For today’s modern TV’s and projectors a higher quality cable is the only way to go for best performance and functionality. So your old cable that was plugged into your DVD player in all probability won’t cut it for a normal 4K TV installation, however, former 1.4 high-speed HDMI cables in many occasions will do the job, so before buying more test them out before spending more money. For 4K Projectors requiring 10m or more in length, an HDMI Fibre Optic Cable 4K@60Hz is the only way to go as long HDMI copper cables just can’t carry all this good 4K data.
