GTEK HDMI 2.1B Ultra 8k High-Speed Cable Review

Length can often be an issue with HDMI cables, especially when considering the placement of the TV vs the console. Thankfully, GTEK offers an affordable 3M long ultra-certified version 2.1b HDMI cable to ensure easy setup and, of course, high-speed data, including 8K. But wait, there’s a whole lot more of features for the GTEK HDMI 2.1B Ultra 8k High-Speed Cable;

Setting up the GTEK HDMI 2.1B Ultra 8k High-Speed Cable with your next-gen console is a breeze. Simply plug one end into the HDMI port on the PlayStation 5 (or Pro) and the other end into a HDMI 2.1 port. If you connect it to an incorrect port (e.g., HDMI 2.0), you won’t experience the full functionality of the cable, which includes the 48Gbps bandwidth that offers 120 fps and 4K UHD.

Another benefit of the GTEK HDMI 2.1B Ultra 8k High-Speed Cable is its length—3 metres is fantastic. It easily allowed me to connect it from my PS5 Pro to our TV without negotiating space, making setup a breeze. The excess cable was then neatly tucked away, and with such a long cable, it should prevent damage to the cable and your devices as you try to connect shorter cables desperately. The quality of the cable is also out of this world with its braded cabling and gold connectors.

So once connected to our PlayStation 5 Pro, we were treated to high quality visuals at 120 frames per second. Games such as Call of Duty Black Ops 6, God of War Ragnarök, Horizon Forbidden West and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 looked fantastic on this console. Additional streaming 4K films and TV series from Netflix and Disney+ looked equally as impressive.

Final Thoughts?

If you’re looking for an affordably priced 2.1 HDMI cable, this is the one you need. Available at stores like JB Hi-Fi, the GGTEK HDMI 2.1B Ultra 8k High-Speed Cable is a well-made product that will take your gaming and 4K UHD to new levels, plus it’s ultra-certified!

Highly Recommended!
