There are different types of HDMI cables ( Resolution x hz / fps )
If your HDMI cable is cheaper than $42, chances are you won't get the best performance/visuals out of it.


can you explain why it needs to be $42+?

I can't tell if you guys are trolling, or being serious?

Here is roughly a full HDMI Guide.

Also to Further explain the price point, most users are going to purchase there cables at wal-mart for example.
which anything under $42 is Garbage. Ordering online somewhere like newegg or amazon, you can pick up something good for like 14 to 17 bucks.
but for 14 to 17 bucks at wal-mart in store, you will end up getting some Low Quality stuff.

I know that sounds like a terrible explanation, but you get the general idea.
Note: Newer Model HDMI = More Features/Colors ect ect, costs more ect.
Most monitors 2014 and newer will come with a Standard HDMI 1.2
Most Monitors 2018 and newer will come with a Standard HDMI 1.4 , However Even lower end Display ports, would be just as good if not better.

none of that is important, the price is what determines it's compatibility :D /s

Probably, you would have to check.
there is HDMI 1.0 , 1.1 , 1.2 , .3 . 4
then 2.0 - 2.4 , and then 3.0 to 3.4 , and i think 3.5 just came out recently.


Ok so price has everything to do and not what the specs are

Got it
