It's with a slightly sly smile I ask...
If your existing room had a 15 meter (~50ft) HDMI cable connecting a 1080p panel and equivalent receiver and everything worked without issue, when you chose to upgrade both the panel and receiver (even if they are later 4k models but same manufacturers) to allow for 4k, would you:
1) Choose to obtain new "certified for 4k" and "2.0" cabling?
In 2009 I invested in AudioQuest HDMI X in wall (unsure if this is what it was but that is what is on the end connector shielding (HDMI X aq). Since that time I have read alot about this being more about piece of mind and perception of quality versus engineering or technical limits. So I am unsure about what is hype and profit margins, and what is needed for functional quality and economics.
2) If so, is there recommendations on cabling vendors? Long HDMI cabling for use with 4K seems to be fairly rare. All my reseller has is https://secure.libertycable.com/product_details.php?pitem=DL-HDM-M-015M#orderOptions versus the well known brands pushed by big box retailers.
3) Would you choose to retain a couple RJ45 runs for Ethernet and Serial/Control usage, but remove component and other audio oriented cabling out of the solution?
Thanks
