    For anyone learning in this thread, that’s not to say all HDMI cables are created equal.

    You want to make sure the HDMI you get has enough bandwidth to push the amount of data you will need. The HDMI that came with your Xbox 360 will hold back the capabilities of your new PS5.

    Additionally, some HDMI cables are cheaply made and the signal isn’t maintained in every instance like it should be. LTT tested several to show how they differ.

      Yes. There are different specs of hdmi today. Same with how cat5 and cat6 ethernet cable are interlopable, but cat5 will bottleneck equipment designed for cat6. Things like more consistent quality control, wire gauge, or twist angle effect bandwidth.
