not true some HDMI cables pass signal faster then others. also some cables only support up to 1080i were others support 1080p. some cables support deep color and x.v.color. not all cables are created equal!

#1) DO NOT buy Monster HDMI cables... Can you say SCAM??
#2) Any HDMI cable that is Category 2 rated can pass a signal up to 1600p... obviously good enough for quite a few years. Almost all HDMI cables are category 2... even the $10 cables that you can get off the internet.
#3) The cable is passing digital information... 1's and 0's. Until you use a cable that is 35+ feet in length, you will not have any signal degredation. Analog signals lose quality after about 18.5 ft. I have a degree in audio engineering, so you can trust what I say...
I am a Best Buy employee and I won't lie to you. Brand names mean absolutely nothing when it comes to HDMI cables. I use the cheap Dynex cable that is sold at Best Buy and it works just as well as a $100 Monster cable. Don't waste your money!!!
