Re: replacing wall tv cables

Hello @mbaldwin469 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us and thanks for sharing your question about your cables.

 

Would it be possible for you to post a photo where the cables are coming in/out of the wall? This will give our members a better idea of your set-up. We can then make recommendations on how to proceed.

 

Although your old cable might work you won't get the full 4K experience as you need a 4k compatible cable. For that matter you need a 4k capable television to go with it. Otherwise, you probably won't see the difference. 

 

If you need a hand posting the photos, please let me know.

 

Eric
