Product Description

Future-proof your TV setup and get the most out of your gaming equipment by upgrading to an Echogear HDMI 2.1 cable. It's backward compatible to work with your existing gear and won't be outdated for years, saving you money. Wondering why HDMI 2.1 matters? Here's what 2.1 cables have that 2.0 don't.

Think of HDMI bandwidth as how much information can be transmitted at one time. HDMI 2.1 cables have 2.6x greater bandwidth than older 2.0 cables. 48Gbps (vs 18Gbps) is a crazy amount of bandwidth that will be able to support resolutions up to 10k. That's right, 4k signals are a piece of cake for this cable. Upgrading to HDMI 2.1 is like replacing a 2 lane dirt road with a speedy 5 lane highway, so tell your data the commute is about to get easier.

Traditional HDMI cables can support 4k content, but only up to 60fps. As computers and gaming systems continue to become more robust, so do the hardware requirements. The best gaming system in the world won't be able to realize it's full potential without an HDMI 2.1 cable. Always remember, your hardware is only as good as the cable that connects it together.

You've probably heard of HDR (High Dynamic Range) on newer TVs, and quite frankly it's awesome. While 4k gets a lot of hype, HDR is the best improvement in TV picture since HD became a thing. The next evolution is Dynamic HDR which allows each scene to maximize HDR's capabilities, instead of a single setting for the entire movie. That means contrast on all scenes will be perfect. Just remember, your hardware has to be capable of using Dynamic HDR for this cable to transmit the signal.

Overall, if you are buying a new HDMI cable, getting a 2.1 cable is the best bet. While your Roku, Blu Ray Play, or PlayStation Plus might not be able to take advantage of the awesome specs today, you'll be glad you have the best cable when new technologies come out.
