The most important thing about 4K and Ultra HD is understanding the differences. The most important feature on this cable is the new HDMI 2.0 standard. I'm not going to explain the differences in detail between this version of HDMI and the old version but there are important things you should know. First of all, if you don't have a 4K or Ultra HD TV you probably don't need this cable. If you do own a new higher resolution TV then this cable is going to bring you higher frame rates, more colors, and better sound quality. With the old HDMI standard (1.4) your limited to 24 frames per second for 4K and Ultra HD, 16.7 million colors versus 68.7 billion, and 8 channels of audio versus 32 channels. This sounds impressive, and it is, but for a casual TV watcher these changes will be subtle, especially if you don't have a larger TV. Not to mention, as of right now, the content for this level of quality is very limited. BUT, if these things are important to you, and you have, or are getting, the equipment to match definitely take a look at this cable. (Note that the things I have listed here is not an exhaustive list of features implemented by HDMI 2.0. I recommend doing research on your own and figuring out whats best for you.)
As far as the cable itself goes, I like the fact that the cord itself is not plain PVC like other cheaper cables are, but rather protected with some nylon mesh netting. This will work perfectly with any HDMI setup and I currently use mine to project my laptop to my TV. Someday when I get the money to upgrade my TV, this cable is going to maximize my picture quality for sure. For a high end home entertainment setup, this is a must have!
