Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this to replace another 30 foot cable that I had been using for a few years on an original xbox one. I dont know if this one or the old cable were rated for in wall use ot not but I used both that way anyway and had no issues. I ran it in a wall and across my attic and back down a wall to get to a TV mounted over the fireplace. The old cable worked fine for years and I still have a couple others just like it that are in use for 1080p sources. But when i upgraded to 4k for an xbox one x and 4k TV the cable dropped signal immediately and would only flash an image at best before dying. I bought a signal booster and put it on the end of the old cable and voila it worked! Well sort of. I would have to occasionally plug and unplug the power to the booster and it would usually work after one or two tries then it was fine until everything was shut down again and we repeated the process. About 6 months later, I began having increasingly frequent video and audio total dropouts using my old setup, including ones where it would come back fine on it's own after a few seconds, sometimes needed multiple manual resets at the booster like I had done before, and even times where it would display all kinds of funny colors but not a proper image. So I began my search again for a better cable. I had searched before and settled on the booster because it was easier than the total rerun through the wall. This time i actually ordered a monoprice active cabernet series cable before reading this reviews because it was supposed to be the best. Then i read some more reviews and people with similar setups to mine were reporting less than stellar results. Cancelled order and set out to search agian. That's when I found this cable. The reviews were all positive but none specifically named an xbox one let alone an xbox one x. I did find one review here that said it worked great for a ps4 pro. I had reservations because all of my research had led me to believe that an active cable would be more than likely a necessity. This cable IS NOT an active cable. I took the plunge anyhow because of all the positive reviews. I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER. I initially ran it 5hrough the wall and used my signal booster on it just as I had before with my old cable and all worked well, but I did notice some temporary delays when I would switch apps or when a particularly dark loading screen would come on I would lose signal before it returned on it's own. So just for testing purposes, I removed the booster. REMOVING THE BOOSTER SOLVED IT. The booster worked well but it would think that the signal was lost because it struggled with dark screens and therefore it would not allow the signal to pass through to the TV. I want to emphasize that this is a very different problem than I had with the old cable. The old cable would not display properly at all without the booster. The new cable worked okay with the booster but once I removed the booster, the cable has functioned exactly as intended for a couple weeks without a single dropout. I had gotten so used to fighting with my setup when I turned it on that it was almost stressful everytime I had to hope and pray it would work. Now it feels strange to just have everything work as it is supposed to with no fight at all. Bottom line, this cable delivers on all of its promises,, appears well built with good materials, and will run a full 4k signal from a xbox one x, through 30 feet of cable, to a 4k TV with no trouble. There will be no greater stress test for this particular cable. You should buy it.
