Let me start by saying this little adapter has been a lifesaver for my vertical PS5 setup. The 90-degree angle design means I can finally tuck my console close to the wall without worrying about cable strain or blocking the Ethernet port. It's like this cable was made specifically for the PS5 Slim!
The build quality feels solid - definitely what I'd call 'heavy duty' as one reviewer mentioned. The short length (about 6 inches) is perfect when you just need that little bit of extension without adding cable clutter. I've been using it daily for three weeks now with zero connection issues.
Now about those impressive specs: while I don't have an 8K TV (who does yet?), I can confirm it handles 4K@120Hz flawlessly on my LG OLED when gaming on the PS5. Ratchet & Clank looks buttery smooth with VRR enabled. The HDR colors pop exactly as they should - no noticeable degradation from using this extender.
However, I should note that one user reported flickering issues at very high refresh rates (240Hz). This hasn't been my experience, but it's worth considering if you're pushing extreme bandwidth demands. For most people running 4K@120Hz or even 8K@60Hz though, this performs exactly as advertised.
The only minor complaint? The right-angle design only bends downward ('Down' version). Would be nice if they offered upward or flexible angle options too for different setups.
Bottom line: If you need a short, reliable HDMI extension that won't bottleneck your next-gen devices, this is a fantastic choice - especially for PS5 owners dealing with tight spaces. Just make sure all your connected devices actually support HDMI 2.1 features to take full advantage!
