Product Information

In many setups, you might not have a choice; you will just use the connection type supported by all your hardware.

You will only need to buy a new cable to watch 4K UHD video if you currently have a category 1 HDMI cable. A category 2 ‘high speed’ HDMI cable will support up to 4K/60 UHD video. First, you need to make sure your HDMI Switcher supports 4K and HDR (as do the PS4 Pro, PS5 and XBOX Series X). By all means, buy an HDMI cable with gold-plated connectors, but you really don’t need to pay extra just for this feature. Where Can You Buy an HDMI 1.4 or HDMI 2.0 Cable? In this situation, it is possible to buy DVI to HDMI adapters to change one end of a cable from one connector type to another.

Your TV and amplifier/soundbar both need to support HDMI ARC. If not, then you might need to use an optical connection instead. There are currently 3 standards of HDMI cable – category 1 (standard), category 2 (high-speed and premium high-speed) and category 3 (ultra high-speed). But how will you switch between these three devices? There are three options, depending on the HDMI switcher you buy: For example, when you switch on your TV, CEC will automatically turn on your soundbar – or your Blu-ray player will automatically select the correct HDMI input on your TV.

Also, it can sometimes be annoying as a device will switch itself on/off when you don’t want it to.You might need a new cable for HDMI 2.1, which allows for increased video resolutions of 4K/120p and 8K/60p.
