    Bad hdmi cable? But it's brand new


    it might be hard to see but my monitor screen is all orange and it's telling me to put in my pin to log in. This was fixed when I switched out the hdmi cable but this hdmi cable is brand new and also so is this monitor. I got both no more than 3 months ago!

    is my spare hdmi cable bad

    1) The reliability of any pre-made electrical lead like HDMI is not good, quality varies. I have been using them for over 40 years.You will always need at least one spare to substitute for test purposes.

    2) Those are DisplayPort cables, not HDMI. No use for your TV. Microless is obviously clueless listing them in the HDMI cables section.

    3) Get the length of HDMI 2.0 spec lead you require. Get a reasonable quality HDMI lead of a reputable brand (and an extra one).

    is my spare hdmi cable bad

    Your link is to a DisplayPort cable. It looks similar to an HDMI cable, but it is not compatible. (Look closely at the connectors.) You want an HDMI cable.

    DisplayPort - Wikipedia

    HDMI - Wikipedia

    Your KDL-42W800B is a full HD (1080p) display., and its specifications don't list any refresh rates above above 60 Hz. You wouldn't get any benefit from an HDMI 2.1 cable (for 8k/60 Hz or 4k/120Hz). Or even a certified premium HDMI 2.0b cable (for 4k/60Hz).

    Cables like those rarely fail, in normal use. The connectors (on the cable, TV, or PC) can be damaged.

    Bad hdmi cable? But it's brand new

    Why exactly is ATi considered be better at HDMI?

    I plug my HDMI cable into the card, then into my TV. Those are the steps that I have to do. All the steps you list make absolutely no sense to me.
