guys,
just sharing my experience.
When i first took delivery of my plasma a long long time ago ( in 2008 , that's long enough is digital innovation world lol) , I had to resort to a cheap ebay HDMI cable for like 40 bucks.
That went completely against my conscious since I've alwyas been onbaord the " cables makes a difference " wagon.
But what to do, after payin for that Pio plasma, completely cashless le....
The cable worked flawlessly and a few moons after that came in my HD gears ,a Pio reciever and Pana BDP35 . With the new toys I sourced a couple of high end monster cables and AQ HDMI-3 .
Being already satisfied with the PQ of the my TV , I was expecting to see and hear a substantial or at least some improvement when I swap out the ebay cables to the boutigue brand .
And the difference ....
Guess what...nothing ! Not a single difference in sound or PQ. To be honest I've not done an A-B side by side comparison , but just one plugged in and out after another. I just could not detect any difference. And I think this is true for almost any well build short length HDMI cables., proly within 5m.
p/s : But then, gotta agree the monster cable does look pretty and good enough to be a Hi-Fi ornament
So it's decorating the back of my gears now.
Quite true, Monster HDMI cables are indeed eye candies among others. I believe a lot of people are sucked into the whole packaging thing just sharing my experience.

Then again, the cables are not much of a show piece when people are trying to hide all their protruding cables from plain sight
