I received this item in exchange for a fair and unbiased review.
Upon receipt I unpackaged the cable. Pretty basic packaging, nothing fancy just a plastic baggy indicating what was in it.
The link below to a shared Google Photos folder has all the photos I took while unpackaging.

The cable is wrapped in a mesh shielding that prevents snagging and pinching of the cable. In my household the blue accents on the cable go nicely with everything my A/V setup in the livingroom.
The connectors are touted to be 24k gold plated – I am no jeweler so I can’t verify this, so lets see if it can handle 4K !
My previous HDMI cable was unable to be used at 4k resolutions, the best I could get was 1080p/1080i, so changing the resolution was the big test.
I used the cable to connect my HTPC (Home Theater PC) to my Vizio 4k TV – I had no problems getting full 4k resolution out of it! I watched some 4k videos off of YouTube, and then played some video off of the PC via KODI (aka XBMC) – WOW – what a big difference over the 1080p I was used to! Everything was so real looking it was like looking out of a window into another world! Seriously, it looked like those TVs you see as demos at your local big-box retail stores!
It’s available on Amazon – here’s the link! Current pricing at the time of me writing this is $10.99 – less than most of the cheap HDMI cables you find at your local stores, with all the benefits of the high-dollar cables!
