Question What HDMI version?

[marc873a]

Okay, so I recently bought what I believed was a 2.0 HDMI cable from a company. After emailing them a few times, I found out that the HDMI cable was apparently listed wrong on their website, and they told me, they had sent me a 1.4b instead. I have gotten my money back but I am now wondering:

Did they actually send me a 2.0 or a 1.4b? In the Nvidia control panel, I can set my resolution to 4k @ 60 hz, which should not be possible for a 1.4b cable. I see a noticeable difference in the hz rate when I change between 30 and 60 Hz. Is it possible that it displays in 1920x1080 at 60 Hz, while it lists it as 4k in the Nvidia control panel? If so, are there any other way to check what version it is?

Thx in advance

Cables don't have a version. They can be certified to work with a version, but that doesn't mean it only works up to that version. As long as the cable is well built, it can handle anything.

Can you pass on pictures of what you see on the cable's insulating sheath and the packaging, perhaps the stickered code on said package?

There isn't much to see here. I have thrown the packaging out

If it doesn't say "High Speed HDMI" or something similar printed on the cable jacket then it's a non-certified cable, and there are no guarantees about anything.
