Product Information

The more detailed versions of the guidelines matter if you want more than just a basic TV signal: If you play video games at more than 30 frames per second, for example, or you intend to make full use of an HDR TV, or you want an HDMI cable that can also carry data over ethernet (most people do not, but that bandwidth can be used for other things). Expertise A 20-year CNET veteran, David has been reviewing TVs since the days of CRT, rear-projection and plasma.

Although still awaiting his Oscar for Best Picture Reviewer, David does hold certifications from the Imaging Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Standards and Technology on display calibration and evaluation.In addition, our audio and video department features top-quality supplies for your home cinema system. If you're looking for the best HDMI cables to connect your new TV or source like a Roku or PlayStation 5, don't overspend. The receiving chip in your TV can also influence whether or not a passive cable will work over long distances—if it’s better at adjusting for a weaker signal, you won’t need the signal boost.

All certified cables of any length must pass certification testing at an HDMI Forum Authorized Testing Center (Forum ATC).

Cables labeled " Premium Certified" are rated to be able to handle the highest resolutions and frame rates. A cable can be considered a "high speed HDMI cable" if it passes 1080p, but not be well enough made to handle 4K. Over short distances, say under 6 feet, just about any recent "high speed HDMI cable" should work fine.
