Choosing the Right Honeywell HDMI & DisplayPort Cable Guide

As technology continues to evolve rapidly, HDMI and DisplayPort cables are more than just connectors — they are the lifeline between your devices and your experience. Whether building a home theatre, streaming 8K content, or connecting your laptop to a monitor, the right HDMI cable matters.

Selecting the correct cable is daunting. Our Honeywell HDMI and DisplayPort Cables are suited for different use case scenarios. Consider a scenario in which you have transitioned from a traditional office setting to a remote work environment. In this case, you won’t need long cables for your multi-monitor setup. Instead, use a docking station with multiple HDMI and DisplayPort outputs for a cleaner multi-monitor.

The Honeywell DisplayPort 2.1 is also suitable for content creators working with high-resolution videos, as it supports a resolution of up to 16K at 60Hz. And as a content creator, the Honeywell DisplayPort 2.1 cable is VESA-Certified and has the bandwidth to maximise the potential of your monitor’s color gamut. For gamers, a high refresh rate matters. If your monitor supports high refresh rates, we recommend using Honeywell DisplayPort 2.1, which can give you up to 240Hz at 4k.

Why HDMI & DisplayPort Cable Selection Matters

Your HDMI and DisplayPort cable transmits high-definition video and audio with zero lag and degradation. Buying a poor-quality or outdated HDMI cable can mean:

• Reduced video resolution
• Flickering displays
• Audio dropouts
• Device incompatibility

With Honeywell’s range of Ultimate, Platinum, and Value HDMI and DisplayPort cables, you get top-tier build quality, certified compliance, and high-performance transmission for various use cases.

If you want to connect your smartphone to the TV, streaming your screen may initially seem easy. But the problem that presents itself to you is Lag. We recommend a Honeywell Type C to HDMI Cable, providing a lag-free experience. It is important to note that the smartphone and device must have DP Alt Mode. Otherwise, you will not be able to utilise the cable.

When setting up your home theatre with a projector or a smart TV, our Honeywell HDMI has an audio return channel (ARC), which will help set up your external speaker setup with minimum cables.

Simply put, HDMI with ARC or eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) allows you to connect with a home theatre with more audio channels and bandwidth. The eARC enabled Honeywell HDMI 2.1 technically removes the need for a conventional audio cable in your home theatre system.

To get the best sound experience from the home theatre, connect the eARC-enabled HDMI to your home theatre setup’s ARC port and TV’s or Projector’s ARC port.

For your home theatre’s audio setup requiring eARC, we recommend getting HDMI 2.1, which falls under our Ultimate Series. And for audio setups requiring ARC, we recommend our more budget-friendly options, HDMI 2.0 and HDMI 1.4 series.

If longer lengths are needed in the setup, we suggest looking into our Honeywell HDMI AOC 10 meters or 50 meters.

Our Honeywell HDMI AOC consists of a fibre-optical cable, making it thinner and lighter, and can be used where the signal has to travel a significant distance, in home theatre, conferencing, and connecting displays in commercial settings.

Did you know that airports and shopping malls rely on HDMI AOC for their massive digital signage systems? These cables transmit data to advertising screens and information panels with zero distortion over long runs.

Once you select which cable to purchase based on your use case and budget, don’t forget to register your product here to benefit from the 3-year warranty on our HDMI and DisplayPort cable lineup.

In this guide, we’ll break down Honeywell’s Ultimate, Platinum, and Value HDMI series to help you choose what fits your needs best. Let’s dive into the differences and help you make an informed choice.
