Hiya!

This is probably more simple than what I’m making into, but I want to be sure, so here we go:

Currently in the market for a good HDMI cable, however, I am curious as to what I need to know (as I know nothing about these cables) before buying one. So my use case for this scenario is a 3M long HDMI cable that will connect my desktop(Nobara or Bazzite) to my TV (that has Nvidia Shield). This is for easy access to couch gaming. My desktop has a RX 6700 XT card, but unsure about the specifications of the TV other than it being a 70inch one (can try to find this if its relevant), but I am not looking to stream 4k. So let me know what kinda specs/details i need to look for in a HDMI cable for this :)))

PS. I tried setting up Sunlight + Moonlight, but honestly seemed like a bit too much configuration for my liking, but might give it a go again later on. I’ve also only got access to medium-speed Wifi atm, so this isn’t optional.

    Sadly the TV doesn’t have DP, otherwise I totally would have chosen it…

      That’s too bad. For me it’s proven time and time again to be a superior experience, especially in wacky enthusiast configurations and enough so that when my previous tv planned obsolescence’d itself, I got a large computer display instead as I already used standalone audio monitors instead of the built in speakers of the tv. That and I don’t use cable or over air tv signals and just use computer for all media. I regret not getting something cheaper and waiting for current gen OLED though, those are so “dayyuuumm”.
