Information on digital TV and radio in the UK › Forums › Radio & TV Technical › 4K/8K 2.1 HDMI 2 metre cables
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/388337294521
I bought 4 of these 2-metre cables for about £14, saving about £6 today.
These may provide some improvements for my connections or just for the 4K quality playbacks shown on 4K Smart TVS.
Perhaps only useful for the 4K ROKU set-top boxes. Time will tell.
If you see similar cables with blue lines in the eBay images, you’ll see that some sellers charge much more than what I paid. I wanted useful discounts for multiple purchase orders.
Check the HDMI 2.1 specifications and the official website.
I connected the new HDMI cables to the TV devices, and I noticed that the Sky+ HD box output to the 4K TV showed the TV Guide at its best without blurred areas around the text displays.
I checked the information about HDR quality images and checked here:
Settings, Picture Settings, and HDMI settings to reset the TV to enhanced HDR quality.
I checked some extra Pinterest.com TV tricks and tips that led me here:
https://www.makeuseof.com/change-hdr-settings-better-picture-quality/
So I updated the 4K TV by switching off the Smooth Motion setting as well.
The Sky+ HD box output is set to 1080 quality anyway.
If I had the Sky Q or Virgin Media 350 set-top boxes, I could get better quality.
I connected a new HDMI cable to the ROKU 4K set-top box.
Some subscription TV channels may require extra payments, but that’s not my main concern.
There are Ultra-HD videos available on the Internet, and they can be tested.
Some Internet websites offer download programs and quality conversion options, so these can be tested using videos saved to USB drives.
My 4K TV has devices connected, so I aim to get any improvements the new cables may provide.
