In our fast-moving world, speed is what's needed in an HDMI cable for your HDTV. But not every high-definition multimedia interface cable can deliver.
Speed
Check the speed rating on the cable package. A minimum of 10.2 Gbps (Gigabytes per second) is required for 1080p high-definition TVs.
Going Faster
If you have an HD Blu-ray player connected to your HDTV via a cable with a 10.2 Gbps speed, you will need to upgrade to a cable that can carry data faster to get the best performance from the player.
Top End
Newer models of HDTVs with high refresh rates in the range of 120 to 240 Mhz need HDMI cables that can operate in the range of 14.5 Gbps or higher.
Length And Speed
If a cable more than 6 feet long is needed, purchase a higher-speed cable to avoid signal dropout.
Speed Savings
A recent review by CNet showed that inexpensive cables work as well as expensive ones, and in some cases better.
