Simple question to which I've heard two answers "yes" and "no";

Does the "quality"/price of an HDMI cable matter? What can be gained by using say - a Monster Cable?

Thanks for the input..

No...
Plenty of threads discussing this question.

so i presume it would be better to pay 6.00 from solid source than 140.00 from a local B&M

certainly better for your wallet... ;)

i've often thought that there should be a banner at the top of every avs page that says...

"all hdmi cables are not the same, but if a cable 'works', buying a more expensive one will not give 'better' results. and at the length that the majority of people are using, generally speaking, the cheapest ones 'work'"...

Quality of the cable matters up to a point, but quality is NOT correlated with price.
