I thought this video was very informative and the host honest in the information he was presenting. I used the information given in this video to make my final decision concerning which HDMI cable to purchase for my new 65" LG television. Thank you for your honesty and the visual comparison you demonstrated to illustrate your findings and opinion. Thank you again and God Bless. Paul M.
Interestingly, I did an A/B test on my non HDR projector in my cinema room. There is a difference in contrast and the motion blur improved, but its was ever so subtle. I would say the upgrade is worth it, but don't go crazy and overpay for cables. I would say your cable is pretty spot on and the video is great! You helped me chose my fibre optic cable :)
Digital signals are as much subject to outside influence as is analogue signals. EMI and other outside factors can cause bit flipping, attenuation, cross talk, jitter, noise, impulse noise, echo or signal reflections, phase shift etc.. In digital there is error correction crc/tmds etc., these can detect corrupted data/bit flips etc. and ask for the signal to be resent, while data buffers can minimize jitter. But jitter is the main concern in digital data transfer. Optical cables are not subject to emi interference, and have no jitter but can have modal dispersion in multimode fibers, not single mode fibers used in hdmi and usb. A good quality cable matters, and optical is likely best even with the laser diode conversion of the signal, which is 1 to 1, there is no loss or errors.
I’d like to see the same test over a long cable run like 30 feet or more. Rumor is that’s where cooper develops degradation and fiber is claimed to be unaffected.
Yeah, there certainly can be signal attenuation over long copper runs given the method of data transfer. There is, however, no signal attenuation with light.
Years ago, I converted a coat closet to media closet and ran a CL3 rated (in wall rated) 50 foot copper HDMI in the wall, up in the attic, and down the wall from TV to closet, 1080p worked just fine, but once I switch to 4k on my oled tv and at the time new xbox one x, picture cut out immediately, that is the advantage to fiber optic!!
This may have already been said but my understanding regarding Fiber Optic HDMI is that it differentiates itself from traditional copper HDMI after 10 -12 feet? Anything less than that will look/sound identical?
I just bought two 6ft Ruipro 2.0 Ultra Slim HDMI Active Optical Fiber Cables and a 8k Ethernet cable & a Monster Box X1 Max Android 9.0 3D 6K to eventually cut the cord! But before I hooked up the Monster Box I swapped out the HDMI cable from the Xfinity DVR to my mid tier 50" Vizio and maaaan that 6ft HDMI Fiber made a huge difference! I'm finally getting the full 1080 & the sound is louder & crisper. When I hooked the Monster Box up with the 8k Ethernet cable & the second HDMI Fiber Cable, I swear 2hrs had passed by before I came up for air man I swear! I'm just a truck driver and a part time brain surgeon & I watched a few TH-cam videos to make the choice to invest in these pricey cables & it was well worth the extra money for the results that I got & I won't have to buy new cables when I upgrade my tv when Black Friday comes around 😁. I just wanted to chime in to say these 6ft'ers made a huge difference in my set up. Y'all stay safe✌🏿
Speed is what I'm interested in with shorter cables. I'm sure there isn't a noticeable difference but the fact remains that light/fiber is superior to copper. I'd like to see a ping test through copper vs fiber hdmi. I'm trying to figure out what device can do such a test.
You WILL experience attenuation and image degradation over longer runs of copper HDMI cable. That's really how the comparison should be done. It's pretty much a foregone conclusion that picture quality will not be noticeably different between copper HDMI and fiber at reasonable lengths within the copper HDMI cable specifications.
What will be interesting to see if there is any noticeable difference between cables when we have hdmi 2.1 devices supposedly outputting more data. Guess we'll find out in a few months.
My new LG77G1 is 10 meters away from the AVR so I dropped some cash on the cable. Ended up buying fiber optic by Inakustik to make sure I dont sacrifice any picture quality. No sense on spending a lot on picture quality and cheaping out on the cable if going long distance.
Does audio signal travels both ways through fibre hdmi??I want to connect my tv box to the hdmi in of the dolby atmos soundbar and the hdmi out(earc) to the arc port of the projector...but i want to know that if i connect ps5 or pc to projector , will i get the dolby atmos sound from my soundbar if i connect my soundbar and projector with fibre hdmi???does the source and target thing works with only video signals or with audio signals too??
Make sure your cable is firmly connected at both ends. If so, and you get a signal with a different HDMI cable, it's possible your fiber cable crapped the bed on you.

Your explanation of it being a pipe, a digital signal, working or not, is incorrect. If that was how digital signals worked we'd never have intermittent internet problems. Materials do matter. Now, if you're running it from a shelf on an entertainment to a location 5 feet away where it's only surrounded by wood, it won't matter. If you're running the hdmi cable through a wall or along other 120v + electrical sources, your signal will be much more susceptible to noise.

ive upgraded almost all my cables to fiber as the price has come down significantly.
Fibre optic HDMI I have done hundreds of checks and the fibre hdmi is 30% better picture short runs like 2-8 m then yes
I havnt test longer runs, say 25+ feet, but I strongly suspect fiber is better. Short runs, I see no difference.
@@steadychaosproductions3376 so with a 10footer would you see a difference?
@@jcZo23 no.

Dude thank you lol
@@cainification after watching this I bought a 30m model. It worked without a problem. I don't know how long it will last but it's great. I will move the HTPC/Game PC to the next room to eliminate fan noise. I paid an equivalent of 80usd in my local curreny from amazon.
No different. You got bamboozled.
i didnt think there would be much of a difference to be honest.
The only time fiber really comes into play is when one has really long runs.
copper cable are junk. all the kids on ps5 and xbox know. fiber huge difference
id agree over long runs mostly though.
@@steadychaosproductions3376 i plugged in a monster cobalt and went to tru motion. The "user" setting has blur and jutter. selecting it made a good size difference. then I ordered a 5 foot 3000 cable...now there is NO difference switching the user setting on and off.
@@carl16760 size does matter when it comes to HDMI signal - at least distance, anyway. Electrical signals get interfered with and attenuate over long distances, fiber signals do not.
This is well known.
That said, I cant blame someone going with all fiber for their HDMI cables.
@@steadychaosproductions3376 after this 5 foot experiment copper hdmi should be obsolete...done...gone
