HDMI cables are 19 pin cables, audio and video travel seperately so that there is very very little interference from each other. I have to teach people about this shit every day and the only real difference is if you start getting into the high top-end lines of TV equipment other than that the only real difference between a £200 cable and a £20 cable is £180!....Sorry to all those out there that got ripped off by being gullable when you went to Best Buy in the US or Curry's Comet or Dixon's in the UK.

I got suckered into wasting $100 on a HDMI cable when I purchased my TV about a year or two ago.

I thought I was special getting the PLATINUM edition for a discounted value...WRONG!!

Best Buy is bad for duping customers into getting top of the line stuff when 3rd party names do just the same, if not better.

I have MONSTER HDMI cables, but we have here where I live a liquidator that sells Best Buy/ Future Shop returns/open items.

I got my cables for 5 bucks each, so $15.00 as I have 3 HDTV's.

It all depends on how good quality you really want to have, and what setup you are currently having. Theres a good rule saying that - spend 10% of what your total setup cost you on cables. Then there is no doubt you'll have a great setup and no loss of quality anywhere!

Have fun!
