HDMI 2.0 Cable suggestions

Tom_T1993 · Feb 1, 2017

Hi,

I'm looking to buy a new higher quality HDMI 2.0 cable, and generally speaking i just was looking for some advice on what others think on the matter.

This is to bridge between my 4k Tv and my pc.

Firstly is it worth spending quite a bit on one, or will i see very little return?

Secondly anyone got any product recommendations for a decent one.

Thanks in advance.

Amazon basics seem to work well enough. I would only go higher quality if the distance is greater than 2m/6ft.

4k requires a data rate as high as 18gb. A high speed designation doesn't mean the cable actually meets this standard.

Unless you are stretching it over a longer distance than 10 for 4k or 30meters for 1080 meters don't worry it will make zero difference. (Not sure what you would have to do if you are) All HDMI cables will meet the requirements of HDMI I.E. HDMI 2.0 18gbps bandwidth 4k @ 60hz. Linus over on Linus tech tips tested a $1000 HDMI cable against a cheap one from Amazon and there was zero difference literally apart from costing many times more. I would just Ebay one for next to nothing I always buy my cables there for cheap and have had no problems at all. The only slight difference in a more expensive cable may be its physical strength as in harder to physically break it but unless you are planning on using it for tug of war this will not matter either so my recommendation is just to buy the cheapest you can find hope that helps!
