Just bought Sony 55" 900H TV (HDMI 2.1, eARC). Ethernet cable connected directly to TV. However, using Digital optical cable for sound to Yamaha RX-V765 AV Receiver because it's not ARC or eARC cable. Have 2013 vintage 30-foot Monoprice Redmere HDMI High Speed With Ethernet cable in wall (was using with older Samsung and the Yamaha). New Yamaha TSR 700 (HDMI 2.1, eARC) ordered. I have been using a Logitech Harmony 900 to control the old equipment. Would like to do away with the Harmony if the eARC and CEC are capable of doing those things.
The only HDMI 2.1 Compliant cables available for 30 feet are optical cables and 2 or 3 times the price of HS with Ethernet cables. I believe the current Redmere cable is 4K capable, ARC capable, but not CEC capable, and not eARC capable.
My question is do I need to replace the Redmere HS cable with an Ultra HS HDMI 2.1 compliant cable or can just upgrade to a Certified Premium High Speed with Ethernet cable? By going with the Certified Premium High Speed HDMI Cable below I would gain CEC and eARC. My internet goes directly to the TV, I do not do any gaming nor do I have any other video source other than the Sony TV.
