Guys,

For BDP routing to AVR, HDMI v1.3 is a must to bitstream the True Audio. What about AVR to HDTV which carries video signal, do we still need v1.3 or simply ordinary HDMI will do...??

From all these debates, I think the most important part is we would like to know how a premium hdmi cable can brings improvement to our system. This is the main objective of creating this thread, be it Monster, Van Den Hul, Audioquest etc... Like jchong says, we want to know the end-result and also prepare to upgrade to those branded cables if prove otherwise. Afterall, we are a bunch of AV enthusiasts who only care for our system improvement. I believe we are not here to bash a particular seller. I have bought Monster S-video from Digitech & truly it brings better performance than a chap ayam brand. But now we are talking about digital hdmi cable, a normal person or IT expert would says indifference! But, we are willing to change our perception & upgrade if test proves it. smile.gif

I have had great experiences with generic cables.
All the cables that came with the media playerseg Dune, Yangxi HDPro, and a really cheap RMVB player.
Also cables that came with the PS3, Panasonic Plasma TV and one I bought from a computer shop.
The longest one at 45 feet, is from Monoprice, size is 24AWG and it works right away with my projector.
So long as the connectors are ok and the wires are not crimped, I believe the 101010...signal will get through.
However, if a branded HDMI will give me greater resolution, color depth and clarity with a deeper and wider soundstage, I am willing to try it.

Just making sure your HDMI does support for deep colors. I think I am advised to discard the HDMI cable that come with older Dune models as it does not support Deep Color.

im new to hdtv.....can a normal hdmi (cap ayam) cable be use for 3d hdtv? I just saw a hdmi cable specially design for 3d tv. Except for price is there any difference between the both? I want to connect my ps3, bluray & astro.

If you want to watch 3D movies, you have to get HDMI V1.4 and anything less will not work for 3D.

Other than that, any hdmi will work for your astro, PS3 & bluray. nod.gif

My experience show that my cap ayam 3m length V1.3 HDMI cable bought 2 years ago supporting 3D. Using Sony KDL-55EX720 and BDP-S485. smile.gif

Are you sure? Have you watched any 3D materials using the 1.3 cable?
