Okay, so I've got my new LG G4 and I've managed to score a Panasonic UDP820 4K blu ray player. What HDMI cable are you guys recommending to get the most out of my new gear? I know all cables aren't created equal so looking for advice.
Which HDMI cable do you guys recommend?

It's a digital connection so no need to overspend.
I'm not looking to overspend, pal. I just want a good quality cable that allows me to get the best experience.
"Ultra High Speed" is what you're looking for, as that'll take anything you throw it

Does he really need this as they are more expensive, or would High Speed do? I guess it's futureproofing, but wouldn't it depend on the output bandwidth of his bluray player?

Kenable certified range, good quality. UK based available from their own site and Amazon storefront.
You're talking about a few quid, it's not worth messing about deliberately trying to find lower spec versions of cables.
This. Was going to suggest these guys also.
I use them for all my gear they work great.

Of course, if they don't cap off the unused and exposed HDMI ports on the device with the noise stopper caps, otherwise a fine purchase.
AudioQuest HDMI Input / Output Noise-Stopper Caps (Set of 4)
To reduce the amount of RF interference entering your AV system we recommend "capping" all unused HDMI Ports.

. As the saying goes, a fool and his money. Must be some proper mental gymnastics when trying to prove it's better than any other cable and to justify buying it.
