thing is if you are using cap ayam (digital interconnect, or HDMI) cable and it works for you don't have to gatal2 go and try expensive cable. Because you might hear or see a difference and that could make you dissatisfied

fun_feng,
can you then relate this theory to a transfer of a say, Excel file. No matter what type of USB cable u use to transfer from a HDD to another HDD, the content of the excel file will always be the same. how is this different from HDMI that carries video/audio signal in digital too? |

QUOTE(fun_feng @ Nov 5 2009, 03:40 PM) Firstly each pixel has 32 bits (0,1), so a FULL HD 1080p is 2 million x 32 bits = 64mil bits. The colour bits are a bit more complicated than that with the sub pixel yet to be talked about. But your explanation shd be enuf for most to get the jist.Assume a 60Hz refresh rate which means 60x64 mil bits = 3.84Gbps + additional bits for CRC, audio and god knows what... is well within the range of HDMI 1.3 (10.2 Gbps) YOu must understand 0 or 1 is not ON or OFF this simple in this case. These 32 bits represent a coding that the TV understand so that it will project a color to the pixel. Then you must also understand something call CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check). These bits transmit throught the cable in "packets". Any corrupted bits in the packets gets detected by the CRC algorithm which the TV calculates. Now the TV know that the packet for this particular pixel is spoilt, the TV will most probably display a default color for it, white if i am not wrong. You are correct you will still get a picture, but not getting the FULL picture. But if a few thousands pixels are corrupted, most probably your picture will have white patches on it. You will not get clearer picture, red is redder, sky is bluer etcc.... Anyway, the probabllity of getting corrupted bits is probably 0.0001%.  However, moomoos sees something different. Let's leave it at that. I for one have not seen differences and the measurement equipment I have also does not show anything different. However, picture noise and sharpness are pretty subjective and cannot be measured. Maybe the next time I'm in Ipoh I can take a look and see it on his screen. |

So if the bits get screwed up, your red apple might be blue in color. But of course, we have come a long way in visual display, these things doesn't happened. The TV will detect the error and attempts to correct it. If it fails, then it display a white color. Again let me assure you, these corruptions is vy rare, otherwise it will not be an industry standard |

QUOTE(Johannbeckham @ Nov 5 2009, 03:33 PM) so you mean there is no difference if I use DisplayPort Cable compare to HDMI cable for my current set-up(CPU with graphic card having HDMI, DisplayPort and optical sound connection and display the video in DELL 2408WFP. My speaker for now is 2.1 speaker with optical sound connection)? Is there no advantage of HDMI cable over DisplayPort cable if I have the same port on my CPU? Guys, follow-up on my question about. Is there a big difference between DisplayPort Cable and HDMI cable? Coz I only have display port cable as of now (bundled when I buy DELL 2408WFP). What is the advantage if I use HDMI cable instead of DisplayPort cable |

They are competing technologies. Display Port shd be fine. |

Ok...then no need to buy Monster HDMI cable lah...Coz my friend suggested me to buy. If there's no difference, there's no need to buy. Thanks anfieldude! |

Thanks anfieldude! yes you could be correct, the differences is almost negligible, depending on your setup, 32" 40" 46" 52'well mine is just different as i'm using 50" 3LCD Single gun projection TV ( well maybe old technology) and maybe on a true 1080i or full HD 1080p the difference is +/- 0.0001 to the human eye Added on November 5, 2009, 6:13 pmyou can try spiderman 3 on the sandman scene, if there are no differences just sapu the cheaper cable oh sorry wrong reply This post has been edited by moomoos: Nov 5 2009, 06:39 PM |

Well, seems a lot of you is very good in theory. but you guys are missing something. Its true a digital signal is either ON or OFF. But in real life, the signal is more like analog (sine wave) due to resistance or others
no need to buy expensive cable. my company is developing alternative to HDMI using optical. Will save you a lot of buck next year. |

there is no diff with RM30 HDMI cable or RM300 Monster HDMI cable...
the only diff is your setup.... who ever say the can hear a diff must have a DOG's hearing ( can hear <20Hz) or a total bullshit... HDMI carries digital signal, not analog signal which require ADC, thus a 'high end' cable will make a diff for analog signals... |

So you can imagine something like fiber optic (but its not). small only unlike copper. hope it will be ready by next year  |
