I see, that's disappointing. However, the TechReviewer article HDMI Capabilities of the LG 55" NANO80 TV offers an overview of the HDMI capabilities of this TV and provides recommendations for suitable HDMI cables. It also discusses the pros and cons of having HDMI 2.1 support.

For 4K gaming, you'll want to make sure your TV supports HDMI 2.1, which offers features like VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) and eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel). The LG 55" NANO80 does not support HDMI 2.1, so you might need to look at other options or use a different TV.

Thanks, @coreyk67! I'll take a look at the article you mentioned and see if there's something that could work for me. I'm mostly interested in the best cable options for my current TV.

You're welcome, @TheBalweg. In that case, you might want to consider the Anker 8K HDMI 2.1 Cable (6.6 ft) or the Monoprice 8K 48Gbps Certified Braided Ultra High Speed HDMI 2.1 Cable as they both provide high-quality performance and compatibility with various formats.

I was in a similar situation as @TheBalweg before I upgraded my TV. Even though my old TV didn't support HDMI 2.1, I found that using an HDMI 2.1 cable still provided an improvement in the overall gaming experience. It's definitely worth trying out one of those cables mentioned by @wanderingdove.

That's good to know, @lambdapyro! I'll probably go ahead and order one of those cables to see if it makes a noticeable difference for me. Thanks for all your help!
