HDMI cable limitations?

[EvilKitty]

I am using my sandy bridge based laptop with a 1920x1200 @ 60 Hrz display

unless i drop to 1920x1080 i get audio flaws and artifacts on the display (green dots/disconnects)

I know one of the HDMI ports has issues on this display

Is there a cable version standard that is required for hdmi to run at 1920x1200?

Edit: audio still has issues at 1920x1080, but not as bad so far

umm why would you even want 1920x1200? Thats not really a standard and some stuff with be stretched.

You would have to know what HDMI version is on the laptop, it's most likely 1.4 at least so it shouldn't have any problems even up to 4k 30hz, the HDMI cable shouldn't matter unless it's like an incredibly poorly made or really thin cable. But even then it should be fine..

16:10 is a perfectly standard resolution, and things aren't going to be stretched unless it's really poorly made software going full screen.

I just remembered about a second cable i have here from where i wall mounted a tv and the mount came with a cable, so far with 12 min in it seems to work fine

with the other cable it was acting like it got monetary unplugged with alot of stuff animations screen (imgur home page)

the other cable is probably a cheapo cable i got on ebay
