QUOTE(ar188 @ Dec 7 2008, 10:47 AM) yes that's a good conclusion based on length required.. and if the HDMI cable does show problems, they show DIGITAL artifacts like "image snow" or Purple video, video flashing white frames etc. HDMI DIGITAL cables doesn't give you improved color, improved visual definition, improved Y/C definition etc. those are S-video/component/composite analog cable attributes. I'm gonna laugh to death if another HDMI cable seller start claiming these beneifits for their digital cables..  Totally agreed. I've grown tired of trying to convince this to some. And that digital artifacts, if those happens the cable can already be considered as faulty, not picture quality issue.

Not sure about those using different version of the cable or not, but a comparison is only fair if they're both the same version. And about Deep Color, can anyone find any source using it? On DVD? BD? The Blu-ray specification for movies (BD-ROM) does not support Deep Color or the new xvYCC color space. Even the RGB is not relevant, YCbCr is the only way. In order to get Deep Color, everything must supports it. The source, the player, the receiver (if applicable) and the TV. The only real source currently is the consumer handycams, etc. Read more here: http://www.audioholics.com/tweaks/calibrat...evels-xvycc-rgb

Callmevil, we've been discussing this over and over again all through the pages. Nobody even bothered to read them, hence the same discussion keep coming back. I think we can close this thread, everybody can always refer through the pages.

My final verdict: Just kidding. You absolutely right ar188. I know I said many times digital is digital, and how version 1.3 HDMI for both cheap or expensive 5m or shorter won't give any difference, and I still believe that, but I just bought myself a top-end QED HDMI-SR! Why? I don't know, maybe because I'm just a crazy HDphile freak! Again, this doesn't change my believe about digital cables. When I connect the new cable, honest to God I never expect to see any difference. But the feeling of satisfaction and pride of owning high end stuffs is priceless. Like someone said before, maybe just ego, but I would rather like to be known as an HDphile freak instead. This post has been edited by aiman04: Dec 24 2008, 07:59 PM

I saw at the last KLIAV they're selling QED Silver Aniversary XT for more than RM1k, and that was supposed to be special offer exclusive to the show. But I bought it online just few weeks before that for less than half of that price!
