Hdmi cables

[stuie]

Yes I know these things are all the same however

Oled plugged into yamaha receiver via a high speed although probably 1.4 5m hdmi cable.

Mostly everything I plug into the amp works including 4k netflix via v6 box.

The problems start with more advanced things like arc which just doesn't work, also if I turn on 4k processing on the amp I get masses of artefacts to the point where I lose signal completely same thing happens if I force 2160 on the v6 box.

My guess is it's the cable as it's a brand new tv and amp.

I can't move the amp or tv closet so I need a better than a 5 quid ebay cable to get things working consistantly.

Anyone got experience of decent but also value 5m cables?

If only there was an independent certification system for HDMI?
I don't know, I'd probably call it something like "Premium Certified" or similar.
I would then make sure these cables were tested and approved for 4k/HDR and then issue a certificate, probably in the form of a QR code that potential customers could scan to ensure they were genuine.
Seems like a really good way to remove the guess work. I wouldn't force any manufacturer to join of course, it would be up to them.
But I know, as a customer, I'd then look for that certificate I know it would just work.

Thanks for you input
