Before this information disclosed, everybody believes that all HDMI are the same, it's either you get signal or not.

When you know the info from HDMI.org (the inventor of HDMI), you believe there's difference between HDMI, that is Standard speed and High Speed.

There's nothing wrong using a cheapo, standard HDMI cable. It's just that you can't achieve 1080p signal with that cable and obviously the quality and build of the cable is not that great.

Don't forget about interference signals if the cable build is not good. There's a lot of signal interference at the back of your TV.

Think about it, you invest in thousands in your LCD/Plasma TV and thousands in av receivers and speakers and invest only RM10 in HDMI cable.

The most unjustifiable is that PS3 gamers use cheapo HDMI cables for your PS3 console.

They buy PS3 is to play HD 1080p games, but only invest in cheap HDMI cables because of mislead information.
They are not getting the full potential of their PS3.

PS3 produce 1080p resolution games. If you uses standard speed HDMI cable, you can only see 720p or 1080i resolutions.

Standard speed HDMI cable cannot cope with the high bandwidth coming from your PS3 to your TV to achieve 1080p.

earlier you mentioned cheapo HDMI cables

now you mention Standard speed HDMI cable

are you implying that cheapo HDMI cables = standard speed HDMI cables? gee, i guess that PS3 gamers must now be filled with Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt about their cheapo HDMI cables that the only way that can relieve themselves is to rush out and spend RM230 on MonsterĀ® Gamelinkā„¢ HDMI Cable that is Engineered for the PS3 to enjoy gaming full 1080p glory. cos maybe when their TV is playing tricks on them when it says 1080p on the info, or it just isn't 1080p even though it says it is.

the only way to be sure and MOST JUSTIFIABLE is to buy and use Monster. MONSTER cable!!! rclxm9.gif

No matter what kind of test you guys have, there will not be an ultimate decision, as it will still arguments on many things like equipment used, lightings, tv panel used, ear canals too much wax, eyes very tired, etc.

You will not get everybody to agree on 1 thing. Some see it, some don't.

If there are so many caveats to the to how much difference a person can see between the cables, then it is even more a reason why we don't need to waste our hard earned RM on overpriced cables.

simply put, if i was to pay such amounts for expensive HDMI cables, i should be able to see/hear the differences even if my ear canals are full of wax or my eyes are tired. afterall, thats why i pay more right?

but to chicken out with so many "disclaimers" and "assumptions" about what people may say, that shows a clear lack of confidence in your own products. So from making bold statements like "unjustifiable to use cheapo cables with PS3", now we get meek excuses like "lighting, tv panels, etc etc".

as far as i know, tests definitely have more than one person, with various opinions. thats why reviews often quote the various opinions from the attendees, and then allow the reader to make their own conclusions.

maybe DigitalTech should ask the product development team in Monster to start making Monster performance SATA cables, IDE cables, USB cables, DVI cables, Telephone cables etc. That would be fitting of a reputable cable company. doh.gif
