Are expensive HDMI cables better?
No. HDMI is digital, so a cheap High Speed cable gives exactly the same picture and sound as an expensive one at normal lengths. A cable either works or shows obvious dropouts.

Worth knowing
- What matters is the type: High Speed for 4K at 60Hz, Ultra High Speed for 4K at 120Hz.
- Gold plating and braiding don't change the picture.
