Can I hook up both a DVD player and a cable box using HDMI 2.1 cables. I got the sound covered with S/PDIF from the cable box and a COAX cable from the DVD player with both connecting to a DAC on my Gryphon Integrated Amp. null

The LG 32-inch UltraGear™ Glossy OLED Dual Mode 4K UHD 165Hz or FHD 330Hz 0.03ms G-Sync Compatible Gaming Monitor, Model # 32GX850A-B, features two HDMI 2.1 input ports for connecting to external devices with HDMI outputs.
HDMI 2.1 cables are not necessary for connecting your DVD player or Cable set-top box to the monitor.
While HDMI 2.1 cables are backward compatible and will work, they offer no performance advantages over older cables for standard DVD content.
Standard High-Speed HDMI 2.0 cables are more than sufficient to handle the 4K/60Hz, HDR, and audio bandwidth requirements typically delivered by cable providers. HDMI 2.1 is designed for high-end gaming (4K@120Hz) or 8K content, which cable boxes do not currently produce...^Ivan.
