People already said the signal for digital is 0 or 1.  So, not matter what make the HDMI cable, you still received 0 or 1 signal.  You think better quality HDMI can produced 0 or 1 in this form: 0 or 1laugh.gif

So, do you think if machine received better looking 1 or 0  tongue.gif , your picture and audio qualities will be better?  rclxub.gif

Conclusion, if your HDMI cable can received 0 or 1 signal (mean it is good HDMI cable) or can't received 0 or 1 signal (mean this is defect HDMI cable). That's all, case closed.  whistling.gif

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 ....

even for the those analog speaker cables you can just buy normal wires to replace them.... it makes very little different (almost unnoticeable by untrained ears) instead of gold coated super expansive cable.

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.

there is no difference for cheap an expensive HDMI cables...provided u go REALLY LONG. You'll see artifacts and distortion if ur cable is broken. It either works or it don't. I have a 12foot HDMI cheap cable from my PC to LCD TV. Works perfectly.

yes... when you go really looooooooooooooooooong... the resistance in the cable matters.
