Its use can give you a new visual experience. Therefore, it is especially important to buy a high-quality HDMI cable. So what are the recommendations for choosing an HDMI cable?
Tips for choosing an HDMI cable:
1. HDMI cable version and specifications
At present, there are three common HDMI cables on the market, which are 1.3, 1.4 and 2.0. Among them, the HDMI cable version 2.0 has a higher HDMI cable bandwidth extended to 18Gbps, which can support 3840×2160 resolution, 50FPS and 60FPS frame rate.

2. Whether the HDMI cable connector is gold-plated
Connection technology and materials are one of the key factors affecting the quality of HDMI cables. At present, the HDMI interface technology sold on the market has two types: gold plating and nickel plating. From the perspective of transmission effect, gold-plated connectors are better and can effectively reduce the loss of signal transmission. Good quality HDMI cable connectors are generally gold-plated and have a bright surface.
3. Thread material
Choose HDMI cables with moderate hardware and softness. The HDMI cable is too hard and not easy to bend, and may slip or bend when connected, resulting in poor contact. Because the HDMI cable is too soft and thin, it is saved in the material, and the shield layer may be cut into corners, affecting the transmission quality.
4. Wire core technology
HDMI cable with pure copper core is more conducive to ensuring the quality of the transmitted signal. It is soft and bends easily. If the cable adopts iron core or alloy material, the cable is not easy to bend, and the signal transmission is not good.
5. Wire shielding
The shielding and anti-interference treatment of the HDMI cable is also important. Generally speaking, well-shielded HDMI cables are thick at first, then a little hard and elastic.
