No. HDMI cables will need an HDMI input and only HD capable TVs will have them.
There is no such thing as '120Hz' HDMI cables. Marketing hype has cables promoted for many things that make no difference in the picture or compatibility. The only features that require special cables are 3D and Ethernet over HDMI, both of which can be had with HDMI 1.4 spec cables. The signal sent to the television is going to be 24 or 60 frames per second (24Hz or 60Hz). It is the TV that creates the 120Hz or 240Hz refresh rate to create smoother motion.
HDMI is a standard interface for standard and high definition video signals and is independent of the equipment that is connects. Ensure that any HDMI cable is HDMI 1.3 compliant. All licensed HDMI cables have been tested and approved for a maximum length. If the cable is properly licensed, it will operate without problems. Remember that price makes little difference - either the cable works or it doesn't. Make sure that the cable is bought from a reputable retailer and has the HDMI logo on it to ensure it is compliant.
HDMI cables should be manufactured to the HDMI standard and have the HDMI logo on the cable or packing. The logo should guarantee that the cable will operate correctly. Because HDMI is fully digital, a cable will either work or it won't. There will be no improvement in quality by purchasing more expensive cables. Claims by manufacturers that their cable must be used for "full quality" or "best quality" are misleading. Certain manufacturers offer cables in excess of $300. Be assured that they will provide EXACTLY the same quality of image and sound as a $10 cable. Of course, the $300 cable might look better! Although some cables may be more robust than others, this is only likely to make a difference if the cable will be repeatedly connected and disconnected. Other than that, expect the lowest cost cables to perform as well and last as long as the most expensive.
HDMI cables allow a single plug to connect items to the HDTV and to sync up with it. The items can be any of the following kind of items, home theater, game console, blu-ray player, DVD player/ recorder, HD cable box, Camera, Photo Frame, etc
To safely and effectively run HDMI cables through a wall, you can use in-wall rated HDMI cables that are designed for this purpose. Make sure to use a cable management system such as wall plates or conduit to protect the cables and comply with building codes. It is recommended to consult a professional installer for assistance to ensure proper installation and safety.
No. It matters only when you are dealing with an analog signal. With digital signals the signal is there or its not. There is no improvement by choosing the really expensive monster cables.
AnswerIf you want them in 1080p yes. HDMI stands for "high definition multimedia interface" and will do both your audio and video. You can also use the component cables (the 5 cables with the green, blue etc) This will make it in 1080i. The naked eye can tell zero difference between 1080p & 1080i. The p stand for progressive & the i for interlaced. Both are high quality HDTV. The HDMI & 1080p is newer & considered to be the best though.
HDMI is a signal interface that carries digital data. As long as the data is received without error, the quality of signal remains identical. HDMI cables that are properly tested will carry an HDMI signal without errors and therefore no cable will produce better results than any other. A fault with a cable normally results in no signal being displayed rather than a poor quality signal. Better quality cables will tend to be a larger diameter than cheap cables and use better quality contacts as well. These will bot contribute to long term reliability but neither will affect image quality in any way.
In the age of High Definition, HDMI cables have become essential components for computers, HDTVs, Blu ray players, video game consoles, and other HD video devices. In general, HDMI cables are expensive and the price increases significantly for every extra inch of cable length. To save money, it is a good idea to buy the shortest possible HDMI cable that reach far enough to make a connection between two devices, such as a DVR and HDTV.
Just get an HDMI cable if you don't already have one then plug it into the port underneath where you normally put the av cables on your 360. Then plug the other end into your HDMI port on your tv and you're all set. (TV must be HDMI compatible, and make sure the input is on HDMI, not component or anything)
This sounds like a damaged connector. On the standard RWY cable, make sure you have all connectors in probably. I know by experience these cables can be quite hard to push into the socks. HDMI cables can be damaged more easier if forced or just used quite alot.
To connect a Nintendo 64 to a Samsung Smart TV, use an AV to HDMI converter since the N64 outputs composite video (yellow, red, and white cables). Plug the N64's cables into the converter, then connect the HDMI output of the converter to an available HDMI port on your TV. Finally, set your TV to the corresponding HDMI input to display the N64's output. Make sure to adjust any settings on the converter if needed for optimal display.
