for short cable run, pretty much any brand HDMI cable can be used without any problem

but for longer run cable, get the one with category 2 speed certified cable

now a day most thing are made in china

the main point is to get good quality cable

cheap/free cable can be good in quality, it can also be bad in quality

the quality issue also applied to expensive cable as well

hi all, how do u tell if the cable is 1.3a , 1.3b & etc certified ? especially for non- branded hdmi, THX

you can't tell from the cables itself whether they are speed certified or not

but monoprice stated in their website that some of their hdmi cable are Certified to Category 2

buy from lyn members, search in garage sales, and have it courier to your door step brows.gif

but why do you need extra cable? hdmi cable usually included free of charge when you buy tv or monitor

tesco RM10 hdmi cable does not indicate on cable whether it is speed rated or HDMI certified, but it does have UL E-code E213967 (go check your self, plug the e-number into UL file number field http://database.ul.com/cgi-bin/XYV/templat...FRAME/index.htm ) , which only indicate who supply the cable, it is actually from :

Just like comparing FungKeong/Bata/Adidas/Reebok/Gucci footgear;
after 1Km they all feel the same.
Branded HDMI show diff unless you have a 60in or larger display but then
only minimal. Better spend the diff on more software lo.....my 2 sens worth.

what differences can you see in 60"? hmm.gif

Better don't use that. Find powered HDMI splitter with repeater, make sure it support HDCP. You can get it local such as this.

pretty good price for HDMI splitter thumbup.gif

The big black one you can buy at Jalan Pasar for RM45. The red one is only RM5. Why would u pay more than RM150??? 

And also I tested and compare both, the thick cable ones have better picture. Can notice the difference

are you sure you can buy monoprice HDMI cable at jalan pasar? 6m cable at RM45 only? shocking.gif
