Common HDMI Cable Faults

[@johnnysokko2004]

I spent a couple of hours trying to troubleshoot why the TiVo wasn’t showing up on my brand new Samsung. I kept getting a “no signal” error message. I thought it was the settings so I spent all that time trying different settings. Nothing. Watched your video. Two minutes later (and using a different HDMI cable), problem fixed. THANK YOU!

[@Erosyn666]

Thank you for the infos ! This video helped me to solve my problem, below the description for those still seeking if it can work for them. Got a new tv 4k (TCL50 p8 m) with all the tralala to lure me in and the screen while working was tilting and showing a message about the hdmi port (the name of the port, hdr and the resolution every now and then) while using ps4 or pc. The same hdmi cable worked just fine with the same devices but on older tvs and it was making me crazy. i switched the pc signal to 720p in my case and it solved the problem, now i must find a better cable :)

[@NicVandEmZ]

Can a cable work and then not work after because i having a issue were when I turn my tv it’s dose not Shoe my dvr box it just shows a greyish black screen but when I go though the impute and back to hdmi it works

[@drrmdjr]

Speaking of hdmi problems...what’s going on with my audio while watching tv with video normal and audio normal, then all of a sudden, the audio becomes very distorted but picture is fine. I’ve found that by reaching behind the tv(Panasonic) and pulling out the hdmi cable gently then putting it back in, the distorted audio returns to normal. Other times I just turn the power off on my universal remote and turning it back on. I use a Zvox sound bar speaker instead of the internal tv speakers. After years of dealing with this issue usually a few times a night, I just can’t narrow the problem down. I’ve used different hdmi cables, have had several different dvr/cable boxes and have tried all 3 hdmi ports on my tv. Nothing has changed. What’s causing this problem?

[@saucypupusas4200]

hi, i have a hmdi cable connected to my ps4 and i don’t use it but the day i turned it on, it didn’t turn on at all on my tv and i honestly don’t think it’s the ps4 because the hdmi cable is chewed up.

I know this video was put out years ago but hopefully you may be able to help? I’m having really bad pixelation issues during cut scenes on games on my Xbox one x I’ve also plugged in my sons one S using the same HDMI cable. Normal viewing on Netflix and watching KZbin is fine really good picture. I’ve changed pictures settings and Xbox settings and still having the same issue! My TV is a Samsung Q60r. HDMI cable I’m using is a good high speed Philips with gold connectors. Do you think it may be the cable? I’ve tried swapping the HDMI cable from my Nintendo switch and the picture keeps coming on and off but works fine on the switch. Please help.

[@Tongieone]

Will a bad cable effect sound as well? I installed a new receiver and the sound will only work intermittently coming from the 4K tv to the reciever

[@Fireteam2479]

Yes it will.

[@MOGGYANGRYgrrr]

my hdmi cable was gradually degrading, causing bigger amounts of input lag which made gaming so incredibly impossible to play over time until I bought an amazon basics cable and 4K gaming and HDR has been as instant as I expected it to be... could it be because I had an out of date cable in that was only accepting 30hz 4K?

Thank you sir. I've been having problems with my Ps4 pro not delivering HDR to my LG TV. I was quite sure it was Sony's fault. After I saw your video, I swapped out my HDMI cable with my Xbox One S and it solved the problem. Now, the only problem now is, how do I determine a good hdmi cable from a cheap one? I can't determine quality by price because, they sell HDMI cables for over $100, and I know that's just a scam.

I think my electrician used a 1080 p cable but my TV is 4K and I am getting slightly blue dots on my screen.

Could I cut the hdmi head off and replace it, I’m just not sure what to do and it is very worrying as I just got my setup completed and I invested a lot into it all.

Apparently an hdmi to hdmi converter type cables can damage port or console, i bought one for optical out in ps4 slim as both the console and tv lacks optical out and soundbar i bought has optical in, first it had display errors and now game crashes and most times system crashes white light issues, thankfully ps4 is still under warranty, be aware of buying any converters for the consoles, i will still buy another 5v hdmi to hdmi converter but the next one will have its own power supply adapter unlike the usb one i bought in, pretty sure its the hdmi converter caused hdmi port and other issue in the ps4 console
