Ever thought about how much thought we give to cables when setting up our home cinema? Yeah, me neither. I mean, as long as they support our fancy tech, who cares, right? Wrong! I’m here to tell you how some affordable HDMI cables turned my home cinema from ‘good’ to ‘wow’!
I’ve got a pretty sweet setup – an 83-inch LG G5 OLED TV and a full Sonos speaker package. We’re talking Arc Ultra, Era 300s for surrounds, Sub 3, and even some Era 100s. But here’s the thing, no matter how great your tech is, ugly cables can ruin the vibe. I’m talking about those sneaky HDMI cables hanging down behind the screen, snaking their way into the TV bench. They were killing my floating TV illusion!
Enter: the humble HDMI cable. I picked up a couple of 3-meter Ugreen HDMI 2.1 cables during a Prime Day sale for just AU$22 each. They arrived, I got to work, and let me tell you, LG’s cable management system is a game changer! With the extra length, I was able to run the cables through the TV stand, up through cut outs, along the rear panel, and into the HDMI ports. Voila! No more dangling cables, just a sleek, floating TV.
And the best part? This simple upgrade cost me less than $24 / £28 / AU$44. So, if you’re looking to take your home cinema to the next level, don’t overlook the power of a good cable. Your space (and your eyes) will thank you!
