No, I think he wanted you to post the same question in the 929 thread. But. I'm guessing nobody has asked that question in the 150+ pages of the thread since HDMI cables and TV stands aren't "brand specific."
One HDMI cable is as good as another, as long as it is classified as high speed. You don't need to spend a lot of money on HDMI cables, no matter what the electronics salesfolks tell you.
As for the stand, that seems to me to be a personal choice, so look at a bunch of them or do a Google search if you choose to buy on-line.

I quoted that for emphasis.
It's 100% true. No matter who tells you otherwise. If you see the picture without sparklies, dropouts, etc. and there are no audio glitches, your cables are fine. That's why many of us buy from Monoprice for pennies on the dollar vs. what retailers charge.

As Boiler Jim said there's nothing about that set that requires a particular stand or cables. You may have been told by an ambitious store associate that because of it's 3D capability or some other advanced feature you need to purchase some exotic cables and this just isn't the case--I've sold any number of relatively high-end sets and the cheapest cables in our store work just fine.
About the only technical concern as far as stands go is whether or not it will support the weight of the set. The modern LED flat panel set is so light that this really need not be a factor. The typical 32" Sony trinitron crt set probably weighs twice what a 929 does. A stand can pretty much safely be selected on the basis of appealing style and price.

I appreciate the responses here so far. I was debating between these or the AudioQuest Forrest hdmi cables. For the monoprice cables, they have a few different varieties. Should I opt for the 24AWG or 28AWG CL2 High Speed in the premium line instead of the ferrite core line?
