HDMI 2.0 Cables Question

[Revan654]

Just bought a Samsung 4k UltraHD TV, It supports HDMI 2.0 and my HDMI cables are 1.3.

What are some good HDMI 2.0 cables (Best picture possible) without spending allot of money?

"HDMI 2.0 does not define new cables or new connectors. Current High Speed cables (Category 2 cables) are capable of carrying the increased bandwidth"

Unless you're having issues, your current cables should work just fine.

The details for my cables list 4k at 24 and I want to get some cables that will fully support 4k at 60.

I'm just having trouble finding good HDMI 2.0 cables since only ones showing up are those expensive monster cables. It would cost be near 300 dollars for all the cables I need.

When your cables were made, HDMI 2.0 wasn't finalized and thus they couldn't test/certify to that standard. Thus, the best they can do is claim 4K at 24Hz because that's was the only certification available at the time (based on the HDMI 1.4 standard).

The HDMI consortium has stated that all 1.4 cables should be compatible with 2.0 so you should be just fine. Unless you see degradation in quality your current cables are just fine.

It's like grabbing a DVD drive only to see it say "compatible with Windows XP". If you put the drive in Windows 7 it will work just fine. All that says is back when the drive was made, there wasn't a Windows 7 certification.

Ok, that's for clearing it up for me.
