PowerA Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable Preview

To those gamers lucky enough to get their hands on a PS5 by now, congratulations. You’ve probably already fired up your new next-gen machine and are well into exploring some of the amazing game titles it has to offer. But you might want to put your DualSense controller down for one second. There’s still one important component you need to think about: connecting cables. The right connecting equipment is must if you want to get the most from your new PS5. And the PowerA Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable is made exclusively for the PS5. I’ve had the chance to check it out over the last few weeks, and I’ve definitely been impressed.

In visually stunning games, like God of War, it brings visuals a new pop and sparkle. You really notice this in close ups of faces. Kratos’s grumpy mug never looked better. And in cut-scenes with a lot of action, the cinematic polish really gets a new boost with the PowerA Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable’s heftier bandwidth capacity. It isn’t a night-and-day difference, but for games you’ve been playing a lot, you’ll see a bit of crisper look to your favorite titles.

Part of that also comes from the new Dynamic HDR supported by the PowerA Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable. Dynamic HDR is the next step in HDMI 2.1. While Static HDR (High Dynamic Range) was a leap forward from SDR (Standard Dynamic Range) in image quality, Dynamic HDR brings even more range in whites-to-blacks, and color palette. That means deeper blacks but also more realistic gradations in color schemes. Images look more realistic when displayed via the PowerA Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable.
