HDMI Cable length

[Panc]

So I've got a pc in one corner of a room and a 4K HDR TV on the other side of the room. Is there a max length for HDMI cables that can do this? (The distance from my pc to the TV is around 6-8 metres)

Usually quoted max length is about 10-15m - but for 4K HDR it might be less.

From personal experience, you should be able to go up to 7m as long as its a good cable.  Finding a good cable can be tricky though, the manufacturers lie.

for 4k recommended length is 6ft (1.85m) . 6 to 8m you will need an active hdmi or hdmi booster.

I've read about fibre optic hdmi cables. Would they work? They're kinda expensive

You just need to look for a Premium High Speed certified HDMI cable. There is no specific maximum length defined by the specification. There are practical limits to what can be achieved but as a consumer all you need to look for is whether the cable has passed the certification or not.
