Perhaps they're better now but, yeah, for me it didn't work out as intended.
- whatevertrevor 2y agoI've not had any issues getting full bandwidth (4k60hz) from my active HDMI cable. Also I believe there are displayport cables that do the data transfer over optical fiber for long runs as well.
- diggan 2y agoSounds like hocus pocus to me (like gold plated connectors), maybe you get like half a meter of extended distance or something with those? If I had to I'd go the repeater way (or as others mentioned: fiber, but sounds expensive and not maintenance free)
