Your Smart TV Looks Bad Because of That Cheap Old Cable—Here’s What to Replace
1 min read
Summary
Outdated or poor-quality cables often impede the picture on a smart TV, despite people spending a lot of money on the TV itself and subscriptions to streaming services.
Older HDMI cables or low-quality DisplayPort cables may hinder the full effect of HDR pictures because they are not capable of transmitting the required bandwidth.
Cables which are not certified to carry the data rate needed for modern 4K HDR TV can cause the picture quality to fade, audio to lag, or screens to tear.
A simple way to solve this issue is to ensure that cables are updated and of good quality, and that they are certified to handle the required data rate.
Also, ensure that the cable is the correct type and version for the devices being used, and that the length of the cable is suitable for the purpose.
Certification should also be checked for HDMI cables to guarantee the full eARC experience.
