FAQ

What Is an HDMI Cable and Why Is It Important for My Setup?

An HDMI cable is a universal standard for transferring high-definition video and audio between devices. Whether you're connecting a gaming console, Blu-ray player, computer, or TV, an HDMI cable ensures you get the best quality visuals and sound without the need for multiple cables.

Can HDMI Cables Carry Audio Signals as Well as Video?

How Long Can an HDMI Cable Be Before Losing Signal Quality?

Signal degradation can occur with very long HDMI cables. Generally, cables up to 15 meters (about 50 feet) can transmit high-quality signals without the need for a signal booster. For longer runs, consider using an HDMI repeater or an active cable to maintain signal integrity.

How Do I Choose the Right HDMI Cable for My Device?

Selecting the right HDMI cable depends on your device's requirements and the desired resolution. For 4K and HDR content, ensure the cable is HDMI 2.0 or higher.

HDMI 2.0 cables can support up to 4K resolution at 60Hz, while HDMI 2.1 cables support up to 4K at 120Hz or 8K at 60Hz, providing smoother and more immersive visuals for gaming and high-definition video content.

Can I Use Any HDMI Cable for 3D Content?

To enjoy 3D content, you need an HDMI cable that is at least HDMI 1.4, as this version introduced support for 3D transmissions. Ensure your devices are also 3D compatible and that the cable you choose can handle the necessary bandwidth for your 3D viewing experience.
