Hdmi cable. Is 4k/60hz on 25ft cable possible?

[Charleymuteland]

Can't seem to find the answer, all reviews are mixed down the middle. Some say 4k at 60 works fine or even 4k at 30, some say it only works on cables below 15ft. Does anyone have personal experience on a 25ft cable being able to carry that workload? I just need it to watch videos, sports, to an oled lg from a computer far away, won't be gaming or anything that intense.

 

I am probably overthinking it all but went down the rabbit hole of reading amazon reviews.

Length shouldn't really matter there may be delay (this is not 100% sure just what I know)

Hdmi 2.0 can handle 4K 60fps and hdmi is generally good for up to 50ft. So a 25ft hdmi 2 cable should be good for your use case.

Much appreciated for the input, thank you both.

It shouldn't be much of a problem... cuz u aren't gonna do gaming it won't be an issue... just use a hdmi 2.0 of a reputable brand and all should go fine.

So with a 50ft cable it'd work fine as well? Wouldn't mind having the extra leeway with length if it wouldn't effect performance.

25ft is fine, 50ft is where it might start causing problems.

50 should work but it that is where it starts to go. I would stay under 50ft.

Is there another length between 25ft and 50ft? Would a 40ft cable solve the problem of the 50ft cables starting to cause issues. Or is 40ft not standard size for a cable, I notice there aren't very many of them.

 

Thank you guys so much, i've been stuck on this forever.

A 40ft cable should be fine. This is the first one I found so there is likely a better cable/deal if you look, but this should work. 40ft hdmi with 4K 60 support from a pretty good brand (monoprice).

Thank you so much. I'm completely lost on reputable hdmi cable brands. I've always heard good things about monoprice, would be great if they had it on amazon as I have gift cards for it there, but seems like 20$ more for the same cable on Amazon for some reason. Any chance you know any other brands?

 

Again, thank you

You’re welcome!

This seems to be good for your needs and says it supports 4K 60. I have never heard of this brand, but the reviews seem good and since it’s amazon, returns are pretty easy.
