7M/25ft HDMI 4K UHD cable

[joeschmoe]

I just got a new LG 4K UHD TV and need to replace my old cheap 1080p HDMI cable with a good quality cable. It will need to be 7M or 25ft either would work.
I'm reading for cables over 20 feet the preferred cable needs to be "active" instead of passive. I read on BJC site that they recommend active, is BJC a good cable to use or is there are better cable? BJC web site says they use a Chinese cable made to their specs which is active...I can get it for $43 or go with an Audioquest and the cheapest would be $169 which is passive...
Not sure which way to go as both have good reviews.

Couple of questions:

1. Do I need an active cable?

2. What is a good or great cable for video/audio at this length?

Redmere from monoprice has always worked for me on long runs. Its chipped so its directional when installing.

Welcome to AH.

Do not buy Audioquest. Overpriced.
I use that Redmere although shorter and not 4k. Works great.
Bjc is also a very fine company and am sure they do test those Chinese cables to make sure it is to specs.
