HDMI cables
The difference between the types of HDMI cables
The difference between an HDMI 2.0b and an HDMI 2.1 cable is the supported resolution and refresh rate. HDMI 2.0b supports 4K resolution with a 50Hz refresh rate, so images aren't always displayed as fluently. An HDMI 2.1 cable supports 8K resolution at 50Hz, so you can watch images in high quality. It also supports 2.1 eARC, which allows you to transmit audio signals from sources like Dolby Atmos without loss of quality.
Which cable length do you need?
When you choose an HDMI cable, it's important to keep the length in mind. You don't want the cable to be too short when you plug it in. In addition, you're more likely to notice signal loss with long cables than with short cables.
