vga is analog maybe got subtle difference at longer cable lengths. But then not many buy branded vga anyway. As for dvi-d thats digital.

anyone using monster cable m1000hd? which can support >15.9Gbps de..
im using on lcd fullhd 32' .. damn nice...haha

maybe you can let me know what video source you using can go up to 15Gbps? may consider getting this ultra high bitrate player and the M1000 cable to connect it...since so high Video quality bitrate.. biggrin.gif

Not never read bro. How can people afford the platinum HDMI as stated. Its very very expensive. So the most affordable cable wud the gold plated. The improvement is gold is one of the best conductor and can transfer signal with very very minimal lost compare to silver.

dun joke la.. silver has the best conductivity... high end Hi-fi use Silver wires in their circuits...

silver will form silver oxide in open air environment, not suitable for electrical contact, gold is the best

we were talking about electrical conductivity of material... which the person was comparing and saying gold is better than silver.. which is wrong..

besides no one still have proven gold plating in electrical contact over regular tin plated contacts will improve the video quality via HDMI cable in a factual manner....

error correction will kick in to recover  inverted bits until it is too much to handle, then everything shut down, you will get black screen with HDCP protection meaasge tongue.gif

unfortunately HDMI no error correction.. biggrin.gif so there will be missing bits of information if used not so good cables.. (but we shouldn't confuse not so good cables with price, as freebie cables can just be as good as those RM200 cables..)

the question is why people think missing bits from HDMI transmission equate to softer picture or less "NICE" colors?? hmm.gif don't they understand digital/analog differences? laugh.gif

is it true that Monster cable provide lifetime warranty with lifetime upgrade?
eg: if i buy monster hdmi cable v1.0,  when 1.3 released, i get free upgrade to 1.3, then free upgrade to 1.4...1.5...1.6?
*
I think in AVS forum mention before, it only applies to certain range of cable.. maybe top range monster?

anyway can always ask your local LYN forumer which sells it.. biggrin.gif can upgrade free or not to V1.4 biggrin.gif

seriously if can see difference, then there will be lots of review sites posting photos of TV or projector image quality of A vs B cables.. as photos can capture what you can see with your eye..

so far none.. how come?? how come monster cable dun show this?

digital signals are weak. if the cable quality is really bad, it will change to 1 to 0 or 0 to 1 making the video/audio slightly distorted... but... it is the worst case scenario... usually the cable don't really matter much since the cable is not long ....
can you tell me if the 1 change to 0 or the 0 change to 1, do you think it will make the image slightly softer or less colorful less sharp?
or do you think it'll just black out no video or flashes of green/ purple sparks on the TV screen etc?

It is very unlikely that a large group of data is being corrupted during the transfer, usually happens when the cable became really old or rusty where the electric signal need to go thru high resistance wires. A new HDMI cable (even the cheapest one) shouldn't give you any visible flaws. Finding flaws with HDMI is like searching for a needle in a haystack (unless you're crazy enough to buy a monster cable just to compare the barely visible flaws). Further more even a monster cable cant guarantee that the video will be error free... maybe just 0.1% better.
It is all over the internet... i cant remember exactly where i read the info... since i'm from computer science  background... thats  common sense to me...

I was trying to explain when there is error, the problem will be distinct visible error shown on the TV end on the screen.. due to digital nature of the cable, unlike Analog cables..
