By the time you need the extra bandwidth of the 48G cables (many, many years in the future), they'll be as cheap as cheap cables are now. Should you spend extra on 48G cables so you're "futureproof"? I don't see any reason why you should. Let's say you've determined you do need new HDMI cables. But just because you're buying new gear or because there's a new HDMI standard that doesn't necessarily mean you must upgrade. If you're having trouble, then maybe it's worth considering an upgrade.
Keep in mind, for most people cheap HDMI cables are fine.

Which is to say, if you set your Ultra HD Blu-ray player to send 4K, and it flickers for a moment, then your TV shows 1080p, that might be because your cable can't handle enough of the signal for it to work.

So if you have a 15ft/3m cable that worked fine with all your 1080p gear, it might not work with 4K HDR. Also, it's hard to send really high resolutions and frame rates over long distances. "High Speed" HDMI cables are designed to handle 4K resolutions, but not necessarily higher data versions like 4K HDR, or in the case of computers, higher frame rates. Or you can spend a little more and get a Premium Certified HDMI cable, which should definitely work. A different, but still cheap, HDMI cable should do the trick. On the other hand, if you've bought a new TV and it won't show the 4K or HDR content you send it, the cable might not be able to handle it. A new cheap HDMI cable is at best a cheap fix, and at worst a cheap indicator that the problem is something else. If none of your gear has changed, it might be a different problem, but maybe the HDMI cable is getting worn out (likely if you plug and unplug all the time, or the cable is on the floor and gets trodden on). If the image on your TV is cutting out randomly (or isn't showing up at all), this might be a cable issue. When the 48G cables come out, they're worth considering but only after there's a TV that can handle the higher 4K frame aling with a TV image that blinks, flashes or otherwise cuts out: Probably Non-certified cables might work, but it's less likely. If you've got a beefy computer and want to connect to a UHD TV, it's probably worth it to get a Premium Certified cable. Computers can send the maximum resolution and frame rate possible in the current HDMI spec, and are the only source that can do any of the resolutions in the upcoming HDMI 2.1 spec (and then only barely). This is really the main situation where you might want new cables. Check all your other settings nnecting a computer to a TV and running 4K resolutions: Maybe If you can't get your TV to display HDR, even though you're sure your source and content are HDR, the cable might be the problem. Even if they worked fine with regular 4K, HDR is additional data and that might be too much.
If your HDMI cables are just a few feet long, they'll probably work just fine.

The top-of-the-line media streamers, UHD BD players, and the latest versions of both consoles ( PS4 Pro and Xbox One S), can output 4K HDR. buying a new 4K streamer, UHD BD player or console (with HDR): Probably not If you plan on also buying an Ultra HD source, like a Roku Premiere+ or an Ultra HD Blu-ray player, chances are your current cables will also work with those. If you're buying a new 4K TV, and your current sources work with your current TV, they'll probably work with the new TV too. Do you need new cables if you're.buying a new TV: Probably not There are a few extreme cases in which you might want one of these new 48G cables, but for most people you won't have to worry about it this year and probably not next year either.
