How to Buy HDMI Cables

Step-by-Step Guide

   Step 1: Buy HDMI cables when you need a top quality signal.

   HDMI cables send an uncompressed signal, meaning you don’t lose any quality as it travels through the line.
   
   When signals go through the compression/decompression process, the signal can degrade.
   
   However, that does not happen with HDMI cables.
