No, as per my current TV, I didn't absolutely need this cable quality. However, I replaced my AVR and redid my cabling among cable box, blu-ray, AVR, Roku, and TV with HDMI entirely. Wanted to be sure that if something didn't seem like I expected, there would be no reason for me to suspect the quality/speed capability of the cables. My son has the adage, "don't buy old technology." So, if I'm going to buy HDMI cables, why wouldn't I future proof the installation as much as possible? I wanted to be sure the originating video & audio devices were delivering the best it could. Many newer devices "hit" the cable and ID the best delivery speed capability. I wanted no doubt all devices would see the best cable possible.

These are awesome cables at a great price!

Order for a customer, who install cable, they said it works perfect,
thanks for a working product.
Great work from Mono Price for good service.

Work great no issues

Great cables, highly recommend.

Flexible, nice connectors.

Nice customer service experience for the pre-ordering process; but, the cable didn't work, and there was no follow-up from the company.

Excellent price

Not to impressed , still getting HDCP error messages between my Roku and my SONY 4K TV when going back and forth from 60fps to 24 fps. Thought the cable would fix that as the literature stated Supports Variable Refresh Rate (VRR)
