    10.2gbps seems low. You need 48gbps if you want to run 4k 120hz.

  • Any deals on 8k cables?

    Given the data transfer rate of 10.2 Gbps this cable is only HDMI 1.4, which is quite old and I'd avoid it if you have a newer TV. It can only do 4K at 30fps.

    HDMI 2.0 can do 4k at 60fps, 18Gbps and HDR. HDMI 2.1 can do 4k at 120fps or 8k at 30fps and dynamic HDR…. if you can find a monitor that supports it and has a high enough frequency. It also does 48Gbps and support eARC, which is useful if you have a good audio system and want Dolby Atmos support.

    As a minimum I'd look for HDMI 2.0 cables, which can be had for similar price or often cheaper on any day at Amazon. If you want to future proof yourself get HDMI 2.1 cablesn the price difference really isn't that significant.

      HDMI 2.0 is backwards compatible with 1.4 - there is no physical difference to the cable. Any old HDMI 1.4 cable should do HDMI 2.0 / 4k60 fine.

      HDMI 2.1 does have a different cable though, but very few devices support it at the moment.

      • Millions of PS5 and Xbox Series 5 have been sold already !!

      • HDMI 1.4 cannot do 4k 60hz

          The HDMI 1.4 specification can't - which is what either your monitor/TV hardware has, or your graphics card outputs. There is no physical difference between the cables.

          • @NuclearWessels: Less than 18Gbps is non-compliant though, that’s why cables capable of such are sold labelled as “HDMI 2.0” even though it’s not technically part of the standard.

          • +2

            @NuclearWessels: There are different certifications for cables though.

            HDMI 1.4
            Standard - up to 1080i
            High Speed - up to 4K 30Hz

            HDMI 2.0
            Premium High Speed - up to 4K 60Hz HDR

            HDMI 2.1
            Ultra Premium High Speed - 4K 120hz etc

            So the "premium" labels aren't just marketing speak but means they've been certified by HDMI.org to be compatible with HDMI 2.0 or 2.1.

            This cable should be fine for 4K60hz as High Speed cables are supposed to be compatible with HDMI 2.0 and 1.4 but if you want added peace of mind you can look for a certified "Premium High Speed" cable.

    5m HDMI must be thick, like finger thick. If no AWG is mentioned, steer clear.

    • What is AWG?

      • American Wire Gauge

        • So is this an indication of the quality of the cable if it has a certified wire thickness? I see many on Amazon do not mention AWG at all, but some do.
