You may get better quality picture and sound if you got a new HDMI cable with the new TV. I am assuming your 10 year old one is not 4k.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If your current HDMI cable is 2.0 or higher, you should be good to go. The one caveat to keep in mind, if you're mainly watching cable TV, you won't see any benefit with a 4K TV until the content providers catch up with the technology. In order to experience full 4K, everything in the signal chain has to be 4K, including the source signal. That means that the TV, AV receiver, Blu-Ray player, gaming console, streaming service, and all the cables connecting the devices together must all be 4K capable. By the time everyone gets use to 4K, 8K will be taking over and the whole process will continue. Progress I guess. Hope that helps.
