Reddit reviews Monoprice 115428 Certified Premium HDMI Cable - 6 Feet - Black, 4K@60Hz, HDR, 18Gbps, 28AWG, YUV 4:4:4, Dual Video Stream

YUV420 is the same as RGB, just with the color compressed down to 1080p. Our eyes are less sensitive to color information than they are to luminance, so the difference is typically imperceptible. And the only difference would be a very light color bleed around the edges.

If you see a significant difference in the way colors display, then that's your TV's settings, not the ps4.

That flashing means your HDMI cable doesn't have enough bandwidth for 4K60 in RGB and is dropping the signal. If you buy a premium certified cable (the Pro's included cable is not certified) it should solve that. The cheapest one on the market is from Monoprice:

But any cable with that specific QR code (to prove certification) will work.

Certified Premium High Speed HDMI Cable - $6.89

The best part is, they aren't expensive. I use these and they work perfectly with Dolby Vision and HDR10.

You need to look for a HDMI Premium certified cable.

The answer is premium CERTIFIED cables. The ones with the QR code on the packaging. If they dont have the QR code then they arent certified no matter what the package says. I had the same issue and this fixed it. All cable are not created equal. even the exact brand model vary between cables. Premium certified are actually pulled and tested for specifically this.

Hi again, I just reset the sound bar and while it did not inherently fix the problem I did stumbled upon a workaround that seems to at least be reliable.

1. play video from Apple TV 4k
   
   
2. the tv displays "No Signal" screen while playing audio out of sound bar
   
   
3. power off sound bar
   
   
4. TV displays passthrough 4k video and plays audio through internal TV speakers
   
   
5. Turn sound bar back on
   
   
6. TV displays 4k video and Atmos / 5.1 etc play out of the sound bar
   
   
   And to answer your question yes - I am using a certified HDMI cable, I am using these:

I bought a 5x1 4K switch just for this purpose and it's been great. That way I have a single input to my 4K tv, but can switch between the sources with the remote that comes with the switch.

This is the one I got:

Make sure you get good high-speed HDMI cables for each connection, too:

No, all HDMI cables will NOT always pass a 4K signal. You need PREMIUM, CERTIFIED, 4K cables that have the gold HDMI.org logo. Many new 4K users are experiencing this problem. Here's what I(and many electronics enthusiasts) are using($10):

I too had an "4K HDMI" cable that wouldn't work on DirecTV's 4K channel, then I switched it out for the Monoprice cable...problem solved.

This is the cable everyone should be using: https://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-Certified-Premium-Speed-Cable/dp/B01GCGKI3O/ref=sr_1_1

High Speed with Ethernet means it’s at least HDMI v1.4.

There’s 4 categories of cable:

• Category 1: Standard
  
• Category 2: High Speed
  
• Category 3: Premium High Speed, 18Gbps and works with HDMI v2.0. Not sure if all distances though, those state the same gusts up to 10ft, and blue jeans specifically state their FE cable is Premium up to 15ft.
  
• Category 4: 48G, works with HDMI v2.1; not yet released.
  
  They are all backwards-compatible.

Grab a $6 Certified Monoprice HDMI cable off amazon if you’re in the states.

Had the same problem, got the cable and the problem hasn’t returned.


Edit: I tried the safe mode thing as well, but it didn’t last long.

The reboots happened to me on the stock firmware 1.1.14.1 I went ahead and updated yesterday to 1.1.17.1 and haven't had one yet. I did get a black screen on the PS4 pro though. There's a video on Youtube where setting the PS4 TV settings to YUV420 fixed the black screen on his Vizio P. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hq9fzRtGCkc

I also read using a certified high speed cable from Monoprice fixed the black screen for some people. https://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-115428-Certified-Premium-18Gbps/dp/B01GCGKI3O

Club3d CAC-1080 adapter+Monoprice Certified Premium HDMI Cable

Don't buy the receiver from Amazon. You need something with a phono input and you should get something with decent room correction which pretty much means you're buying a refurbished Denon.

• Refurbished AVR-X1500H from Accessories4Less ($300)
  
• Roll of Monoprice 14AWG Speaker Wire $25
  
• Sanus speaker stands in black or cherry $80
  
  Then whatever amount of HDMI cables you need should cost you $12 for a two pack. I recommend Monoprice high speed certified.

That's because high speed cables have at minimum 10.2 gbps bandwidth (this is the full bandwidth of the old HDMI 1.4 spec) and are not capable of the full 18gbps bandwidth of the HDMI 2.0 spec, required for 4k60.
Just like the port on your TV and on your source device need to be "4k60" the cable does as well.

When buying HDMI cables always look for the two keywords before buying:
18gbps (18 gigabytes per second), and 4k@60 (or just 4k60).
If you want to be extra sure, HDMI has a certification program, and cables that have passed are marketed as "Premium High Speed HDMI Cable". These certified cable will be able to handle everything that HDMI 2.0 could possibly throw at them. More on that, including how to ensure you are buying a genuine cable that was actually certified, here: https://www.hdmi.org/manufacturer/premiumcable/faq.aspx
Even if you are buying a certified cable still make sure it has the two keywords 18gbps and 4k@60.
These certified cables aren't even expensive, for example here is a 6ft monoprice premium certified cable i found with a 30 second Amazon search for $5.
https://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-115428-Certified-Premium-18Gbps/dp/B01GCGKI3O/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1543465057&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=premium+high+speed+hdmi+cable&dpPl=1&dpID=31vnewgtCfL&ref=plSrch

You can skip the rest of this comment if you want, it's just about why you should never buy expensive HDMI cables, bandwidth is only thing that matters.

(And by the way expensive HDMI cables are stupid. Since it's an error corrected digital signal, if you are getting a picture at all it is identical to what the source device sent out, same with audio. Bandwidth (18 gbps!) is the only thing that actually matters when buying HDMI cable, as that will dictate what features you can send down the cable (4k60, HDR, ect.) And if the cable actually gives you a picture and audio at all, rest assured it is bit for bit identical to what the source device sent. (Although there is an EXTREMELY RARE and EXTREMELY OBVIOUS issue, occasionally seen in cheap or damaged cables, that causes many pixels to be pure 255,255,255 white. You'd know if this was happening. If it looks normal, it's bit perfect signal.
And there is no audio version of this, if there is any issue with the audio at all it will not be played and you will hear nothing.
So don't let anyone tell you that more expensive HDMI cables have superior picture or audio, it's not true, the bandwidth is the only thing that will actually affect anything.)

Sorry for any typographical errors, I typed all this on a Razer Phone 2.

You probably need higher bandwidth HDMI cables if you're only getting 60 hz at 1080 p. I use these cables for my setup:

https://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-115428-Certified-Premium-18Gbps/dp/B01GCGKI3O

First off, make sure you're using short, high-speed HDMI cables. These worked for me:

Monoprice 115428 Certified Premium High Speed HDMI Cable, 6ft https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GCGKI3O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_DtCGAbR1PN8T0

Second, the Ibis HDMI switch never worked for me. I ended up using this and it worked.:

Expert Connect 1x4 HDMI Splitter | 4 Port | 1 in - 4 out | Ultra HD 4K/2K @ 60Hz (60 fps), HDR | HDMI 2.0, HDCP 2.2 | Full HD/3D | 1080P | DTS | Dolby Digital | Direct TV | 18 Gbps Bandwidth https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M8KNQMB/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_trCGAb151CPH7

As suggested, I am getting a Monoprice cable as suggested by others:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GCGKI3O/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This is a good option to get DV at a good price. There is also a belkin cable food for DV. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GCGKI3O/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
For best DV results, stuck to 2m/6ft cables.

I wouldn't expect the first 2 HDMI cables to work well since they are not made for the newer HDMI sources. The last cable should technically work since they claim it can pass up to 18 Gbps, but I personally wouldn't trust that claim. If you're up for trying yet another cable, look for one that is a Certified Premium HDMI cable like this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01GCGKI3O . I had similar issues and this cable solved it for me.

You can also try powering up the TV and changing to the Roku input, then rebooting the Roku. I found my Roku didn't like hotswapping HDMI cables without a reboot.

I had the same problem with the almost same TV (the 55' variant). Yeah, it's the HDMI cable and I bought this from Amazon and worked fine.

As they told you, you only need a cable that supports 18Gbps, I've had to be a little more careful because my TV is further and there's no many 5m cheap cables that will do the work.

Sounds correct.

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GCGKI3O/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

That's what I have.

Specifically bought high end Monoprice cables just for 4K playback (these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GCGKI3O) so that cables wouldn't be an issue. When I try to enable HDMI enhanced, it's telling me the TV doesn't support it, even though it should?

The only HDMI cables you'll need are Certified Premium ones, like the one show in OP's pic. But, you can get them for $10 from Monoprice on Amazon. Got two of them, never looked back.

I just bought that same cable (6ft black version) from amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GCGKI3O

I am still having the same balck screen issue.

Is it the cable ?

I always buy this one.

I would buy it straight from monoprice website but their return policy is terrible and I’m pretty sure you have to pay shipping.

or just buy a better cable, for a cheaper price, without needing a promo code...link

I just had to return a few Amazon Basic cables (i have two mirrored outputs on my AVR) because they would not carry the Dolby Vision or HDR signal from my Apple Tv 4K to my TV. They were 10' cables. Replaced with a Monoprice brand (also sold at Amazon) and it worked great. Later found out the Dolby Vision requires the cables be clearly marked PREMIUM CERTIFIED. The Amazon Basic cables are not marked as such where the Monoprice ones are.

EDIT: YMMV, I've also been told that cables without that marking will work with DV over shorter distances, but this was my experience.

Yeah, as odd as it sounds, in 4K modes HDMI cables run at similar frequencies to bluetooth, and without good shielding, the cable can cause interference with the bluetooth remote. Get a cheap premium certified HDMI cable and that should solve your issues. They aren't expensive at all: https://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-115428-Certified-Premium-18Gbps/dp/B01GCGKI3O/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1U9XKXX1J950B&keywords=premium+certified+hdmi+cable&qid=1573158853&sprefix=premium+certified+%2Caps%2C138&sr=8-3

Sorry to spam you, but are these the same as the one you linked? amazon I prefer to order from amazon since I get free next day, but there’s a few low quality reviews up top and just wanted to double check. I know those could just be defective or just idiots using them but I want to make sure before I order them. I have until like 10pm tonight to order and I’lol still get them tomorrow. Gotta love that convenience

Cables? Unless the ones you have specifically say they support 18Gbps, they probably don't.

These?

The sound would go out and screen would black out for a second or 2 then come back on and it would be okay for a few minutes then repeat with the stock PS4 Pro cable. I switched to this cable from monoprice. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GCGKI3O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Haven't had any problems with the screen blacking out or sound issues. Another good cable I've heard people say works great is https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DI8A1NW/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3L31F4KTJOMGN&coliid=I2N5CQDFP3Y2FI&psc=1

It sucks that Sony cheaped out on the cable but I'm just happy it's working correctly now.

Sorry, I guess I missed the HDR support part. You are correct that the HDMI port nees to be 2.2. to allow HDR images to display. Without it, you'd get a blank screen. the 790 does support 4K with HDCP2.2 and HDR. Again, depending on how into AQ you are, soundbars do a decent job but I just don't think it's worth spending $200-300 dollars more. The Sony display is very good. I have the X800D and it looks amazing in my bedroom with both normal and HDR programs (it was last year's model but I saved $300 by buying it. The differences in the new displays weren't that important to me). As long as you connect your soundbar into an HDMI 2.2 port you should be good to go. Also, make sure your HDMI cables are certified high speed (full 18Gbps) and that the enhanced HDR settings are set to auto on you display. You probably know all this already but I read so many comments from people having problems getting HDR to work because they miss these simple points. These are what I'm using: https://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-Certified-Premium-Speed-Cable/dp/B01GCGKI3O/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1499868918&sr=8-2&keywords=amazon+HDMI+certified+high+speed+cables
Hope this helps.

The one I bought is working for now, but I will get monoprice ones in the future. They have 6ft ones on Amazon for $5.37 https://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-115428-Certified-Premium-18Gbps/dp/B01GCGKI3O/

I have 2 slightly longer runs through walls/ceilings for surrounds and the price wasn't too much higher than 16g so I bought one longer spool of 14g instead of 14 gauge and 16 gauge 100 ft spools. Seems to be all you need for passive speakers with some snake oily buzzwords, oxygen free, 14awg copper, higher strand count, rated for in wall use, lab tested, and 200 feet all for $64.

For any normal size room 16g should be just fine.

Subwoofer cable. Get whatever length you think you'll need.

https://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-115428-Certified-Premium-18Gbps/dp/B01GCGKI3O

HDMI cable. Only thing to really part attention to would be certified premium rating. Can buy for 60 cents cheaper directly through monoprice but they're usually out of stock compared to Amazon.

Then a Monoprice cable should be all you need.

What type of video are you trying to send (4K, HDR, 60hz, 4:4:4 wont happen)? Is 'Full UHD Color' enable in Input Settings? Dont know if the Visio HDMI cord is good or not, never used it, but also make sure you have a 'certified' HDMI cord

And to add, if you’re in the market for cables, I would recommend the Monoprice ones.


Monoprice Certified Premium HDMI Cable - 6 Feet - Black, 4K@60Hz, HDR, 18Gbps, 28AWG, YUV 4:4:4, Dual Video Stream https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GCGKI3O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_lLNoDbTCC4RE9

For example. They have some slim ones too.

I just upgraded all my HDMI cables to these yesterday and everything works great.

Order a Monoprice certified premium high speed cable. It’s just over $6 for 6 ft. That’s long enough for most installations. There are better made cables out there but these are more than good enough.

https://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-115428-Certified-Premium-18Gbps/dp/B01GCGKI3O

They’re cheaper if you buy them from Monoprice but end up costing the same or more after tax and shipping especially if you have Amazon Prime. If you have Prime order from Amazon.

Just upgraded to 4K from the previous ATV model and I tried to turn on HDR mode but Apple TV does it’s check and says it’s switching to SDR.

This is from Samsung website for the KU6290:

“Our HDR Premium technology displays HDR (High Dynamic Range) content from new generation Ultra HD Blu-ray, HDR streaming content, and HDR content available on Vidity compliant storage devices. Meets CTA HDR-compatible requirements.”

Can anyone help me debug this? Or has anyone ran into similar issues? I tried switching HDMI ports and I have a Monoprice HDMI cable that supports HDR.

TIA

I had the same problem. Was using my Xbox X hdmi and had occasional static when I woke it up from sleep. I got these and it solved all my problems. Monoprice Certified Premium HDMI Cable - 6 Feet - Black, 4K@60Hz, HDR, 18Gbps, 28AWG, YUV 4:4:4, Dual Video Stream https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GCGKI3O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_h1cuDbE3W8K3S

I know most people are saying any modern HDMI cable will work, but this is not entirely correct.


There was a test done that I’ll have to look up regarding HDMI cables ability to transmit full 4K and HDR content. Only a few of like 20 cables were able to consistently deliver the content correctly, even though all advertised they could.


I’ve had issues trying to get full 4K HDR content to work correctly on both my appletv and Xbox One x. After going through a dozen or so different “high speed” cable brands that all promised 18gbps and HDR compatibility, the only ones I found to consistently work were the Monoprice premium cables. Interestingly, this was also consistent with the previously mentioned results.


My other cables would work intermittently and drop out, leading to some major issues trying to figure out what was wrong. After hours of messing around and them buying a ton of cables, I came to this conclusion.


My suggestion, buy this cable either through amazon or monoprice.com and be done with it:
Monoprice Certified Premium HDMI Cable: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GCGKI3O?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

I was getting pink and green flashes from 4k BD player using an amazon high speed cable on a 2016 KS8500. Switched to a mono price high speed premium cable and have had no more problems.

https://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-115428-Certified-Premium-Speed/dp/B01GCGKI3O

these are 18gbps and are suitable for 4k HDR... if this doesnt fix the problem you should contact Samsung since it may be a board or screen problem.

Get a high speed HDMI and swap it out. You could get a cheap one on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GCGKI3O/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
make sure any HDMI cable you get has that HDMI premium certified cable emblem
