I got the geo.h hdmi 2.1 hybrid fibre optic cable from Amazon. Seems to work well, fast, consistent, no issues here.

But I cannot tell if it it improved latency from the normal copper hdmi 2.1 certified cable i was using prior. I don't really feel a difference?

Next I am going to order and try the dp 2.1 fibre optic hybrid cable.

To add onto this topic, here's a pure-optical fiber cable review & a hybrid-optical fiber cable analysis, take a look at these videos:

Why can I see the image directly in the video link you quoted? How can I send the video correctly on this website?

Ok so i have been using the fibre optic hdmi 2.1 cable and fibre optic dp 2.1 cable (same brand) for a few days now, comparing the two on my zowie 600hz tn monitor. This zowie monitor has a hdmi 2.1 port, and only dp 1.4 port. I think it uses dsc on both ports for 1080p 600hz. Anyways below is my comparison:

- Both cables feel very snappy and fast in terms of input lag. But i feel the dp 2.1 cable has a very slightly faster feeling and more consistency with the input response. The hdmi 2.1 cable, is very close, but for some reason I think the dp 2.1 cable just edges out.
- I think the hdmi 2.1 cable makes the image on screen look slightly better, for some reason it seems slightly sharper than the dp 1.4 cable.

Overall, I am keeping the dp 1.4 version, because I want the most competitive edge, I don't care about image quality. Now my above findings, could purely be placebo, but I am very very sensitive to response, and lag. I can feel every inch of it. So this is how I feel about these 2 cables.

I went back to a standard hdmi 2.1 cable.

Yes, all adjustments will have a positive effect, but it won't last for a few days and eventually the delay will come back.

Yes,

For some reason the dp 1.4 kept giving me stutters.
So i changed to hdmi 2.1 and no more stutters.
