why the hell in the world you want to buy this overpriced piece of crap? laugh.gif

there's no difference in performance if you compare the few hundred ringgit Monster HDMI cable with the 15 ringgit Jalan Pasar HDMI cable

Just go ask around in the AV forum, or any AV kaki, they'll tell you the same wink.gif

unless you're looking for longer than 3 meters HDMI cable, only then you really need to get a good one.

It depends on what type of material they use.. Cheap pasar malam HDMI cable use 80% steel and 20% copper. Expensive one use 100% copper or more expensive are using gold.And their alignment and accuracy of the connector is 100% precisely, got to ask few electrical shop or hifi shop and they will show you whats the different. The transmitting rate is different,more bandwidth,more better signal quality being transmit..
this only applicable to analogue cables, which is commonly used as the interconnects for the speakers, because analogue signals are prone to losing the fidelity when transmitted through different type of materials, hence losing the original quality, also it's prone to interference, hence a good insulation coating is important to isolate the interference.

BUT for digital, it's transmit only 1s and 0s, which is same like transmitting data between the computers, either it's success transmit, or failed, if failed, just re-transfer, and the strings of 1s & 0s still remain the same after transfer, unlike analogue, which the curve will have some changes.

and those electrical shops tells you branded HDMI is better? they just want your money tongue.gif
Hifi shop also claimed such thing? avoid that shop also, it's a black shop, none of the Hifi shop i frequent dare to claim or show me branded expensive HDMI cable are better than the cheap one. wink.gif

720p already better than 1080i laugh.gif
and there's almost next to none games that runs 1080p natively on xbox360

Cheap cables 1 and 0, Monster Cable got 6 speed transmission, and reverse gear too, so it's 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and R dry.gif

don't forget it's turbo charged too!
it's even equipped with a flux capacitor!! shocking.gif

Really? How come Mercedes and proton maintain on 100km/h but Mercedes distance are more further than Proton?
Wrong! Proton can get more further than Mercedes bcos Proton is more fuel efficient!

Cat6 had more twists is true but you forget thing that without the separator, you still get Cat5e performance. Cat6 have separator to separate 4 pair of cable and minimize the crosstalk.. Cat5e doesnt have the separator thats why crosstalk occurred and cause interference between the cable pair.  And the Cat6 copper thickness more than Cat5e.  cool2.gif

Cat5e or Cat6, you still can get the same speed of 1Gbps if both are in the same infra of same distance say 50M.
PC ===== 1Gb Switch with Cat5e
PC ===== 1GB Switch with Cat6

BOTH get the same speed of 1Gbps!! No difference!
Same with HDMI! doh.gif

As long as the cable conform with the same HDMI standard/version, it will be the same! RM15 china brand or RM250 raksasa brand
