In short, you have found differences between 2 different HDMI cables. One does not even work and the other work.

definitely there are difference between 2 HDMI cable....

I did some research online and there are only 2 possibility that this would happen:

1. The voltage drop from 1 end to the other end is too great therefore is may have passed the tolerance of the projector (it may be digital but copper cable send the 0 and 1 using electrical pulse)

2. signal lost. too much missing data to the stage that the algorithm is not able to retrieve the missing 0 and 1.

well....sometimes if the algorithm replaces the missing 0 and 1 with the wrong code then there will be error in the picture like Andrewtst stated in the previous page.....

no there is no error correction scheme in the video stream, you will get garbage in garbage out

cable construction is the key to preserving the ones and zeros, such as proper shielding, tighter tolerance in the cable twist...

ohh...you are right.....found this

"Not in the way a network may ask for a 'lost' packet of data to be retransmitted - the receive end is simply decoding a live stream; lose some data on the way across the HDMI pipeline and its gone forever there is no time to resend the lost packet there is no data buffer in the Sync (Display, AV Amp etc).

Its pretty obvious when you start loosing data with signals travelling over an HDMI pipeline - you see the lost data as white or wrong coloured dots all over the video image.

There is active EQ in the Sync device to try and recover a 'bad' signal if your working with a Source and Sync that are HDMI 1.3 compliant - some 'Active' long length HDMI cables also utilising these 'recovery' options; but again there is no 'resend' option.

In the world of signals flowing over the HDMI pipeline engineers are constantly referring to the Eye Test diagram to ensure the signal is not collapsing below an allowable threshold."

Here we go again......

you should know better..its a never ending story....

You might be right on audio part.
I just wonder is that a noticeable different if there's bit error in audio? For video, most of the time we can see it.

It does not makes sense. If it affect audio, it will also affect video. Both or Non.

well ...its just my 2 cent because jitter is hardly noticeable in video but jitter can be heard very evidently in a good system....all digital equipments suffer from jitter....this includes HDMI cable.....

hdmi audio has error correction

Found this brand of HDMI cables selling in Tesco.
Anyone have comment/ experience in using them?

it is selling for RM25.90 for 1.8m length..

A few months ago, I bought another cap ayam from tesco also around rm20, so far so good, can play up to 1080p/stereo.
I don't have surround system, so i'm not sure how well it can cope with it.

helo..
sori if i interrupt ur conversation..
i hv some problem..
i was a ps3 hdmi user..
so, the prob is, when i used my cap ayam berjalan hdmi connect to my lg monitor e2341v.

it appear a flash of green+pink (1/2 second ) when the images change color from dark to contra colour... or it opposite..

when i sent to lg s.c.. they change the panel to the new one n so on..

after i play again, it appear the same problem..
the technician told me is about the cap ayam berjalan hdmi..
(p/s : i have also cap lembu hdmi, n used it, the problm still the same)

the Q to u all otai2 here.. do u agree with the technician anwser.? n if no y.?

Use your ps3 and the hdmi to connect to another display panel. If same problem, then you know what is the problem.

oledi try on my sony LED t.v..
don't hv any prob at all..
aiya..

the technician call me in the afternoon..
my Monitor will be hold for another 1 week. wawawaw..

How to determine normal HDMI cable(I mean below RM50 not 300++ 'monster' cable) or all HDMI good or bad? I am using a 'normal HDMI cable' hook between my LG mon to my GC show in my forum sign.

For 6 feets long or shorter, any cable will do, but if money is not a issue, just get a better cable. As simple as that.

I got free 1.5m HDMI cable come with media player, max video mode is 720p

change to tesco's RM9.90 3m technika brand HDMI, 1080p no problem

I suspect the failure of the first cable to carry higher speed data is because of insufficient number of wire pair twist inside the HDMI cable
