No ...the HDMI would still be the limiting factor
 
No need to buy expensive cables ............ just high speed HDMI ......

I think it's important to note the key thing here is high speed HDMI is what is needed. You could buy an Amazon Basic HDMI cable for a TV and have it give just as good quality of a picture as a cable that is five times more expensive. Being digital the signal makes it to the TV and is decoded or it doesn't. Display port though is kind of more picky since again the signal makes it or it doesn't but a lot of cheap cables are not good quality and the signal doesn't make it.

Use an Associates Code & SAVE 5% - 10% on your purchase. Just click on the associates banner to save, or enter the associates code at checkout on your next purchase. If you choose to use my code I want to personally say "Thank You" for using it.

+1.... the length of the digital cable matters too for every type of connector. For example: USB is only good for 15 feet and under, but usb 3 is only good to 10 feet, Displayport is also only good for 15 feet. DVI-d can do 58 feet though at 1080p, higher res's will keep chopping that down. Of course, if you buy boosters with any cable you can go farther but they are much more expensive. Def make sure what your buying is certified then.

ya that makes sense. I just laugh because my mom for xmas last year bought me 2 (top of the line) Excuse my choking
Monster cables thanks to geek squad recommendation and they are both dead.This last one if i turned HDR on it would give weird flickers and then it died so i am using a 10 year old xbox cable and it works perfect for 4k HDR 60 fps on Gears 5
Go figure
