FAQ
What does 'Premium Certified' mean for this HDMI cable?
Premium Certified is an official HDMI licensing program. This cable has been tested and certified to meet all performance requirements of the HDMI 2.0 specification, including the full 18Gbps bandwidth. This certification guarantees reliable performance for features like 4K at 60Hz, HDR, and HDCP 2.2, eliminating compatibility issues common with uncertified cables.
What is the maximum resolution and refresh rate this cable supports?
The cable supports up to 4K UHD (3840x2160) resolution at a 60Hz refresh rate. For higher refresh rate applications, it supports 1440p (QHD) resolution at 144Hz and 1080p (Full HD) at 240Hz. This makes it suitable for both detailed 4K media playback and high-frame-rate gaming or motion-intensive applications.
Does this HDMI cable support HDR?
Yes, this cable supports HDR10, one of the common High Dynamic Range formats. HDR10 enhances the visual experience by providing a wider range of contrast and color, resulting in more realistic highlights, deeper shadows, and richer colors when used with HDR-compatible source devices and displays.
