Notes & Compatibility
The best choice for most 4K home theater setups. Premium HDMI Certification includes enhanced EMI testing beyond standard compliance — the certification label with anti-counterfeit authentication is a key buying signal. Does not support 4K@120Hz, VRR, or eARC — upgrade to Ultra High Speed for those features.
