Thanks for reply.

so what is in between cap ayam and branded HDMI?

Can we find a mid price brand HDMI at this moment?

saw HDMI cable 5M, 12M and 1M at Aeon Bkt Tinggi. Price still slightly above LPS. THE 12M is selling at RM179.

My situation is like this, i just bought a new HDMI Dvd player (Toshiba) and it came with free hdmi cable (cheap one), when i try to play movie (Dvd9) with my lcd tv (Sony Bravia) using both 1080i and 720P, i quite disappointed with the picture quality (distortion and a bit blur).
But then i changed the cable to Composite S-Video Cable (Yellow, red, white) instead of Hdmi cable, walla the picture quality is quite good now, without distortion and more sharpness compare when using with the cheap hdmi cable. How in the hell the old generation cable like composite cable can produce better picture quality than hdmi cable. It just make no sense to me, but then i think the cause maybe from the cheap hdmi cable that came free with my dvd player.

After this i think i want to try use it with the expensive hdmi cable like monster or gold plated hdmi cable. Is it true picture quality can be better if i use the gold plated one?

It's damn hard to find a HDMI cable longer than 6m over here... I'm thinking of going online to source for 10~15m HDMI cable, any recommendation?

kiasunkiasi, pls refer to my previous post (#104) for long HDMI cable

LPS is a good choice

I bought one from them last week. The last piece. LOL

HDMI cable is best within 5m.

Not really. It depends on the build quality. Nowadays, very rare to have signal loss for a 10M length.

got a Philips gold series HDMI 1.5m(RM179) and a Audioquest 2M(RM289) for PS3 and DVD player but dont see any difference, but better than my in box HDMI, so better HDMI cable does make a difference but no need for high price ones.

Generic brands is fine if less than 5m but if you need 20m, must be HDMI v1.3 ready, then you'll need to look at HDMI cables from Supra, Audioquest, Monster Cable, etc.

Bro,you need to do some adjustment on yr Sony lcd tv and Toshiba HDMI dvd player.Likewise i was tested Pioneer DV696AV HDMI Dvd player at the shop.But before this,i was previously own Pioneer DV655A and tested with Sharp lcd tv.At 1st i hook up my DV655A with component cbl then switch to progresive scan and i notice there are still noise at background of the pics which i was also dissapointed.Then later i brought the same disc(Transformer,D9) to the shop to test Pioneer DV696AV with HDMI connection with Sharp lcd tv,then i was also shock observe there are still noise at background pics.And then the shop fellow did some adjustment on DV696AV setting,then WOW!!.The pics quality are really superb,even also with component connection but i notice that with component cbl hook up are more brighter and HDMI connection are darker which we're totally different between analog and digital connection.My suggestion is you may need to adjust both to get best pics quality.Hope this will help you.

What an unfortunate name you have, if your nick is your actual name.

Wow...trasnformer D9 disc at demo? mean not original & those "self made/compress" movie to compare ?

Good luck

It's best to use an original disc to test when going for a demo unless you wanna test whether the Pioneer can play pasar malam dvds.

Hi there,

Just needed some advice, just purchased a BENQ 512st projector for movie viewing for my hse. This projector comes with a HDMI output and the length of cable required to attched my dvd player is approx 12m. Can u suggest me something cheap and good and where can i purchase. And does the lenght of cable matters when you want to get a good output as well the quality of the cable. Pls advice thx.

All I can say is that, expensive branded cables are better than cap ayam brand. It depends whether you appreciate PQ or not. If you don't then cap ayam will do.

to me digital cable still same, no difference
but like the one u selling, s video monster, tat one ibelip got diffence over cap ayam s video
