Your HDMI cable has an expiration date

Nothing lasts forever, and even if something doesn’t break, it doesn’t mean it hasn’t expired. HDMI cables aren’t immune to this fate, and I would guess that quite a few people out there don’t even know that the cable they’re using is long past its expiration date. Sure, you can still keep it plugged into your TV, but you might not realize you’re leaving a lot of performance on the table by using an older cable with your modern devices.
