Well, wish to ask all Pros here about HDMI Cable

I want to use it on Projector Home Theatre System. Length est 5-10 Metre Long HDMI CABLE

Some ppl says : Cable too Long would have Signal Loss, so they ask me to Choose Branded High speed Cable Like Monster Cable EtC , Price 1000-1500

Some ppl say : no need to buy branded as all the same, No mather how long is ur length . Price - 100-200 ONLY

So er , Should i get Better Branded HDMI Cable , or just NORMAL Cheap Cable ? Ps : my Length - 5-10 m

Thanks you ^^

i dont know about the cable , but i know thank you is without the s behind the thank you can say thanks to you though

10m cable is not long.

No, don't go the branded route.

It is true that too long a cable will result in signal loss. But 5-10 meters is still within the range of standard 28 AWG thickness HDMI cables. The cable will tell you what its AWG number is on its jacket or packaging.
Not all un-branded are the same either. But it doesn't mean that you should pay RM100 premium just for the brand.

Buy unbranded. Measure EXACTLY how much length do you need to avoid paying for more when just 5 meters is enough. If it's exactly 5 meters, buy 6 meters or the closest to it; the extra 1 meter is there just in case your placement changes.

If the length comes closer to 10 meters, try to find 24 AWG cables. 28 AWG may still work but 24 AWG is just for added safety. 24 AWG is a thicker cable so it is heavier.

Finally buy a HIGH SPEED HDMI cable if you can find it. New packaging may state this fact. This is in case you want to upgrade to a 3D projector which requires a high speed HDMI cable. IF you can't find one, then don't worry about it. Use what you got.

For a projector, 10m is not long. It already equipped with internal equalization circuit.
28awg or 24awg high speed hdmi1.3 cable.

why don't you go to some shop, ask for the cheap one and good one.
then ask the seller, if the cheap doesn't work, can return back and get the good one.

Go for Monster Cable...sure guarantee can work one

blue jeans and monoprice got good quality and reasonably priced HDMI cable

thanks for all da info
wish to ask , how to define whether it is 24 AWG or 28 AWG cable ?

Just bought a RM90 10m HDMI cable, works like a champ.

Give the recommended shop and brand/model...sounds good to some ppl....are you using it with a Bluray player?

Best recommendation so far

Couldn't agree more. The monoprice cables are built like a tank. I'm using their 12 meter cable for my PJ.
Believe me, dont waste your time and money with Monster. I learnt it the hard way
