HDMI Cables Matter

Recently there have been discussions on television and the internet suggesting it’s not worth upgrading to high quality digital audio and HDMI cables.

QED has been a leading manufacturer of cables and accessories for more than 40 years, so we thought we might make a contribution to this debate by sharing some of the results we’ve found over those years. And for clarification, one of the reasons we are able to do this is because, at our cable assessment and design facility, we own some of the world’s most advanced HDMI digital measurement equipment.
