On ordering a new UHD television, I need to replace my 12 year old HDMI (1.3) cables.

What do others here recommend?

This Amazon HDMI cable is available in multiple lengths and I use them to connect a sound bar, Oppo 203 and SkyQ to my LG 4k oled tv, not had any problems at all.

I use this: Antiference HDMI cable because its premium certified (and a good price too). Prior to that I had bad experiences with (expensive) Audioquest HDMI cables not working in my Oppo-203; UHD722; LG OLed set up as have been documented elsewhere

I've just bought and installed a 4K TV. I've used 'certified' 18Gbs cables from Kenable. Quite cheap, but excellent quality.

I agree that the Amazon cables seem to do the job. It may be useful to invest in a better power cable for the TV though. I use a Nordost Heimdahl2 modified to fit to the Pioneer Kuro and it seems to remove a little noise and make the picture more punchy in Pure Cinema mode.

I have found the Tributaries cables to be very reliable. All are tested to meet or exceed the latest HDMI specification before they are shipped.

Thanks for the advice...

For my AppleTV4K, I bought a CYP Premium Certified HDMI Cable.
For my older Humax Freeview and Freesat recorders, I bought Amazon Basics HDMI Cables.
