Expensive HDMI cables are basically a scam
HDMI cables are all over the market today, and they come in at many different prices. In most cases, I would just recommend using the cable that came with your device, but that’s not always possible if you shop used or have simply lost track of what cable goes where. I have so many things plugged in, and I’ve moved so many times, so I know that I have jumbled up my cables at some point. I’ve also been slowly trying to upgrade all my cables to HDMI 2.1 just so I don’t have to be concerned about what I’m using not getting enough juice to my device.
