it is true dat there is no difference between cheappo HDMI vs expensive HDMI.

for me have tested on 42" LCD, RM 68 VS RM 30 cheapo hdmi

rm 30 will not sync the bluray subtitle 1080p and sometime got wave or blur, RM 68 is ok for movie playing HD 1080

connecting my ps3 with cheapo RM 30 HDMI, playing game like killzone 2, fifa 10, pes, i've got ghosting and blur a lot..
connect with RM 68 HDMI cable.. that ghosting still have.. but less then before.. for 0% ghosting / blur..

= monster cable is solution? tongue.gif don knew cuz never tried it yet..
at last play my ps3 @ 24" Dell only laugh.gif

Used HDMI cables and adapters since early 2007... never paid more than RM 20 for a standard length... that's 3 years ago, where rarity/high demand increased the prices

After I took delivery of my $500 Denon AKDL1 Cat-5 uber-cable, Al Gore was mysteriously drawn to my home, where he pronounced that Global Warming had been suspended in my vicinity.

Yes, I had perfect weather: no flooding, no tornadoes, the exact amount of rain necessary, and he pronounced sea levels exactly right and that they were not going to rise within five miles of my house.

Additionally, my cars began achieving 200 mpg and I didn't even need gasoline. I was able to put three grams of cat litter into the tank and drive forever.

What's more, the atmosphere inside my home became 93% oxygen and virtually no carbon dioxide. In fact, I now exhale oxygen.

One heck of a cable.

Didn't notice any improvement in audio quality though.

The $800 Apple iCable is clearly superior.


[sarcasm]awesome cable.......i must get 1 right now!!!!
guys, i'm bulking, who's wit me?[/sarcasm]
