It is not required, but it will help since it is a 4k tv

Hmm, seems to be very limited information on whether that TV specifically supports 60Hz, but the version with the 0 on the end rather then 5 seems to support HDMI 2.0 and 4K@60Hz.

You don't "buy" an HDMI 2.0 "cable". HDMI is just an interface, and existing HDMI cables for 1.4 will work, as long as the TV and the source (so far only GTX 970 and 980) support HDMI 2.0.

Desktop: Intel Core i5 2380P (2400 w/o iGPU), MSI H61, 8GB RAM, 256GB SP610, 500GB WD Blue, HIS R9 280, Antec TruePower Classic 550W, Inwin MANA 134, QNIX QX2710, CM QuickFire Rapid, Logitech G402

 

Laptop: Toshiba Satellite L40D, AMD A6-6310, 6GB RAM, 500GB HDD, Radeon R4 Graphics, 14" 1366x768

Well then... Already bought a 2.0 cable, futureproofing my tv lol  :P
