Description
An HDMI to HDMI cable transmits high-definition video and audio signals simultaneously and comes in different speed ratings, primarily High-Speed (HDMI 2.0) and Ultra High-Speed (HDMI 2.1), which determine the supported resolutions and refresh rates.
Choosing the Right Cable
The "best" cable depends on your specific devices and the resolution/refresh rate you need. You don't need to overspend on expensive cables, but you do need one that meets the proper bandwidth specifications.
