Greeting friends,

An HDMI cable, regardless of the materials used, can either transmit a signal or not – there's no in-between. An expensive HDMI doesn't produce richer colors or crisper sound than cheaper versions.

However, an HDMI cable made with better materials can be more durable, and support higher bandwidth at longer distances, but it won't offer any difference with the picture quality.

Other benefits for higher-priced HDMI cables different can be:

  • Better connectors
  • More flexible materials
  • Lower chance of failure or defects
  • Look and feel of the cable
  • Confidence that they will support the advertised bandwidth

In the end, while both cheap and costly HDMI cables offer the same audio and video quality, a pricier one can provide more durability and reliability.

Does a 4k HDMI Cord Improve Audio and Video Quality?

Whether certified or not, HDMI cables work equally in transmitting audio and video in high definition. Furthermore, the "advanced features" that some manufacturers promote are primarily dependent on the equipment's capabilities on either end of the cable.

A 4K HDMI does not improve audio and video quality better than other compatible non-4k ones. As long as the cable can accommodate the bandwidth required to show 4k content, you're good to go.

An HDMI cable only transmits signals. It doesn't make the audio and video quality better than your TV or other devices' capabilities.

Choosing Between Low and High-End HDMI Cables

When choosing HDMI cables, it all boils down to how much bandwidth your equipment requires for the resolution you need to send, and how long you need the cable to be.

We highly recommend taking the time to research how much bandwidth your equipment is capable of, and getting a cable to match.

For distances longer than the specified HDMI specs for copper cables, we recommend Fiber Optic Cables like the Light-Link 4k HDMI 2.0 cables which support 4k resolutions up to 300 ft. or if you need 8k, the Light-Link 8k HDMI 2.1 Cables can support 8k up to 100 ft.
