Is HDR and HDMI the same?
There is no such thing as an “HDR HDMI” cable or an “HDMI 2.0” cable. HDMI cables don’t have version numbers. The connections have version numbers. So your TV might be “HDMI 2.0a” (and indeed needs to be for HDR), but the cable you plug into it doesn’t have a number.
Is HDR better the HDMI?
A Premium High Speed HDMI cable (18 Gbps bandwidth) is highly recommended to ensure optimal transmission of 4K Ultra HD content in HDR (HDR10, HDR10+, HLG and Dolby Vision) with devices featuring controllers that conform to the HDMI 2.0 standard or higher (to support different HDR formats).
Is HDMI 2.1 the same as HDR?
HDMI 2.1 enables Dynamic HDR, but it also needs to be present in the content to work. Dolby Vision and HDR10+ already use dynamic metadata and can pass over existing HDMI connections.

Can HDMI 2.0 do HDR?
