<strong>How</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Choose</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> <strong>Best</strong> <strong>HDMI</strong><br />
<strong>Cable</strong>
◦An <strong>HDMI</strong> cable is run from a cable supplier<br />
box <strong>to</strong> a television set <strong>to</strong> provide clear<br />
graphics which greatly improves <strong>the</strong> picture’s<br />
clarity and resolution.<br />
◦<strong>HDMI</strong> is short for High Definition Multimedia<br />
Interface.<br />
◦If you go by <strong>the</strong> s<strong>to</strong>re <strong>to</strong> pick one up, you’ll<br />
find that <strong>the</strong>re are several options available.<br />
◦There are several aspects <strong>to</strong> consider when<br />
purchasing an <strong>HDMI</strong> cable.
◦Choosing <strong>the</strong> length of <strong>the</strong> cable can have<br />
some serious effects on <strong>the</strong> final quality of<br />
<strong>the</strong> picture that is delivered.<br />
◦A basic rule is <strong>to</strong> purchase an <strong>HDMI</strong> cable that<br />
is an appropriate length without any extra<br />
length.<br />
◦If a cable that is <strong>to</strong>o long is used, some signal<br />
loss can occur and it will affect <strong>the</strong><br />
performance.
◦The standard rating on <strong>the</strong> <strong>HDMI</strong> cable is very<br />
important <strong>to</strong>o.<br />
◦Check <strong>the</strong> rating before purchasing a cable as<br />
<strong>the</strong> rating will determine whe<strong>the</strong>r or not <strong>the</strong><br />
cable will work with your device.<br />
◦A cable that has a higher rating will work on<br />
devices that are rated lower, but <strong>the</strong> converse<br />
is not true.<br />
◦This is why it is important <strong>to</strong> purchase a cable<br />
with <strong>the</strong> proper rating.
◦The premium cables are best.<br />
◦They last a lot longer and are made using<br />
higher quality materials.<br />
◦The older versions of analog cables were<br />
standardized, but <strong>the</strong> newer premium cables<br />
are plated with gold <strong>to</strong> make sure <strong>the</strong>re are<br />
superb signals and very clear images.<br />
◦If you need very good graphics and are willing<br />
<strong>to</strong> pay a little more premium cables are worth<br />
it.
◦Do not buy cables just because <strong>the</strong>y cost<br />
more; a higher price alone does not<br />
necessarily indicate higher quality.<br />
◦Take time <strong>to</strong> see what <strong>the</strong> cables are made of<br />
and compare quality of materials.<br />
◦If a cheaper brand will produce <strong>the</strong> same<br />
quality <strong>the</strong>re is no reason <strong>to</strong> spend more just<br />
<strong>to</strong> buy a brand name.
◦Make sure <strong>to</strong> check your device before you go<br />
out <strong>to</strong> purchase <strong>the</strong> cables.<br />
◦Check all <strong>the</strong> dimensions of <strong>the</strong> hardware<br />
components for <strong>the</strong> device so that when you<br />
purchase <strong>the</strong> cables you can make sure it is<br />
<strong>the</strong> one that is appropriate for use.<br />
◦These are some of <strong>the</strong> basics that need <strong>to</strong> be<br />
considered before purchasing an <strong>HDMI</strong> 1.4<br />
cable.
