Curious if Apple’s previous HDMI 1.8m cables are high speed and support the full functionality of 4K as the new bell in 2m HDMI high speed cable they are selling instead?
Is there a difference?
Is there a difference?
Yes there is, I have such a disc that I play on my Oppo 203 player. And it is a rather mainstream movie as well. Looks fantastic and was filmed at 120fps...There is no such thing as 4K HDMI cable.

Any recent high-speed cable should do.
Sufficient quality of cheap chinese cables (they cost $0.44 off factory) is a different matter.
Recent 4K HDR devices mention cables with 18Gbps sustained transfer rate. This will be only required to transfer 4K at 60fps or higher with 4:2:2 or 4:4:4 chroma.
There is no content on consumer market yet that has these characteristics. I understand that UHD bluray player from Panasonic can output such stream, but UHD Premium bluray disc does not contain such material.
What movie is this?Yes there is, I have such a disc that I play on my Oppo 203 player. And it is a rather mainstream movie as well. Looks fantastic and was filmed at 120fps...
Billy Lyn is 60fps and filmed at 120fps. Looks amazing when played on my Oppo to my OLED.What movie is this?
I did not know that BD standard would allow more than 60fps or any other chroma subsampling than 4:2:0

Don't you believe what Samsung is saying?So back to time Apple HDMI cable, I have it with a new Samsung 4k and the new 4K atv, it says it’s getting 4K hdr at 60hz, would this in fact conclude it is working correctly and transmitting 4K hdr or is it upscaling?
Should have known that
Having another look at it - hdmi.org confirms, that there indeed is only a "High Speed" HDMI cable, that is HDMI 2.0 compatible. 18Gbps bandwidh was achieved by altering the signalling method of the interface. Not the cable.

It would be upscaling if it reported receiving lower res image than 4K. If it says it receives 4K at 60Hz, then that must be what comes out from your HDMI cable. And this is to be expected with aTV 4K unless you've set it to output 1080p or even less in Audio & Video Settings.
