I'm looking for a couple 2m HDMI 2.1 48gbps cables and see loads on amazon, but can't tell if they are real or fake?
Do the LG sound bars need hdmi 2.1?What are you plugging those cables into that needs HDMI 2.1?
I suspect the answer is nothing.
Therefore the advice above is all you need. Buy a hi-speed HDMI cable and it does everything you currently need and if you do eventually get a device that requires it, by then the cables will have been launched or be supplied with it.
Need a link to find the right cable that's Premium High Speed.Note that NOWHERE on that advert does it use the term Ultra High Speed - because if it isn't certified with HDMI.org they are not allowed to use that term. This is actually a High Speed cable not even a Premium High Speed

Notice how they use the term Ultra HD in the description to make it look like its Ultra High Speed but it is actually a Ultra HD - High Speed Cable
Good luck with that cable.
Nope.Do the LG sound bars need hdmi 2.1?
You'd also need a 2nd GPU just to be able to maybe push it to 100fps on a AAA title.Also was thinking about use my new OLED that supports hdmi 2.1 with my PC. It has NVIDIA G-Sync and FreeSync so I can have my games 120hz 4k. So yes I would need to buy a cable that uses 48gbps
G-Sync AFAIK is not supported over HDMI and requires Display Port to work properly. And you would need 2 GPUsAlso was thinking about use my new OLED that supports hdmi 2.1 and use this TV as monitor. I have a RTX 2080. Specs in my sig. It has NVIDIA G-Sync and FreeSync so I can have my games 120hz 4k. So yes I would need to buy a cable that uses 48gbps
Not all the games I play are AAA. My friend has the same card and he can push near 120hz on his 2080 4k monitor. I think I can too. His cable came with his monitor he just boughtNope.

Thanks mate, but that cable is only 18gbps.I got these (18GBps):

many on here suggest Amazon own brand.
Without that number how would you know if it’s 48gbps? eARC? Those other Premium high speed cables only do 18gbps ,ARCMaybe we need a huge font to ensure folk get the bit about HDMI cables NOT being version compliant - you will never purchase an HDMI 2.1 cable as there is no verifiable certification programme for cables which refers to Version numbers.
Ultra High Speed, Premium High Speed and High Speed are the only verifiable cable categories.

Premium High Speed HDMI cables are certified for the HDMI 2.0 option sets at 18Gbps. Only cables labeled as Premium High Speed HDMI (exact wording) meet those requirements and can be passive only.Without that number how would you know if it’s 48gbps? eARC? Those other Premium high speed cables only do 18gbps ,ARC
when are the official certified premium HDMI 2.1 cables releasing? I see a lot more TVs that use product’s using HDMI 2.1. Where are these premium cables are they ever going to get released for this new format? Why do these TV companies release something and then you can’t use it because there’s no cable that works with it.
I remember this happened at the beginning of 4K 2.0 on everyone looking for cables and they weren’t real.
déjà vu all over again
You'll know that cables support 48gbps when you see certified Ultra HD Premium cables, as the certification is mandatory for those cables, anything being sold and claiming 48gbps is untested and you have no idea if it will support 48gbps or not.Without that number how would you know if it’s 48gbps? eARC?

Just to be correct here the cables will be labelled as Ultra Certified Cable - HDMI Ultra High Speed not Ultra HD Premium or anything similar and will have to carry the Hologram and QR code, which will look like thisYou'll know that cables support 48gbps when you see certified Ultra HD Premium cables
I also might add that HDMI.org will also allow labeling of the cable body, as indicated above for UHS HDMI cables. Ultra HD Premium cables is not an official designation and if cables are sold with that name, it is done soley to confuse the consumer and take their money.Just to be correct here the cables will be labelled as Ultra Certified Cable - HDMI Ultra High Speed not Ultra HD Premium or anything similar and will have to carry the Hologram and QR code, which will look like this

Ultra HD Premium cables is not an officially recognized name for the new cables. The ONLY official designation is Ultra High Speed HDMI cables (UHS HDMI cable).You'll know that cables support 48gbps when you see certified Ultra HD Premium cables, as the certification is mandatory for those cables, anything being sold and claiming 48gbps is untested and you have no idea if it will support 48gbps or not.
Yes there are TV's that support HDMI 2.1, but no devices that plug into those TV's as of yet, I'd expect the first HDMI 2.1 devices to be the next gen consoles and by then I'm guessing we'll have cables available.
Considering the TV is certified Gsync compatible by Nvidia and only has HDMI ports I would say that is wrong.G-Sync AFAIK is not supported over HDMI and requires Display Port to work properly.
