FAQs

Does this cable support HDR?

Yes, this HDMI 2.1 cable supports HDR, including Dolby Vision, for enhanced contrast and color.

What is the maximum resolution and refresh rate supported?

This cable supports up to 8K resolution at 60Hz and 4K resolution at 120Hz.

Is this cable backward compatible?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible with older HDMI standards, but advanced features like 8K, 120Hz, eARC, and VRR will only work if all connected devices support them.

What does eARC mean?

eARC stands for enhanced Audio Return Channel. It allows for higher bandwidth, uncompressed audio formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X to be sent from the TV back to a soundbar or AV receiver.

Why would a gamer need VRR?

VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) synchronizes the display's refresh rate with the game's frame rate, reducing screen tearing and stuttering for a smoother, more responsive gaming experience.

How do I ensure I'm getting the best performance?

To achieve the best performance, ensure all your connected devices (source, display, and any receiver) are HDMI 2.1 compatible and that the cable is securely plugged in. Check device settings for resolution, refresh rate, and feature enablement (like VRR or eARC).

Can I use this cable for 4K 120Hz gaming?

Yes, if your gaming console (like PS5 or Xbox Series X) and your TV both support 4K resolution at 120Hz and HDMI 2.1, this cable will enable that performance.

Troubleshooting

No picture or intermittent signal

Ensure the cable is firmly connected at both ends. Try a different HDMI port on your display or source device. Confirm that both your source and display devices support the resolution/refresh rate you are trying to use. Test with another HDMI cable if possible.

Audio issues (no sound, distorted sound)

Verify eARC or ARC is enabled on both your TV and sound system/AV receiver. Check audio settings on your source device and ensure the correct audio output is selected. Confirm the cable is securely connected.

Gaming lag or screen tearing

Ensure Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) is enabled on your gaming console and TV. Confirm your devices support HDMI 2.1 and VRR. Check game settings for any performance/quality mode options.

Video resolution or refresh rate limitations

Verify that your source device, the HDMI cable, and your display device all support the desired resolution and refresh rate (e.g., 4K @ 120Hz or 8K @ 60Hz). Check device settings menus for available options.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports latest HDMI 2.1 features for future-proof connectivity.
  • High resolutions and refresh rates (8K/60Hz, 4K/120Hz) for superior visuals.
  • Enhanced audio (eARC) and video (Dolby Vision) technologies for immersive experiences.
  • Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) greatly benefits gamers by reducing motion artifacts.
  • Durable braided cable construction enhances longevity and reduces tangling.

Cons

  • Requires HDMI 2.1 compatible source and display devices to utilize full capabilities.
  • 2-meter length might be too short for some large room setups.
  • Higher bandwidth may be overkill for users with older displays or standard HD content.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Connect one end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI output port on your source device (e.g., gaming console, Blu-ray player, streaming stick) and the other end to an HDMI input port on your display device (e.g., TV, monitor, projector). Ensure the cable is securely plugged into both ports.

Compatibility: This cable supports the HDMI 2.1 standard. For maximum benefit, ensure your source devices, display, and any intermediary devices (like AV receivers) also support HDMI 2.1. While backward compatible with older HDMI versions, features like 8K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, eARC, and VRR will only function if all connected devices support them.

Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:

  • Avoid sharply bending or kinking the cable.
  • Keep connectors clean; use a dry, lint-free cloth if necessary.
  • Store the cable away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
