So I had an Audioquest Pearl lying around the house. It came free with my Denon amp. Anyway I was planning to sell it however I was bored and I thought I would just use it.
I always swore by the Amazon Basic cable and was under the belief that HDMI 2.0 cables are all the same...oh boy I was wrong.
The picture looked much crisper and less grainy. Colours looked more natural. Upscaling seemed better. HDR mode instantly switches on without the screen going black for a bit. I was in slight shock.
I tried a certified premium cable (Monoprice) and it had the same performance as the Amazon Basics. But this Audioquest Pearl has really sold me.
Ther is a video in YouTube that compares both cables and you can clearly see a difference so it's not just me.
For people like me who want to best of the best picture I think it's worth spending a little extra.
Food for thought I guess. I would like your thoughts on this. Anyone agree or disagree?
