Say if the stars align and somehow it gets an over voltage and fries up the cable. These use a more direct resistant plastic and shielding, it really doesn't matter but if you put these in your walls and they're not rated? Your insurance company will point fingers at this.
Why would anyone pay more for a cable they don't need and may not need for many years, which by that time a new spec cable is likely to come out? A lot of people are still fine with 1080p
EDIT - I missed that the title referred to in wall rated cables, in that case absolutely get the highest spec available if thats what theyre going to be used for.

Amateur question. How important is it that "in-wall rated" HDMI cables are used? They're low-voltage, so is there a lot of risk involved either way?

I used cl2 cables for mine because the tv is above the fireplace and the conduit tube runs right over it so it does get quite warm. Seemed worth it for the extra few bucks. Monoprice says their cl2 cables won't hold a flame. 🤷
Tell me why, in 2021, anyone would buy a 2.0 over a 2.1?
Even if someone has an old TV, HDMI cables will last for years, so why not future-proof?

In theory, you could get interference if they run alongside other electrical wire and they're very thin/poorly shielded. If you're referring to fire risk, it's very low, but code requires that CL2 cable be run for smoke hazard, not fire resistance. If you're running the HDMI and terminating the HDMI in the same room, the risk is essentially non-existent, and it's unlikely (assuming you're not building new) that anyone would ever check to make sure. If you're building new construction, it'll come up, so you're better off just running CL2 cabling so that an inspector doesn't give you a hard time.
They do... 4K video.
This cable will suffice to 98% of consumers for the next few years.
He's talking about the cables not being 2.1 compliant,.
Which means it cannot handle 4K 120Hz or higher.

I've built two home theaters in two different states, and neither time did an inspector pay any attention to my low voltage wiring.
