Q: Questionwhat is the max hertz for the cable is it 120hz?if im going to connect it to a 144 hz monitor can i get up to 120hz or 100hz? if not what is the max hertz for this cable ?

Asked 9 years ago by Taif.

• A:Answer In regards to Hz, HDMI cables will do whatever your TV is capable of. Hz is a measure that, in layman's terms, is the refresh rate, i.e. how many times does the screen refresh in a second to produce the best possible picture. The higher the refresh rate (Hz), the less motion blur you see. Today's LED TVs have a standard refresh rate of 120-240 Hz (can go up a little more technically, but nobody is manufacturing the TVs to do so); older LCDs pretty much max out at 120 Hz; and older plasma televisions maxed out at 600 Hz, which is why you will hear a lot of people tell you that plasma televisions will still outperform most newer LED and 4K televisions (I tend to agree here having currently own a 4K and plasma). Even the earliest adaptations of the HDMI cable, pre-4K could handle the load of the 600 Hz plasma refresh rates with ease, the difference in those cables vs. the newer 4K HDMI cables is data speed. 4K needs 15 Mbps to produce the necessary 4K picture, and these cables can handle up to 18 Mbps. Sorry for the long, drawn-out answer, but I hope this helps.

Q: QuestionI have a Samsung 1080p 55 inch tv. I want to make my picture look a lot more HD than what it is without having to purchase a 4K. Working with 1080p what can I do to enchance a better picture? Do better hdmi cables do the trick?

Asked 8 years ago by Beee.

• A:Answer No... no matter what someone says, digital is digital and transfers sound and picture at 1080p, etc. better cables are built better, creating longevity and quality at the pins (not missing pins), etc. Also, make sure your cables are certified! If you are worried about the picture you can check the quality of your digital feed, etc. and if you have a great feed and want to get a better image then you are stuck going to 4K, but will only experience 4K with 4K feeds. Also, if you upgrade to 4K you will likely want high speed hdmi cables which increase bandwidth, etc. I'm not an expert... just two cents from an average guy! Hope it helps. Andrew

Q: QuestionPlease help me and I thank you. I purchased a SONY TV, KD55X720R and sony 4k Ultra Ble-Ray Disc Player USPX800, both to be delivered and installed friday, 11/3. Is Rocketfish OK or is SKY which reads HCDP 2.2 better? Big price difference.

Asked 8 years ago by Ellen.

• A:Answer Go with this Rocketfish cable. It's 2.2 compliant, though it doesn't say so on the box or on the site. Pretty much if it says it's high speed or supports HDR or UHD you are good to go. I just bought this yesterday and just posted a review. The cable is well made and the connectors are very sturdy. I work in the video industry and generally use no name generic cables that are fine. :) The extra cost of the SKY cables is just profit and a marketing strategy that says 'People who don't know will buy the more expensive version based on a perceived difference in quality.'

Q: QuestionDo I really need a 4k HDMI cable to benefit my PS4 pro? What if I use the standard cable included in the ps4 pro? Will there be a difference?

Asked 7 years ago by Help.

• A:Answer Go for the 4k cable. It does make a different with picture quality. I tried using my old standard HDMI cable for my PS4 when I upgraded to a 4K TV and it wasn't the same. Everything is clearer, brighter and smoother with a 4K cable. This one is a very reasonable price and I have it on my blu-player. (The 4K cable I have for my PS4 now cost in excess of $280 and is phenomenal.)

Q: QuestionWhat is the best HDMI to purchase for better picture quality in a "Samsung 48 inch smart HDTV (UN48J5200)"?

Asked 9 years ago by TRAP.

This question was asked about the related product: Rocketfish™ - 8' 4K UltraHD/HDR In-Wall Rated HDMI Cable - Black

• A:Answer Any HDMI cable should do the job. If you want to be sure it's the best cable around, look for cables labeled as 'High Speed', and the ones that have a sticker on them saying 'HDMI Certified Premium'. What really effects the quality is both the TV itself, as well as the source of the video playing.

  I would recommend:

Q: QuestionI have xfinity for my provider. Do i need a 4k hdmi cable to connect my 4k Ks8000 samsung t.v too the top box? If so will it make the picture look better?

Asked 7 years ago by Justdoit.

• A:Answer I recently upgraded my television to a 4K and had old RCA cables which made the picture fuzzy. When I swapped to the 4K hdmi cables the picture was immensely better. I used 2 cables, one from the receiver to the TV and one from the box to the receiver. My suggestion is to use the 4K cables for a much better picture. Rocketfish cables are pretty pricey but there is an off brand available for a lower price. I used one of each (because the Rocketfish was on sale at the time I bought it). I think either cable will work fine.
