Short answer: HDMI cable quality matters more as resolution, refresh rate and cable length rise. The Amaze A85 is listed for HDMI 2.0, up to 18Gbps, 4K at 60Hz, HDR and ARC. It is a sensible match for HDMI 2.0 setups when every device in the chain supports the same format.
A cable cannot add 4K or HDR to a source or display that lacks it. Its job is to carry the agreed signal reliably.
What the A85 is designed to carry
The listing states HDMI 2.0, 18Gbps, 4K at 60Hz, HDR, 3D and Audio Return Channel support. Its braided exterior, aluminium-alloy connectors and pure-copper conductors are intended to support durability and stable transmission.
The weakest link decides the result
Your source output, HDMI port version, cable, display input and settings must all agree. If one component supports less, the connection falls back to that lower capability. A new cable alone will not fix an unsupported display mode.
Why length changes the choice
The listing offers 1m to 10m variants. Select the shortest length that reaches comfortably without tension. Longer passive runs are more demanding at high bandwidth; avoid sharp bends and crushed furniture edges.
Five troubleshooting steps
- Select the correct HDMI input.
- Check source resolution and refresh rate.
- Try another HDMI port.
- Reconnect both ends and restart the source.
- Test a shorter run or lower format to isolate bandwidth.
