Pros & Cons
Pros
The mono price cable beats the blue jeans cable on sharpness and realistic colors. The mp 2. Cable looks and feels premium. Durable and good looking.
Cable feels sturdy. Maybe a little rigid but maintains its shape after bending it to fit in a tight space. Build quality is sturdy and it came well packaged.
Foot braided external cover with sturdy connectors. Plugs fit into hdmi ports in a smooth/crisp yet snug manner. Gold plated connectors fit snug on both ends.
Cons
The build quality of the cable itself feels quite nice, but it's capabilities don't come near to whats advertised. Not terrible, but no where near what is advertised. One works fine the other produces dropouts or plain no connection errors.
This cable is junk and cannot achieve even 40gbps for 4k120, let alone the advertised 48gbps. It works fine at 1080p 60fps, but at 4k 120hz there are frequent drops in connection causing the screen to go black for seconds at a time every minute or two... Read More
Highlights
Quality
They are very well constructed and perform at the advertised benchmarks
High quality cables that work as intended

Price
Anyway at 26 dollars for a 15 foot cable of this quality i am impressed
5 stars because this is a great cable for the price
Ive been burned on some in the past and i refuse to pay 150 at a brick and mortar store
Thank you monoprice for a reasonable price on a certified hdmi 2
Shipping
I decided to just order a new one from amazon and it came overnight
Packaging/appearance
Build quality is sturdy and it came well packaged
The cheap plastic packaging it came with didnt say it either
The only concern i have is the packaging they ship it in a plastic wrap instead of a structure box which can easily get damaged... Read More
Also one of mine had a rip in the soft cloth sheathing and it was unraveling in the package so i had to use tape to stop it fro... Read More
Competitiveness
I buy all of my cables almost exclusively from monoprice when i can now a days
Better than any other cable i’ve bought
I have had no success with monoprice hdr10 or dolby digital
It also struggles with hdr10 which is being more commonly used in movies streamed through netflix hulu
