Thanks, does it matter to use hybrid or true fibre for purpose of lowest latency?paddyhhh wrote: β16 Jul 2025, 07:30Grasshopper85 wrote: β15 Jul 2025, 09:56https://www.amazon.com.au/GeoHN-G-Certi ... rce=1&th=1
Does anyone know if this is a true fibre optic hdmi 2.1 cable, or is it hybrid?
Hybrid.
True fiber have own power supply as this cable

This subforum is for advanced users only. This separate area is for niche or unexpected lag issues such as electromagnetic interference (EMI, EMF, electrical, radiofrequency, etc). Interference of all kinds (wired, wireless, external, internal, environment, bad component) can cause error-correction (ECC) latencies like a bad modem connection, except internally in a circuit. ECC = retransmits = lag. Troubleshooting may require university degree. Your lag issue is likely not EMI.

OMG! I changed to a HDMI cable with a shielded ferrite and now the input lag is gone. I've had this input lag problem for 10 years.

Oh wow, these are cool. I did not know these existed.paddyhhh wrote: β16 Jul 2025, 07:30Grasshopper85 wrote: β15 Jul 2025, 09:56https://www.amazon.com.au/GeoHN-G-Certi ... rce=1&th=1

Would be useful to connect my big screen TV in the other room to my gaming PC but without creating an electrical link between the two.
I wonder, do these "pure" fiber cables exist for DisplayPort as well or only HDMI?

do your vga support hdmi 2.1?Grasshopper85 wrote: β15 Jul 2025, 00:49I would like to use hdmi2.1 though because I have the zowie xl2586x+.

Hopefully show me the hdmi2.1 version, not dp1.4.
I can only find verg long length fibre optic cables, I can't find shorter ones.
No point using dp 2.1 cable on a dp 1.4 monitor. Hdmi 2.1 will have the least input lag over dp 1.4.

No grounding. I have a custom resolution of 640*480! I suspect that all digital monitors now have image smoothing at standard resolutions, and this processing will increase input lag.

I am using an HDMI cable that comes with the TV. I now find that the problem lies in the internal design of the monitor. Some monitors may not handle the DP and HDMI interfaces in the same way.

so, cable not helped you? Or you mean you feel changes with it on lower resolution?
