HDMI cables allow communication between devices like computers, gaming systems, DVD players, and televisions. If you’re buying one for a particular purpose, it’s easy to start feeling overwhelmed after browsing all the available types. Keep reading to find out helpful information that could make it easier to purchase with confidence.
Don’t Be Too Concerned With Cable Versions
As technology has improved over the years, it has caused new versions of HDMI cables to arrive on the market. An older version might have a 1.2 product label, but newer versions may read 1.3 or 1.4. If you’re an inexperienced buyer, it might seem best to just get the highest version you can find, assuming it’ll give the best quality performance.
Actually, it’s far more important to look at the features associated with the systems that’ll be connected to the cable and make sure the accessory you’re thinking about purchasing is compatible with them.
Know the Common Varieties Available
While shopping for HDMI cables, you’ll likely find them in standard and high-speed versions, plus models of each that have separate optional Ethernet channels. The standard kind without Ethernet is what you’d likely need if it will just be used along with a home theater system, because it can transmit both 1080i or 720p video.
For 3-D video or any type that’s greater than 1080i, consider choosing a high-speed version instead, due to the requirements of more advanced video resolutions. When you need to share Internet connections or network your devices, go with types that have Ethernet channels.
Purchase Genuine HDMI Cables
People often try to purchase the least expensive accessories available, especially if they’re aiming to spend less on the smaller components of an audiovisual system in order to splurge on things like game systems or high-definition televisions. Luckily, it’s easy to find reasonably priced accessories, especially by purchasing them online at a place such as our website.
No matter where you buy from, always look for the HDMI logo to verify that a product is genuine. The original versions have been carefully tested to ensure proper performance and adherence to safety standards.
Now that you’ve learned the basics, it should be easier to have a productive shopping experience.
