Why so much of quarrel.

There are two types of data transfer format.
1) wired
2) wireless

Wired data transfer is always the best compared to wireless.
Wireless is the lowest reliability but still is in use for broadcasting, and now HD broadcasting.

Imagine how we received Astro B.yond signal, it is more than 2 HD signals were sent to Astro B.yond decoder (I'm not sure exact number of HD channels) through wireless communication. So why we need to spend for expensive HDMI cables, but we received signal from the lowest reliability communication form.

A cheapo HDMI cable is good enuf as long as it is working. Other than that, are all about marketing.

If we talk about technical/electrical technology. Yes, the expensive cable would have better specs. But we got to understand human limitation, how many colour or how many picture in second our brain can process.

Most of d time, these so-called new technology are useless or badly designed/implemented. Therefore, big companies/manufacturers are trying to create fuss to make their product stands out.

As a something to think about, before this there were 2 picture formats are known in common.
1) PAL 25fps
2) NTSC 29.997fps

recently 24fps. And now everybody wants to buy TV that has support of 24fps. Isn't it lower frame rate than the previous we had. But can we see the differences? (info:- most of people's brain can only process up to 16fps)
But why is the 24fps is a fuss right now? I'll let you guys think about it.....
(it is about technology limitation)
