Explaining HDMI resolution and refresh rate
Resolution is how sharp the picture looks, 1080p is clear, 41K is ultra-sharp, and 8K is extremely detailed. Refresh rate (measured in Hz) is how smooth motion appears; 60Hz is standard, while 120Hz makes fast action and games look silky smooth.
TIP!
Some laptops or tablets won’t have a HDMI port, so you will have to purchase a
USB adapter to allow you to easily connect to a television or monitor!
