Are there any differences in quality from HDMI cables 120Hz and 60Hz?

There is no such thing as '120Hz' HDMI cables. Marketing hype has cables promoted for many things that make no difference in the picture or compatibility. The only features that require special cables are 3D and Ethernet over HDMI, both of which can be had with HDMI 1.4 spec cables. The signal sent to the television is going to be 24 or 60 frames per second (24Hz or 60Hz). It is the TV that creates the 120Hz or 240Hz refresh rate to create smoother motion.


What is the recommended HDMI cable for a Samsung 1080p 240 hz LCD?

HDMI is a standard interface for standard and high definition video signals and is independent of the equipment that is connects. Ensure that any HDMI cable is HDMI 1.3 compliant. All licensed HDMI cables have been tested and approved for a maximum length. If the cable is properly licensed, it will operate without problems. Remember that price makes little difference - either the cable works or it doesn't. Make sure that the cable is bought from a reputable retailer and has the HDMI logo on it to ensure it is compliant.


Olevia Which HDMI cord do you use?

HDMI cables should be manufactured to the HDMI standard and have the HDMI logo on the cable or packing. The logo should guarantee that the cable will operate correctly. Because HDMI is fully digital, a cable will either work or it won't. There will be no improvement in quality by purchasing more expensive cables. Claims by manufacturers that their cable must be used for "full quality" or "best quality" are misleading. Certain manufacturers offer cables in excess of $300. Be assured that they will provide EXACTLY the same quality of image and sound as a $10 cable. Of course, the $300 cable might look better! Although some cables may be more robust than others, this is only likely to make a difference if the cable will be repeatedly connected and disconnected. Other than that, expect the lowest cost cables to perform as well and last as long as the most expensive.

Does the quality of HDMI cable make a difference...Monster vs. Generic?

No. It matters only when you are dealing with an analog signal. With digital signals the signal is there or its not. There is no improvement by choosing the really expensive monster cables.


Sony Blu-ray player do you need HDMI cables to have better quality?

AnswerIf you want them in 1080p yes. HDMI stands for "high definition multimedia interface" and will do both your audio and video. You can also use the component cables (the 5 cables with the green, blue etc) This will make it in 1080i. The naked eye can tell zero difference between 1080p & 1080i. The p stand for progressive & the i for interlaced. Both are high quality HDTV. The HDMI & 1080p is newer & considered to be the best though.


Where can I buy the best HDMI cable from?

HDMI is a signal interface that carries digital data. As long as the data is received without error, the quality of signal remains identical. HDMI cables that are properly tested will carry an HDMI signal without errors and therefore no cable will produce better results than any other. A fault with a cable normally results in no signal being displayed rather than a poor quality signal. Better quality cables will tend to be a larger diameter than cheap cables and use better quality contacts as well. These will bot contribute to long term reliability but neither will affect image quality in any way.


HDMI Cables: Buying Minimum Length to Save Money?

In the age of High Definition, HDMI cables have become essential components for computers, HDTVs, Blu ray players, video game consoles, and other HD video devices. In general, HDMI cables are expensive and the price increases significantly for every extra inch of cable length. To save money, it is a good idea to buy the shortest possible HDMI cable that reach far enough to make a connection between two devices, such as a DVR and HDTV.


How do you hook up HDMI to you Xbox 360 elite?

Just get an HDMI cable if you don't already have one then plug it into the port underneath where you normally put the av cables on your 360. Then plug the other end into your HDMI port on your tv and you're all set. (TV must be HDMI compatible, and make sure the input is on HDMI, not component or anything)


Why cant you hear sound on your xbox 360 if you connected everything?

This sounds like a damaged connector. On the standard RWY cable, make sure you have all connectors in probably. I know by experience these cables can be quite hard to push into the socks. HDMI cables can be damaged more easier if forced or just used quite alot.


Label Your HDMI Cables?

While attaching your HDMI cables to your new Samsung 2011 LED TV, make sure that you label each one. You can do this simply by putting a piece of tape over the cable and writing a note to yourself on the tape. This will not negatively impact the cable itself. It will help you to know what you need to unplug when you are working with all of the different devices that go with the TV.


How long is a USB cable?

I think standard USB cables are limited to 5 metres. But you can of course make it longer by connecting several cables together.
