If your TV isn't giving you the picture quality that you expect when gaming, watching a DVD or streaming a movie, it could be your HDMI cable that's letting you down.
What’s in an HDMI cable? They’re all quite similar, aren’t they? An HDMI cable that connects your set-top box, soundbar or Blu-ray player to your TV transmits digital signals in ones and zeros. Does it matter what kind of cable you use? In my experience, it does matter, although I’m not a believer in the type of snake oil that some very high-end cable brands spout.
I remember when I bought my Apple TV 4K and connected it to my TV a couple of years back. I used the HDMI cable that was there from my old set-top box. The picture quality was jerky so I tried to use the settings to change the picture refresh rate to 60Hz. Unfortunately, that option was greyed out. My HDMI cable wasn’t up to standard and I had to buy a new one. Once I had done that, everything was ok and the picture no longer stuttered; all was good.
