Wouldnt wanna sacrifice any quality..
My god, $7,000? I could buy five HDMI cables for that!
When you're feeling the inevitable buyer's remorse, just remind the people laughing at you that it was endorsed by Sylvester Stallone. Probably won't help, but worth a try.
This HDMI Cable: AudioQuest HDMI
Sample review:
>I was planning to move out of Mom's basement with all the money I saved for the last 20 years but then I decided to buy this cable instead. Now I am not a popular guy with the ladies, but once I brought a couple of my chess club buddies home to see this new cable hooked up to my TV, they told their friends who told there friends and now I have been the talk of the neighborhood.
this HDMI cable is sold for $1000 but yet people don't buy it because it's worth $1000. They buy it for tax write-offs and then they return it.
Those million dollar paintings aren't worth $1,000,000. They're purchased for money laundering, tax write-offs, and accounting fraud.
price does not always equal worth.
The second most common and foolish mistake is not buying the AudioQuest Diamond HDMI braided cord. Its under $1500 but there is only 4 left in stock! If you don't believe me read the reviews. (https://www.amazon.com/AudioQuest-Diamond-6-56-Braided-Cable/dp/B003CT2A2M)
gold? pffffff https://www.amazon.com/AudioQuest-Diamond-6-56-Braided-Cable/dp/B003CT2A2M get on my level scrub
AudioQuest Diamond 2m (6.56 feet) Braided HDMI Cable only $1,000.00 USD on Amazon. Link: https://www.amazon.com/AudioQuest-Diamond-6-56-Braided-Cable/dp/B003CT2A2M/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
It's even more comical with digital data standards, a <strong>$1,800</strong> HDMI cable for example...
Fuck that. It's on Amazon for $400 less! Ratuken is a ripoff!!
you mean something like this from amazon?
Sounds like a fake Amazon review... Oh god, how many of those "joke reviews" may have in fact been the real deal? I better get me a few AudioQuest Diamond HDMI Cables.
It's just """high end"""" hdmi BS. Ebay, amazon and anywhere else really has a few of them. You can see a stack of joke reviews everywhere for it. Some here: https://www.amazon.com/AudioQuest-Diamond-6-56-Braided-Cable/dp/B003CT2A2M
​
As noted in the amazon Q&A section:
Question:
why would you buy this?
Answer:
No one would buy such an overpriced cable. As you can see there is not even one review with "Amazon verified purchase" mark. Do the math :) It's just a cable , nothing more. For long distance(more than 50ft) you will need extender/repeater, that's all.
​
It's not false advertising just overpriced. You can get the same quality from any cable that can push 18GB/s. Some amazon basic cables would work just as well as this one for about $20. Hell I had to run cable the length of the entire house over 50ft so I went with an optical fibre HDMI with a powered repeater and it only cost $130AUD.
​
Probably more of an answer then expected but audio quest does make for a good laugh.
Dude, forget that, get some $1500 diamond cables.

Read the Amazon Questions and Reviews about this cable. It is funny as hell.
Why bother with $30 crap when you can buy a truly premium HDMI cable?
We're not dangerously close tbqh:
$500 Ethernet cable from Denon for their "Link"
Retro-access's prices are higher, but it surely is not audiophile snake-oil lunacy. She was making cables before anyone on eBay (US) and were always $20-28, before the cheaper ones were a cut-rate option.
The Q1 is far better than the DF Black and its size is palpable. The internal battery of the Q1 will also prevent super fast drainage of your phone's battery.
Audioquest is mostly selling overpriced garbage and $2000 HDMI cables
would this product qualify?
You trying to tell me that my diamond HDMI cable is not worth $13,000? We can fight.
You need to use this.
https://www.amazon.com/AudioQuest-Diamond-6-56-Braided-Cable/dp/B003CT2A2M
No, you need this cable.
yes but you need this to realize its full potentioal:
i hope you used this cable otherwise you don't maxismize your performance /s
It's not just audio http://www.amazon.com/AudioQuest-Diamond-6-56-Braided-Cable/dp/B003CT2A2M
I only use AudioQuest Diamond HDMI Cables. Anything less would be uncivilized.
Amazon isn't always cheap: http://www.amazon.com/AudioQuest-Diamond-6-56-Braided-Cable/dp/B003CT2A2M
As I see it, that rate (more like our refresh rate) is probably more closely related to the 10ms timescale mentioned in the first Wikipedia article I linked, reference 4 (paywall). The author of the Wikipedia article implies that subjects couldn't discern two colors as individual when they came after one-another on the order of 10ms. I unfortunately can't independently check this due to the paywall :(.
Anyhow, it seems like this ca. 10ms refresh rate is close to the speed at which we run into problems of image persistence (and thus diminishing returns in increasing framerates), though it seems like current science doesn't know where that limit is for certain. Either way, we can't even tell something happened if it was faster than 1/240th of a second (~5ms). Much faster is almost certainly overkill (ie. 2000fps I'd expect to be undifferentiable from 1000fps). I could certainly be wrong, though...
I wanted to make a quick comment about your earlier post: >First, don't we have 144hz displays already? And people can certainly tell the difference between 80fps vs 144fps, right? Or else nobody would buy those monitors? Also, it was announced that James Cameron is going to have Avatar 2 in theaters at 120fps. I doubt people in Hollywood would put those extra frames in there for nothing
I think we've got to be careful of using the argument that, if people buy things, there must be a tangible benefit (besides enjoying it more because it's more expensive/fancier). There's plenty of silly stuff that people will spend money on. Often it's just for padding the spec sheet to add perceived value. For example, I'm of the opinion that there's no reason to have a phone with a display that's 8k since there's not really a perceptible difference - it's not physically possible to discern the pixels at a reasonable distance (~6 inches or so). That's not to say that it's impossible to make improvements to current phone displays (brighter, better viewing angles, etc.), just that 4k is a reasonable limit in necessary resolution, and 4k seems like overkill, or at least the threshold of it. An 8k display and a 4k display of identical quality in every other respect should thus be undifferentiable from one-another (except in their power consumption and memory/CPU usage...).
Nonsense, everyone's know that a good HDMI cable can upscale your resolution to 6K and 200Mhz, i personally recommend this one http://www.amazon.com/AudioQuest-Diamond-6-56-Braided-Cable/dp/B003CT2A2M

The Amazon listing of this product is quite the ~~gold~~ diamond mine.
>"This a wonderful cable, I must admit. My pixels are now perfectly square, and the color range is phenomenal, extending both into the infra-red and ultraviolet. This is a little disconcerting at first, since there seem to be an inordinate number of gibbering, drooling hell-born nightmares that inhabit the edges of the visible spectrum. However, I was able to successfully cleanse my living room with a Zima, a pinch of turmeric and a copy of 'Twilight: New Moon'.
>It seems that I did make a nearly fatal mistake, however. So enamored with this cable was I that I purchased a second for my bedroom TV. In the course of events, which need not be described here, I carelessly coupled the two cables to each other, a la the ouroboros. There was a blinding flash of light, and when my vision returned, it seemed that I had inadvertently opened a portal to 1961. Not wanting to waste an opportunity, I leaped into the portal. The journey itself was not unpleasant, although I did have to share my wormhole with a very sheepish looking Barack Obama, who apparently had some business to attend to in 1961 that seemed to involve some sort of typed document.
>On arriving in Vermont in 1961, I sought out a drugstore to experience real sugar Coca-Cola for myself. The drink was quite refreshing, I must say. In any event, I chanced to meet in said drugstore a sweet young girl who seemed to be quite taken with me. Over the course of the evening we became more friendly, and one thing led to another until carnal events transpired. Upon waking up the following morning, I informed my new paramour that I needed to return to my own home. She was quite inconsolable, and insisted that she would wait for my return, refusing all suitors until that time.
>Having thus somewhat disentangled myself from the generous lady, I returned home and broke the circuit. It was only in the following days that I realized why the girl had seemed so familiar. I can no longer look my mother in the face, and I now also have to deal with sudden disappearance of my father, who, according to my mother, left for parts unknown before I was born.
>Aside from that minor mishap, there seem to be no other serious repercussions, aside from the fact that all human males now seem to possess only one penis. It has made my love-life somewhat difficult, as you can imagine."
I'd do what any rational newly wealthy person would do...buy this

You should get this HDMI cable. It will solve world hunger. /s

AudioQuest (the makers of the superb AudioQuest Diamond HDMI Cables) also make a titanium-housed USB drive with beryllium flange. They are also coming out with a 1 EB HAMMR drive (Heat Assisted Mega Magnetic Recording) but that's going to burn a hole in your pocket, I think. Their USB drive is guaranteed for 500 years or until USB becomes obsolete, whichever comes first. Check out the reviews - they're a quality company and many buyers are very very satisfied indeed. ^(/s)
Monster cables are amazing, but they pale in comparison to diamond braided HDMI cables by AudioQuest.
http://www.amazon.com/AudioQuest-Diamond-6-56-Braided-Cable/dp/B003CT2A2M
So I should buy a diamond HDMI cable instead of a normal one? http://www.amazon.com/AudioQuest-Diamond-2m-Braided-Cable/dp/B003CT2A2M Because you know... it's more expensive.
