Not sure about the infrastructure you're dealing with but I'm using this from my Denon AVR out to my roku 6 series arc input. 40 ft and no issues for two years. Does 4k/4:4:4/18gbps/HDR10/Dolby vision/etc. It goes from rack in garage through walls/attic down to tv, and isn't even in conduit. I would try that or a high rated hdmi balun and return what doesn't suit your needs.

Here's the reality: A quality cable doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg. But, there are a LOT of issues that can arrise when a cable isn't actually up to the quality that it claims.

HDMI 2.0 is specified to use up to 18Gb/s of data transfer. That allows for 4K/60/HDR content to be sent to a display. That's a LOT faster than the 3.3Gb/s which 1080p runs at. Over five times as much data.

Monoprice has good cables and so-so cables. This is the problem. Read their reviews, especially the negative reviews, and understand that no single cable is actually perfect. Some fail. Your WILL fail at some point. So, be prepared to replace it at some point.

Does the Monoprice cable list a rating of 18Gb/s? If so, and the price is right, then by all means, get it. If it doesn't work, then you can return it and they will send you another one.

My personal opinion? When I get to 25 feet or more, I use RUIPRO cables.

Why? Because I have used them multiple times, and they have worked well. Their price is VERY good compared to some of the ridiculous store brand cables which can cost $80 for a 5 foot cable.

As you spend less money, there certainly is a chance that you end up with less reliability, but with really well reviewed models, that chance is less and less. I'm personally a HUGE fan of the super-slim HDMI cables from Monoprice which are rated for 4K/18Gb/s content. They work really well and are really lightweight so they don't pull equipment around.
