PC to QN90B via HDMI 2.1

Mr G · 3 Sep 2023 at 17:44

Chaps, I need some advice...

I got a nice QN90B going to waste and only 8ft away from my PC and was thinking of hooking it up to my 7900 XT Nitro+ via HDMI.

Is there any limitations if I was to buy a decent 2.1 cable around 5 meters in length?

No you should be able to get full speed at 5m without having to go fibre optic I think. If it doesn't send the cable back.

HDMI 2.1 cables are less hit and miss nowdays in my experience, got a random brand "ANNNWZZD" last couple of times which worked fine and come in decent lengths and not too expensive.

Just bought an "apparently" Certified Ultra High Speed HDMI 2.1 Cable 8K 60Hz / 4K 120Hz 48Gbps 5m from Kenable.

are copper hdmi 2.1 cables still limited to 3m? I remember they would make black or green screens over 3m if you try sending a 4k 120hz to the tv
