Is there a difference between HDMI cables?
Although there are different HDMI standards, with HDMI 2.0 being the most recent, there are only two HDMI cable standards: Standard and High Speed. Standard is out-of-date now and supports lower resolutions; High Speed supports everything, including the HDMI 2.0 standard, which gives you 4K TV at 60fps (Ultra HD).
Do you need a special HDMI cable for TV?
Do you really need new cables? As we mentioned above, just because you’re getting a new TV doesn’t necessarily mean you need new HDMI cables, even if you’re upgrading to something with 4K and HDR. Over short distances, say under 6 feet, just about any recent “high speed HDMI cable” should work fine.
Do I need an expensive HDMI cable?
Can a very expensive HDMI cable show a better picture and sound quality than a cheaper one? The quick answer is no. An HDMI cable, regardless of the materials used, can either transmit a signal or not – there’s no in-between. An expensive HDMI doesn’t produce richer colors or crisper sound than cheaper versions.
What type of HDMI cable do I have?
If you have an HDMI cable, its either a 1.4, 2.0, or 2.1. You can only assume that it’s 1.4 when you know it’s very old. The only way to figure out if you have a 2.0 rather than a 1.4 HDMI cable is to connect the cable to your TV or PC and alter the display settings.
