How long for an HDMI cable to break in.

If it makes you feel any better, you aren’t the first to be taken in, and you won’t be the last 

I am going from a wireless projector (Epson 5040UBe) to a 77" OLED (LG) and none of my sources (cable box, streaming, Oppo-95, HDMI switcher) exceed 4K at this point, so I used 8K cable to "future-proof" the system because this runs through the baseboard and is a PITA to change.  But at 4K, I shouldn’t have any problems even at 35 feet.

And because the cable runs through the walls and along the baseboard, I thought it was important to get one that was made for this allowing for greater flexibility.

This is what I got and is only a bit more than 4K cable.  Does one really need to spend hundreds of dollars on a cable that carries a digital signal of 1’s and 0’s just so long as they get there intact?

@kevemaher electricity moves at the speed of light, if it quacks like a duck and looks like a duck it must be a duck. Every generation of people like to seem smarter than the last when it’s totally opposite.

Oh, my.

Go outside and soak up the photons from the sun. 

You'll then have plenty of photons to pay that bill with!
