ultra high speed 2.1 hdmi cables are all certified. They also mentioned that their new boxes that ship, there will be the certification logo on the box? Apparently they got certification about 6 or so weeks ago
Any idea on how good is Bluerigger 8K HDMI 2.1 cable?
Please can you do an indepth test of some cables with ps5/xbox. I cant seem to find the one you recommend in the UK.
You should test some of the cables that are not "certified" but claim HDMI 2.1. I bought a couple from Amazon that claim they are 48gbs, but don't have the certification.
Hi Vincent, and what do you think about Club 3d ultra high speed cable ? This one is also fully certified 2.1 hdmi cable, i ve seen on amazon and other website that it was a very good 2.1 hdmi cable ?
Can you please review the monster hdmi cable with led strip in the end??
Vincent. Few of us would like to know with our CX lg tvs. When we bash the green button a few times. The first line always reads at 5.5hz. Could you expain why that number is there?
What take on latest super long 15 ft. 9ft THX HDMI wire how they differ in performance and is it as good brand claims and is audioquest HDMI ideal for ps5 and Xbox and Apple TV and so fourth when comes to use?
Hi Vincent, should I use RGB Limited/Full or 4:4:4 chroma for my Samsung C9 OLED for use with an Nvidia GTX 3090 on my PC which is connected to my C9 ?

Hello Vincent. I've read that the 5 meter Zeskit cables are very bulky in that they are hard to bend. How much clearance would I need between the wall and my graphics card to allow for it to sufficiently bend (horizontal distance to wall) so I can arc it 90 degrees towards the floor. Are there HDMI 2.1 angle adapters that would still allow for full bandwidth over 5 meters? Also which LG TV are you using in this test? Thank you, please help me adjust my length.
7:15 - It's quite long and thick... flight pause to decide whether or not he wanted to draw attention to the phallic reference lol.

3:32 Reason why you may need a new cable is because you desire a longer length. You know. Don't we all.
I have a 75 inch Sony X950H and a Samsung Q950A 11.1.4 (2021 model) soundbar. I used the provided hdmi cable that Samsung included in the box. I have the new 4K Apple TV connected to sound bar in HDMI in with the only belkin HDMI cable Apple sells. Then my soundbars EARC port to my X950H EARC port, with the provided hdmi cable Samsung sent with the soundbar. Are those cables good for EARC?
How do we do the HDMI Diagnostics on the Denon X2700h? Need longer 8m cables and Zeskit only goes up to 16ft.
I wish they made 8 and 10 meter cables. The Monoprice ones are very expensive.
Have you tested the Zeskit Lite 48Gbps Slim Certified Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable? I'm connecting the PS5/A90J. Thanks for your PS5 HDR config video. I'll have to redo it after I select a Zeskit cable. Cheers
@vincent teoh. Did you experience any hdmi handshake issue on booting up rtx 3090. No signal message. I constantly do with belkin hdmi 2.1 with LG C9 on firmware 05.00.03
I bought some monoprice cables that had certified 2.0 stickers that passed the app checked. I've noticed intermittent horizontal white lines going across the screen ever since I switched to these "certified" cables. I'm using the cable supplied with my Nintendo Switch right now but I doubt that's optimal. Any suggestions for good 2.0 cables?
