ok so everyone know a high doller high quality cable makes for a better video and sound. but when it comes to HDMI this know longer applies and i want people to do some research and make a full fact and fiction forum regarding hdmi cables.
a $100 5ft cable is better then a $20 5ft cable false HDMI is full digital all of its info is sent in 0's and 1's so theres know need for shielding, twistin and large copper wires. because a digital signal cant get interference like a analog cable can, the signal either makes it or it doesn't. so if you have a cheep cable and it is sending 1080p to your tv and your tv is displaying it then thats as good as it gets. A better more expensive cable will not look and better. analog cables need to have shielding and big copper and gold plated terminals to produce a good signal but when it comes to HDMI this is all mostly bogus and unnecessary, its there to raise the price when it a HDMI cable. there is one factor whut i mention above that isn't fully true, and that is when your using a long HDMI cable longer than 5 meters a high dollar cable is sometimes needed to send the signal long distances (5meters and longer) but most wont need that long of a hdmi cable. most all cables under 5 feet can and will display full 1080p if there HDMI branded meaning the HDMI tm is printed on the cable. This means the cable was inspected by a HDMI facility and is verified to work. some cheepo Ebay cables are not certified and may not work.
This is just a starter if anyone has more true or untrue things to state about HDMI cables please do so. i fined it funny that one of the more simple cables to produce is also the most expensive. lol.
DON'T BE FOOLED BY GIMICS SUCH AS GOLD PLATING, TWISTED CABLES, AND SHIELDING, WHEN IT COMES TO HDMI GET THE CHEEP CABLE IF IT DOESN'T WORK RETURN IT AND GET THE NEXT STEP UP BUT 9 TIMES OUT OF 10 THE CHEEP $15 3FT HDMI CABLE WILL WORK JUST FINE.
