I need a 8mtr or so cable and am wondering on the difference between these two:
Ivuna HDMI Cables
Ikuna HDMI Cables
Ivuna HDMI Cables
Ikuna HDMI Cables
The No. 1 Home Entertainment Tech Community & Resource
What's the difference between these cables ?

Ikuna has a semi-foam dielectric that may make a slight difference on very long runs.
May well not make any difference at all.

8mtrs is probably not considered as being very long I wouldn't have thought. So the cheaper Ivuna could be the best option.

I haven't done much with long cables, perhaps someone else could chip in.
BTW, would it be direct from source to display device? Adding and wall plates etc. would be a risk.

Yeah it's going direct from source to display. It will be buried in a dry lined wall and across a ceiling. I'll probably get two tbh and test them before final install.

What are you sending from and at what resolution both look expensive

Expensive for 8mtrs @ £30, really ?
Sending from my Oppo BR player @ 1080p, no higher resolutions, yet.

Yes, very expensive.
Work on maximum of £2 per meter. All they need to be is High Speed Hdmi. If being fitted in wall use the saving to run a couple of cat 6 cables at same time as both a backup and future proofing

We don't sell 8m at the moment, sorry

Yeah just spotted that, no probs.

However you will get the idea from the prices. 10m would work fine I suspect for you at 1080p

We've used a fair few of the Ivuna and wouldn't expect you to have any problems.
I'd ensure you also run a couple of CAT6 and if possible run the cables in containment and avoid plastering directly to any cable.

Thanks Joe,
I will take care with the replastering etc. I'm going to remeasure to see if I can get away with maybe 7mtrs. Wether that will make a difference or not I'm not sure.

Found these cables on Amazon at a greatly reduced price
