Though I believe in your view as well, the fact remains that some HDMI cables are unable to carry the required bandwith for 4k HDR.

I own a Venom HDMI cable and it is great for 1080p but would not work for 4K HDR.

I also own some older higher end Audioquest HDMI cables and though they are not premium certified, they do work.

So as I stated before, buying HDMI cables are a crap shoot these days.
