How to choose the best HDMI cable?
Here are a few quick tips that you can go through to select the best HDMI cable for yourself:
HDMI version: HDMI, just like USB has a different version of it. With each new version, there are various improvements, especially in terms of speed and reliability. So, always look out for the latest version. If you’re not using the latest version your HDMI won’t allow 144Hz or other features. Compatibility: Although you might have picked up the latest version of the HDMI cable available, if your device doesn’t support it, it is totally useless. So, make sure to check your device’s manuals to avoid no HDMI signal issues on your PC. Reliability: HDMI lets you enjoy your media without any compression. So, they are going to be used for a long time. Make sure that the build quality is good. Braided HDMI cables are the way forward. HDMI connector style: There are different types of HDMI connectors in use, standard, mini, and micro. Ensure you are buying the correct connecter-style HDMI cable that fits in your device.
