About this deal

For sheer variety of length, Ibra’s range of 8K HDMI cables can’t be beaten. You’ll find every metre between 1m and 10m is covered here – although, from 4m onwards, the connection lowers to just 4K. But interestingly, prices hardly jump at all with each size. For anyone who’s fastidious about their home setup, these cables should do just fine. It also boasts notable specs such as 4K support, 48-bit deep color, and improved shielding to ensure a stable connection. Microsoft steps up its Windows 11 file management game - get ready to say goodbye to WinRAR and &-Zip If you’ve got a long connection to set up – running from one floor of the house to another, perhaps – then you’ll want to invest in an extra-long HDMI cable. KabelDirect’s 20m HDMI cable is an excellent example and offers a 2.0 connection. Best of all, it comes with a 36-month warranty.

HDMI 2.1 promises to usher in a new wave of 8K TVs along with much higher bandwidth, better audio and faster gameplay. Here's everything you need to know. So don't rush out and buy Ultra High Speed cables unless you're sure you need them. But if you need new cables anyway, get Ultra High Speed as they'll offer a bit more future-proofing than other cables.Even though the cable looks the same, modern HDMI connections are vastly more capable than when they first arrived over 20 years ago. The latest version, called 2.1b, is only a small update, but 2.1 in general is a big deal with lots of performance improvements and new features. The standard is found in the best new TVs, including recent models from LG, Samsung, Sony, TCL, Vizio and more. HDMI 2.1 is also on both of the next-generation game consoles, the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. In fact, to get the most out of those Now, it's important to note that even if your TV doesn't support an HDMI 2.1 connection, you can still plug the console into a standard HDMI port in a TV or monitor – just with more more picture limitations. Keep in mind there's no such thing as HDMI cable "versions." As in, there's no such thing as an "HDMI 2.0" cable. The version numbers refer to the physical connections in your TV, receiver or sound bar. So your TV and 4K Blu-ray player need to both have HDMI 2.0 to watch HDR content, but the cable connecting them couldn't care less. It's just a dumb pipe.

Yet another improvement for gamers, ALLM lets a TV or other display know when the signal is coming from a game console or PC. When that happens, the display can automatically turn off any picture processing that could introduce latency or lag. You’ll never have to select Game Mode on your TV again. No more lip-sync issues A good example to use here is the difference between Monster Hunter: World on Xbox One and Xbox Series X. In this example, performance has nothing to do with the HDMI cable but instead your TV's refresh rate. With that in mind, we have some recommendations for inexpensive options that should work with any TV and source combination you have... as long as they connect with HDMI. At first blush, HDMI 2.1 doesn't look all that different; in fact, some HDMI 2.0 TV and displays can masquerade as HDMI 2.1 devices. But when you consider its huge boost in bandwidth, support for up to 10K content and benefits for gamers — not to mention a new enhanced audio return channel — the standard should deliver a much more appealing experience.With HDMI 2.0’s Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC), we can now get uncompressed, full-resolution audio over HDMI 2.1 connections. Dolby Atmos is a perfect example. With ARC, Atmos only works when using Dolby Digital Plus, a compressed audio signal. eARC lets Dolby Atmos give its best performance using Dolby TrueHD, a “lossless,” high-resolution audio signal. In 2022 an amendment to the specification for HDMI 2.1a was announced which introduced a new feature called HDMI Cable Power, which enables users to use HDMI cables that are much longer than are currently supported, without the need for a separate power connector. To take advantage of the feature, however, users will need to have both a new type of HDMI cable and an HDMI source device that supports the feature. We're yet to see any products announced that include it, but it's worth noting that new HDMI cables with Cable Power will ship with a separate power connector, normally a USB Micro-B or Type-C, for use with non-compatible source devices. As discussed above, there are now HDMI 2.1 TVs available from the likes of LG, Samsung, Sony, Vizio, Hisense, Panasonic and Philips. As the latest generation of Earfun's Free Pro model, the Free Pro 3 goes all-in on new features while retaining the ultra-compact shape and style that sets the Free Pro apart from larger earbuds. The headlining feature for some Android users is Qualcomm's Snapdragon Sound compatibility, which brings hi-res audio support via the aptX Adaptive Bluetooth codec and higher-quality voice transmission thanks to aptX Voice. Inputs with HDMI 2.1 features, like the one on this Samsung TV, primarily cater to gamers right now. Sarah Tew/CNET The really short version

Arguably one of the more important HDMI 2.1 improvements has nothing to do with video at all. In fact, audio devices, including soundbars and amplifiers, might benefit from HDMI 2.1.

PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X

The only hangup with Dolby Vision is that it is a proprietary technology, and not every electronics manufacturer wants to pay licensing fees to use it. HDMI 2.1 brings dynamic HDR performance to other flavors, including the dynamic version of HDR10, known as HDR10+, and others, which should bring better HDR experiences to more TVs and more formats. That concludes our rundown of HDMI 2.1. As you can see, the new standard opens up a wealth of new possibilities. And with 2.1a already on the way, there’s never been a better time to opt for a 2.1-capable TV or receiver. HDMI Cable Power overcomes the limitation of HDMI 2.1's Fixed Rate Link signalling system, which delivers ultra-fast, high bandwidth signals but can only be preserved for short distances, meaning that passive cables are restricted to just a few metres in length.
