I wish I had seen this video before watching the HDMI 2.1 video. Now I'm going to have to go watch that one again.

[Dramatello]

Thank you for the video.
The real question is how do you differentiate between them?
We all have a bunch of hdmi cables and not all of them has the version written on the cable.
For example, I have one saying “High Speed HDMI Cable”.

It does seem a bit odd that you describe DVI as an analogue interface that predates HDMI. DVI can carry digital signals as well as analogue, so you can convert VGA to DVI-A or convert HDMI to DVI-D using simple cables.

What is the impact of having lower vs. higher framerate on a TV? My amp blew up, and I have to decide on whether to get a new one or a used one. I've found some that are HDMI 1.4....but my TV is 4K, and from the video's commentary, it appears that my frame rate would be half of what it was with my amp that blew up....I'd be going from 2.0 back down to 1.4. In terms of what the "experience" would be, would I see a difference?

Im getting a laptop with hdmi 2.0b and a monitor with hdmi 1.4 can i connect them and will it impact my fps on games?

What about Display Port to HDMI adapter?. I'm wondering if the adapters downgrade the performance instead of just using a full cable having Display port to HDMI. But I know it would be a down grade if using a HDMI to Display Port but if the Display Port was plugged in first to that Display Port going out= (Output) then to the Monitor or TV = (Input) HDMI port it would be better. BUT I wonder if that would damage the TV or monitor latter down the line. I'm saying this might damage because it's forcing to change the design of voltage coming from the Display Port to the design of the Input HDMI port. I am not sure if Display Port has the same Voltage design as the HDMI.

hi, is any difference in the cable? or HDMI 2 cable will fit in HDMI 1 port and vice versa?

[legendlife]

My laptop has 2.0b hdmi port and my external monitor has 1.4 hdmi port can I use 2.0 cables to connect both? And get 144hz

[fabianernestopacheco]

What makes the difference between these cables, is it the materials or some sort of pin arrangement, does HDMI 2.0 have some kind of integrated circuit or something extra inside? All the videos offer pure theory but do not demonstrate anything in practice. It makes me think that it could all be a matter of marketing.
If I change the cable right now from my gaming monitor to HDMI 2.0, what kind of perceptive difference do I get?
