When connected to your fancy 4K TV, the chord promises to up-convert HD content from your cable box or Blu-ray player to Technicolor-certified 4K Ultra HD.
I think I would rather use an AVR that up-converts- at least the conversion could be turned off and if a firmware update is needed, it's not a matter of replacing an expensive cable. Until Monoprice starts making them, when they'll be $14.95.

Should we trust a reviewer of audio/video as regards resolution when that reviewer a) doesn't seem to know that it's cord, not chord, and b) if he does know, can't see the difference between five letters and four... which is a pretty serious resolution error!
Should we trust a reviewer who does not speak in technical terms but calls the display fancy because of its increased resolution? Fancy smacks not of excellent specs, but of a fad. Fancy would be gold filigree around the bezel!
Lastly, it's nice to know the "chord" promises, because there's never been a performance promise in audio/video that did not come wholly true. And immediately upon its announcement, without even a two week delay.

Depends- if the span of the cable is between two points on a circle, 'chord' would be correct.

Keep this up and I'm going to need to drink a major fifth!

Lowhz, I guess I was paraphrasing music theory, not quoting it.
I regret not having learned any but bits and pieces of music theory. Like... I never had heard of the circle of fifths in high school but I worked out a means by which to name all the (major) keys by looking at the sharps and flats. With keys that have sharps, the name is a half step above the rightmost sharp. With keys that have flats, the name is the next to rightmost flat. And you can add more description consistent with that to cover F and C, which don't fall clearly into that pattern.
But no, nothing formal.

It means the same thing, but the way I was taught, my teacher simplified it- To find the key, raise the last sharp 1/2 step or use the 2nd last flat.
F is easy- Bb only. C has no sharps or flats.
He used to read from flute and violin etude books for his sight-reading practice. Guy could read like a M-Fer, but when he improvised, it sounded too "technical' until he took an ear training course which, I have to assume, was prompted by my playing things that didn't sound like total crap, even though I knew a fraction of the theory.

Or you could just remember that 4 sharps is E major, maybe C# minor, 3 flats is Eb maj...
Yes there are formulas but it's pretty easy to just look at a key sig and know what key it is.
highfigh wrote It means the same thing, but the way I was taught, my teacher simplified it- To find the key, raise the last sharp 1/2 step or use the 2nd last flat.
After I wrote With keys that have sharps, the name is a half step above the rightmost sharp. With keys that have flats, the name is the next to rightmost flat.
Why did he write that? How is that at all different except that I pointed out whether the keys had sharps or flats and he assumed it?
Lowhz, having that tool by which I could rapidly figure out the name of the key -- quick, what key has six flats? -- allows me to not have to clutter my mind with the list of all those keys. The ones I have learned to recognize, I have learned to recognize by figuring them out over and over and over. G, D, A, E, B, C#; F, Bb, Eb, Ab, Db... those I now know by sight because of just using my method. Yeah, yeah, and of course the minor keys.

I understand all the mnemonic devices were created to make music "easier to read" but how long do you need to rely on Every Good Boy Does Fine?
6 flats is Gb major. Arrange enough big band charts and key signatures and on the fly transposition come very quickly.
I saw part of NCIS last night and David Carradine was a washed-up singer who'd left the stage for quite a while. His manager arranged a gig and when it was time to hit the stage, he had stage fright. One of the agents said "Go on! How hard can it be? It only has three chords!" and he became a bit indignant because "It has four!".
