5.0 out of 5 starsBest for ATV4K#2.
Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2022
I originally used an ultra high speed cable that worked okay, but I had little hiccups when using my soundbar,tv, and ATV4K and I mean little pauses,disconnects etc.My tv is a Sony A90J,my soundbar is Sony A7000 and an atv that I bought this winter.I connect my ATV through my soundbar as it’s capable of pass through for HDR and Vision. Apple apparently uses this particular cable for their testing and that’s the only reason why I purchased a $30 cable, but I’m extremely happy as my internal tv streaming was slowing down and the ATV was blazingly fast,along with improving picture quality and better audio.Make sure you have or can borrow a iPhone to set the ATV up at first.Anyway,the cable has been truly amazing and I’d say I’ve had NO MORE HANDSHAKE ISSUES. If you’re hesitant to pay $30 for a cable that normally costs $10(I was too)at least give it a shot.If you’re not having any problems with your current cable, then obviously keep it, but if you’re experiencing problems as I was,or especially if you’re going to be using a soundbar(or HomePods)having a tv with earc is a big deal, but not absolutely necessary.If using the input as I do with the soundbar,first make sure that your soundbar is capable of pass through for hdr,Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos,etc, and BUY THIS ASAP. I’m totally one of those people who doesn’t waste money on equipment that won’t make a difference. BASICALLY,all hdmi cables are the same,depending on your exact needs. I would say when using a 2.1 port with a 2.0 cable which people do,everything else will have trouble.Now I started using a cheap certified ultra high speed cable that didn’t click for some reason (maybe just an Apple thing?) as it should have.It was 48gbps which is important, but the Belkin Ultra High Speed Certified cable with Dolby Vision has just been amazing. No more issues,which when running many devices,IS A GREAT THING! Don’t listen to people who say it’s a scam,especially when running an ATV4K. GREAT HDMI CABLE,thanks Belkin.
