Is this HDMI cable alright for 4K and HDR?

If you had troubled yourself to just read the product details, gel, it doesn't mention 4K or HDR, so how would anyone know? I don't know whether that necessarily means that it won't pass 4K material, much less HDR. Why don't you put "1m HDMI cable 4K" and "1m HDMI cable 4K HDR" into google? Certainly you can find ones without the HDR for less than a fiver, but nobody can stop you spending £25 on this cable ....

It says high speed though, doesn't that count as 4K and HDR?

 

[Son_of_SJ]

I'm genuinely not sure what "high-speed" implies regarding 4K and HDR, gel. Perhaps someone else can help? You see, I have to worry about only 1080p stuff, not all this fancy newfangled 4K and HDR data! *acute*

*smile*. It's confusing me too.

 

[ellisdj]

Why don't you try the one you got then if it doesn't work change it after.

 

[bigboss]

No, this is HDMI 1.4. You need HDMI 2.0.

Check this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B006QKAUQC/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?qid=1456847851&sr=8-6&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=hdmi+cable+4k&dpPl=1&dpID=518jDW5fDRL&ref=plSrch

Or as ellisdj says, check the Audioquest out and return if it doesn't work. The problem is, you cannot test 4K anyways until you get the 4K blu ray player. So wait until then and use existing cables.

Cheers BB, I ordered it or two.

Speaking of 4K Blu-ray players, you are considering this Panasonic one http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/news/ub900-201602294254.htm.

You don't need to worry about that until the 4K blu rays arrive anyway. *good*

This is my old Samsung PS64D8000 on Christmas Eve 2014, hours before my dear friend Ann took it away! Your new Panasonic TX65CZ952B is curved, so it won't seem any bigger than the flat 64" Samsung. Note the amount of overhang beyond the Optimum AV300 stand that you can expect. Oh, the television is on wooden blocks because otherwise the centre speaker, which was flat on the Optimum stand, would obscure the bottom two inches of the screen.

Cool, it looks tall!

 

[Deleted member 2457]

I will post a picture of the box size today too.

 

[Son_of_SJ]

Does anyone know how to prevent the aspect ratios of pictures being distorted when importing them into this website? All the pictures that I input on here appear too tall for their width.

 

[bigboss]

Yes, manually alter the size, maintaining the aspect ratio.
