FAQs
Does this cable support 4K@120Hz?
Yes, this HDMI 2.1 cable fully supports 4K resolution at 120Hz, provided both your source and display devices are also compatible with this standard.
What is the maximum resolution this cable can handle?
This cable supports resolutions up to 8K at 60Hz without compression, and even higher refresh rates at lower resolutions like 4K@120Hz.
Is this cable backward compatible with older HDMI versions?
Yes, the cable is backward compatible with HDMI 2.0, 1.4, and earlier standards, but it will perform at the maximum speed supported by the oldest connected device.
What does 'lossless data transmission' mean?
It means the data travels from the source to the display without any reduction in quality or compression, preserving the original image and sound information.
Do I need HDMI 2.1 on both my TV and my device to get 8K?
Yes, to achieve the full benefits of HDMI 2.1, such as 8K resolution at 60Hz and 48Gbps bandwidth, both the source device and the display must support the HDMI 2.1 standard.
Can this cable handle Dolby Atmos and DTS:X?
Yes, through its eARC (enhanced Audio Return Channel) capability, this cable supports advanced, high-bitrate audio formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.
How do I clean the gold-plated connectors?
Gently wipe the connectors with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or cleaning solutions, as these can damage the gold plating.
Troubleshooting
No picture or intermittent signal
Ensure the cable is fully inserted into both ports. Verify that both connected devices are HDMI 2.1 compatible and that the correct input is selected on the display. Try a different HDMI port on the display or source device. Test with a shorter or different certified HDMI cable if possible.
Video quality is poor or stuttering
Confirm that the source device and display support the desired resolution and refresh rate. Check if the bandwidth is being exceeded; ensure no other high-bandwidth devices are causing interference. Reduce the resolution or refresh rate on the source device as a test.
No audio or distorted audio
Verify that eARC/ARC is enabled in the settings of both the source and display devices. Ensure the audio format being sent is supported by both devices and the cable. Try a different audio output setting on the source device.
