FAQs
What does 'Certified ULTRA HIGH SPEED HDMI Cable' mean?
It means the cable has passed rigorous testing by an HDMI Forum Authorized Testing Center to guarantee it meets the demanding specifications required for HDMI 2.1 features, including 48Gbps bandwidth, 8K/60Hz, and 4K/120Hz.
Do I need an HDMI 2.1 cable for my PS5 or Xbox Series X?
While these consoles can work with older HDMI cables, an HDMI 2.1 cable is required to unlock their full potential, such as 4K resolution at 120Hz refresh rates and features like VRR and ALLM.
Can I use this cable with my 1080p TV?
Yes, this cable is backwardly compatible and will work perfectly with 1080p displays. However, you will not experience the benefits of 8K or 4K/120Hz as your TV does not support them.
What is eARC and why is it important?
eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) is an advanced version of ARC that supports higher bandwidth audio formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, allowing for uncompressed, high-quality surround sound to be sent from your TV to your soundbar or AV receiver.
How do I know if my devices support HDMI 2.1?
Check the specifications or product manual for your TV, monitor, soundbar, or gaming console. Look for terms like 'HDMI 2.1 support,' '4K@120Hz,' '8K@60Hz,' 'VRR,' 'ALLM,' or 'eARC'.
What is the maximum resolution this cable supports?
This cable is certified for HDMI 2.1, supporting resolutions up to 8K at 60Hz and 4K at 120Hz. It can also support resolutions beyond 8K, up to 10K, depending on the capabilities of the connected devices and signal transmission.
Troubleshooting
No picture or intermittent signal
Ensure the cable is securely plugged into both devices. Try a different HDMI port on your display. Confirm that both devices support the resolution and refresh rate being used. Test with a shorter or different certified HDMI cable to rule out cable damage.
Video stutters or screen tearing
Verify that both the source and display support VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) and that it is enabled in the settings. Ensure the cable is fully seated. If possible, try a lower refresh rate or resolution to see if the issue persists.
No audio or distorted audio
Check that eARC/ARC is enabled in the settings of both your TV and soundbar/receiver. Ensure the correct HDMI ports are used. Confirm that the audio format being sent is supported by your devices.
Device not recognized or showing incorrect capabilities
Restart both connected devices. Ensure your devices have the latest firmware updates installed. Check the device's manual to confirm compatibility with HDMI 2.1 features.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Supports cutting-edge resolutions and refresh rates for future-proofed setups.
- Enables advanced gaming features like VRR and ALLM for a superior gaming experience.
- Certified for Ultra High Speed HDMI, ensuring reliable performance.
- Features eARC for high-quality, uncompressed audio transmission.
- Robust build quality designed for durability.
Cons
- Full benefits require compatible HDMI 2.1 source and display devices.
- Higher cost compared to older HDMI cable standards.
- 8K content is still relatively scarce, limiting immediate widespread use of maximum resolution.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure both your source device (e.g., Blu-ray player, gaming console, PC) and your display device (e.g., TV, monitor, projector) support the desired resolution and features (like 8K/60Hz, 4K/120Hz, HDR, eARC).
- Connect one end of the HDMI cable to the output port of your source device and the other end to the input port of your display device.
- If using eARC, ensure the ports labeled 'eARC' or 'ARC' are used on both your TV and soundbar/receiver.
- Power on your devices. Your display should automatically detect the incoming signal.
Compatibility:
This cable is backwardly compatible with all previous HDMI specifications (1.4, 2.0, etc.). It will work with devices that have standard HDMI ports, but features like 8K resolution, 120Hz refresh rates, and advanced HDMI 2.1 functions will only be available when both connected devices fully support the HDMI 2.1 standard.
Care:
- Avoid excessive bending or kinking the cable, which can damage the internal wiring.
- Keep connectors clean. If dust accumulates, use a dry, soft brush or compressed air.
- Store the cable in a cool, dry place when not in use.
- Do not expose the cable to extreme temperatures or moisture.
