Their old stuff was built very good. I’ve been using a dozen pairs of Monster Cable half meter lengths of their high end Interlink 800 series for about 25 years now and they have held up well. VERY well made and still function perfectly.

Cable Types: The Speed Factor. HDMI 1.4 and 2.0 don’t matter nearly as much as their speed ratings, also defined by the HDMI Forum and HDMI Licensing Administrator. Those specifications touch on speeds with their maximum bandwidths, but they don’t specifically define every cable.

Are 4K cables worth it?

Both Amazon and Monoprice (and others) offer inexpensive HDMI cables that are rated to work with 4K. If you’re doing something like 2160p/60Hz gaming (0r beyond, with HDMI 2.1), then you might need to pay a little extra, but for most people regular cables will be fine. OLED, why 4K TVs aren’t worth it and more.

Can HDMI 2.0 do 4K 120Hz?

You don’t need an HDMI 2.1 connection for 120hz gaming, and many PC players have been able to experience 120fps for some time with an HDMI 2.0 connection. An HDMI 2.1 connection essentially allows for 120fps at 4K, or 8K at 60fps, while an HDMI 2.0 connection can allow for 120fps, but at either 1080p or 1440p.
