free/cheap hdmi cables work great...don't need overpriced monster hdmi cables with all sorts of gimmicks and high markups for even online dealers

what these sellers have in abundance is the ability to spread FUD - Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt so that you will part with ur hard earned money for overpriced digital cables

lets not confuse analog cables and digital cables. just because a certain brand makes an analog cable that makes a measurable quality difference doesn't mean the same applies for digital cables.

if ppl have money to spend - upgrade ur equipment first, get more software (movies, songs, astro, watever) ... really hand itchy backside itchy, then go ahead, spend on overpriced digital cables, watever floats ur boat ...

sure, maybe the colour of the cable looks nice, there's a fancy logo there, its gold plated, platinum maybe, the "build quality" is better, the packaging is nicer, u can tell ppl "look i have XYZ cables", or u just feel proud of urself that ur equipment is using XYZ cables..afterall its ur money rite?

dun forget that ppl in haiti are having more serious issues to think about than whether to spend more on cables or not

for average consumers with less disposable income/spending power, this phrase always comes to mind "Too many people spend money they don't have, to buy things they don't want, to impress people they don't like."

in the mean time i'm gonna catch up on actually enjoying my movies and music..with my FOC hdmi cable

i'd rather risk my RM10 than 3-4 digits of my hard earned RM...try the Tesco ones first...at least if it really doesn't meet your expectations, you didn't lose so much...and you can still go get your fancy raksaksa cables
