About this deal

Active (Amplified) HDMI Cable: Longer HDMI cable lengths may require an added boost to transfer a stable signal. Active HDMI cables contain amplification circuitry inside one of the connection heads. In most cases, power is provided internally. However, you may find an active cable that connects an external power source via a small cable that connects from one of the HDMI connector-ends to a USB power or AC adapter power source. Tether Tools is a company that makes high-quality HDMI cables that are very popular with photographers thanks to their performance and dependability. Thanks to the HDMI Mini connection (Type C), this cable makes it easy to connect your camera to a TV or monitor without needing any fiddly adaptors. The latest version of HDMI is called 2.1. This is a huge leap forward in terms of bandwidth, capable of up to 8K resolutions and beyond. There are also new cables, called Ultra High Speed, and these can carry 8K signals as well as the popular 4K/120Hz used by the Xbox Series X and others. If you're into gaming, it's worth trading up to one of these, and as we found with the Cable Matters cords above, it doesn't incur much of a price premium.

When running HDMI cables through a room, you generally want to use a flat cable. They can slip under rugs, run smoothly along the edges of a doorway, and can become almost invisible once installed. They’re also the right choice for most in-wall installations. Cables, HDMI or otherwise, do one thing: transmit data. HDMI data is measured in gigabytes per second (GB/s). You’ve also likely seen version numbers floating around as well (HDMI 1.4, 2.0, and, more recently, 2.1). These technically describe the communication standard being used by the hardware you’re connecting with the cables, rather than the cables themselves. All you need to know for our purposes is that you should get a Premium High Speed cable (18 GB/s) to connect HDMI 2.0 devices and an Ultra High Speed cable (48 GB/s) for HDMI 2.1 gear. If your hardware supports 2.0 or 2.1, you need the matching cable to take advantage. Older cables will still work, but the data will be throttled to whatever the cable can support, limiting framerate and resolution. Meanwhile, eARC (the “e” standing for “enhanced”) is a more recent upgrade to ARC along with the HDMI 2.1 standards. Taking advantage of the torrential 48 Gbps that Ultra High Speed cables support, it can fully support uncompressed audio. Since eARC is baked into HDMI 2.1, you will need an Ultra High Speed HDMI cable to get the full effect. Length and wall installationIf you want to keep hunting for the best deal, make sure the cable you're considering is either Premium Certified, says it can do 4K/60, or can handle 18Gbps bandwidth. And it's an added bonus if it has a great warranty like the Monoprice cables. Belkin is also a trusted brand when it comes to cables, so you can rest assured that this cable will last a long time. Why it made the cut: Ultra Clarity’s sturdy, flat, and flexible cables are perfect for staying out of your way. Ultra High Speed HDMI: Up to 10K resolution with HDR at a 120Hz refresh rate (4K video can refresh at up to 240Hz) Only want to watch Netflix shows (such as The Crown) in 4K and nothing more? If the HDMI cable you’re using now provides a steady picture, you’re all set. When should you buy a new HDMI cable for your 4K TV?

Active HDMI cables includes a signal booster to prevent artifacts and drop-outs over long distances. Active: An active HDMI cable has a small chip built into the cable that takes a little power from the device's HDMI connector and uses it to boost the HDMI signal. These cables cost a little extra, but are far more likely to work. A long passive cable might work for you, but it might not. It depends on your gear. Since they're not significantly more expensive, they're worth considering for any long run. There are several HDMI formats. But you really only need to keep your eye on a couple of them. The first pair to know are HDMI 1.4 and 1.4a. The two are basically indistinguishable at this point because any HDMI 1.4 product that’s not terribly old will be made to the 1.4a standard. There are a couple of advantages to using standard round cables. In some circumstances, cord holders and similar devices are designed for round cables. But outside of terribly niche examples, flat HDMI cables are really the way to go. Choosing a Flat HDMI Cable No, not all HDMI cables have the bandwidth for 4K 120Hz signals. “Standard” and “High Speed” HDMI are still widely circulated and can support 4.95 and 10.2 GB/s, respectively. High Speed HDMI can support up to 4K resolution at 30 Hz, which is good enough for most film and television, though not all the most advanced, dynamic forms of HDR. “Premium High Speed” is the next step up, jumping to 18 GB/s, or enough to handle 4K HDR content at 60 Hz, which can support almost any contemporary application. The fastest level, “Ultra High Speed,” can transmit a whopping 48 GB/s, opening the door for 10K resolution at 120 Hz. Final thoughts on the best HDMI cablesPutting aside formats and features, not all cables are made equal with respect to the quality of their construction. Some have more layers of protection, or use better materials. You can’t always tell how tough something will be from a glance, and unfortunately that’s often the case with HDMI cables. Compatible with Sony PlayStation 5, PlayStation S Digital Edition, Microsoft Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S While there are no hard limits on the length of a HDMI cable, the signal can degrade the longer the cable is. For 4K resolutions, we recommend a maximum length of 3 meters to ensure the best possible image quality and reliability. Active and Optical HDMI cables are directional. This means one end is labeled source or 1 and the other end is labeled TV or 2. The cable must be connected in the proper direction to work. Optical: Though a similar technology to the old-school audio interface, HDMI-over-optical is capable of far greater bandwidth. It's also capable of far greater distances. It's easy to find options that are over 330 feet. Prices have dropped radically in the last few years, with options available for similar prices per-foot as traditional copper cables. Most don't even need external power. They work and look just like a thin HDMI cable.

Certified or tested cables have been tested to make sure they work reliably, and that they’ll support the resolutions and gaming/AV features that they should based on their category. Otherwise, there are a few cables with different swivelling or 90-degree connectors that might make it easier to use them with a screen that’s in a constrained space or mounted on a wall.If your source device is at one end of the room and your display is at the other (such as a video projector and its screen), or if your source and display are in different rooms, you might need a cable with a built-in signal amplifier to ensure the data can be transmitted from one end to the other. You’ll commonly find these cables classified as “active” HDMI cables (preface each of the cable types we’ve already discussed with “active”). Another solution for long cable runs is an HDMI signal booster, such as the Key Digital KD-HDFIX22.
