My rm30 HDMI cable seems to be giving prob when connected to my ps3...previously no prob at all..now suddenly the pic has interference.....

I suppose in a very general sense what you say is correct. A lot of people say digital is digital, it is either received or not received. But if you look at the details there are still some slight differences but which I don't fully understand. Have a look at this article: http://www.audioholics.com/education/cable...ble-bench-tests - in particular read about the test equipment and the eye pattern.

Another theory of mine, yes bits are either 0 or 1. But a signal isn't just 1 bit, it's not a case of cannot receive a 0 or 1 signal = complete failure. In one second megabits of signal is passed through the cable, what if the cable is not capable of transmitting all the bits perfectly? What if only 99.9998% are ok and the 0.0002% is not received? How does this affect the audio/video?

there are many company that sell overprice cable, but monster is just being a a**hole with their legal action and over agressively pushing their product.

I wonder if people who said different cables doesn't make a difference actually did try or they just simply pickup what others have said or written

wah.. char own self? 

any USD9.99 good deal blu-rays today? 

Only for those people they don afford to buy...then they like to mention "no difference".
in fact some of them never tried themselves. It just sounds once u not able to get something, then u will give negative feedback on that to comfort urself.

wow after 38pages of discussion many still dunno 101010! :

its up to consumers , if they willing to spend more on HDMI cable , then its okey .. for self satisfaction

even buy cheap HDMI also make sellers feel satisfied , can get more profit then expensive hdmi , plus easy to sell like hot cakes , lol
