What results from using a broken cable with display hardware?

Using a broken cable with display hardware typically leads to display distortion. When a cable is damaged or broken, it can disrupt the transmission of digital or analog signals between the source device (like a computer or video player) and the display. This disruption can manifest in various ways, including flickering images, color misrepresentation, partial image display, or complete loss of signal. The integrity of the cable is crucial for maintaining clear and accurate display quality, so any physical damage can significantly impair performance.

In contrast, options that suggest improvements in image clarity or signal quality do not hold true in the context of a broken cable. Rather than enhancing visual performance, a damaged cable inevitably results in complications that degrade the viewing experience.
