HDMI connectors are the standard solution for connecting TVs to multimedia content sources. Since they are also capable of transmitting audio and support the Internet, you don’t need to connect dozens of cables to your TV. Due to their popularity and wide compatibility, they are available in several versions, each designed for something different. Now let’s take a look at what do all those HDMI connectors actually do.
Cables with HDMI connectors have a wide range of applications. From connecting multimedia devices to TVs and monitors, to audio transmission for professional sound systems. The HDMI connector has gone through a long history of development and the latest versions are among the best cables you can buy. HDMI cables support up to 10K resolution, HDR formats, 48 Gbps throughput, and up to 32 audio channels.

Breakdown of HDMI Cable Types
HDMI cables are divided according to their connectors:
HDMI connection cables - have a male connector at both ends of the cable. These are primarily used to connect two display devices.
HDMI extension cables - have a different connector at each end. They are used to extend short HDMI cables.
HDMI 1.4
The most widespread type of HDMI connector, used by most ordinary multimedia devices. Its advantages are the transmission of uncompressed data and the fact that you only need one cable for both video and audio. You can also buy them for pennies.
Ideal for general use
Widely supported
Already outperformed by better technology
HDMI 2.0
A standard cable for connecting 4K devices that is now supported by virtually all 4K TVs. HDMI 2.0 uses the same connectors as previous versions, so backward compatibility is assured.
4K resolution at 60 Hz
High sampling frequency
Unnecessarily high-performance unless you really do watch 4K content
HDMI 2.1
A brand-new standard that promises many new features. HDMI 2.1 is designed to support up to 10K resolution, and can easily handle 4K at 120 frames per second. It comes with dynamic HDR support, which has recently appeared on newer TVs. HDMI 2.1 will also be appreciated by gamers, as the new standard will provide the same features as FreeSync and G-Sync, allowing the same gaming improvements for a fraction of the cost.
