The new and improved HDMI 2.1 cables (backward compatible) are capable of 48Gbps, not discounted. The AudioQuest Pearl is the least expensive 48Gbps cable HDMI cable. Notice that it’s listed under the full retail price. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/audioquest-pearl-5-4k-8k-10k-48gbps-in-wall-hdmi-cable-black-white/6428744.p?skuId=6428744 https://hdmi.org/spec21sub/ultrahighspeedcable

HDMI is finally catching up to DisplayPort's refresh rate capabilities. Even though HDMI 2.1 is new and few displays support its new features, I would purchase the HDMI 2.1 cable to reduce the system bottlenecks to the source and monitor/TV.
