AQ Chocolate HDMI Cables Good for 4k?

mufsoman

Hey all, finally getting around to setting up a theater area in our current house. I still have my AQ Chocolate HDMI cables that are 8-10 yrs old.

Are these good for today's 4k high speed use?

They were game changers in my previous 1080p setup. If not good for 4k, then what are they still good for in todays world?

Thanks!

I believe they are HDMI 2.0 certified so I’d say yes.

I plan to keep using my Cinnamon cables when I upgrade to a 4K tv, unless I find a way to upgrade to carbons lol

Audioqest made a few new HDMI cables in the Chocolate range over the years. I assume you have the original Chocolate cables? If they don't say 4k or 4k/8k on the head , they maybe 10-18g cables.

I suggest before you buy any new ones , test them on your system and see if they limit your max resolution. If they do then you need to get new cables, if not your good to go.

Thanks Mantis! I grabbed a couple Monoprice certified ultra high high speed cables to test, but still having some sound issues as described in my other recent post. Don't think it has anything to do with the hdmi cables though. I've left my Chocolates in the living room sound bar setup. They seem to be working fine there. I'll swap sometime later for a test in the big setup though.
