i think to buy or not to buy a expensive branded HDMI all still come back to our own decision.The decision u make depends on either u urself can "see or feel" the different,no matter it's real or just mind trick,as long as u urself can tell the different( even it might be just ur mind trick ),and if u can afford it now,i dun see any problem why shouldnt we cant get ourself a better HDMI cable

as for me,i was using a 10m OEM HDMI < RM200 and frankly,sometimes during the BDs playback, i do feel the PQ can be better if i change to a better HDMI cable.Recently i bought a 8m QED HDMI cost few hundred rm and i actually found it change the PQ in term of colour saturation.I know some might said it's just my mind ,ok,maybe it's,but i feel more comfortable with the new cable and i'm happy with it.So if spending few hundred ringgit in a decent HT system and can make myself happy,why not,right?

i'm thinking of taking pics with AB comparison these few days,everything same setting,including the camera.I wonder if there's different in PQ,will others say that's becos when process the pics,saved and post,it will affect diff PQ to both pics ? Or can anyone enlighten me how to make it "fair" if i want to take pics for the same scene,with diff HDMI cables? Thanks in advance.

emm....the OEM i dunno the spec as it doesnt come with box but the QED is 1.3 version,as stated in their website.The speed ma.......i not sure la,but the 8m HDMI is connected between my AVR and PJ,and between PS3 and AVR i'm using MP-Acoustic/Panasonic at the moment,might change to Chord since i just got it recently.

thanks bro but if blind test 10 times,same time same place,i bet even cheapo S-video and 10 times more expensive S-video(analog video signal) also hardly tell the different cos oledi "blur-blur" liaw my eye,hahaha.

One thing,normally to do AB comparison,is it good to do it in "still" or normal playback? ( the other day i'm doing still scene,AB comparison result with pics oledi posted last week in one of the thread),maybe during playback better to compare?


thanks bro,i love King Kong too,waiting for the realse of its BD.

10m at RM530 is not too bad,i love the "Flat" design,my Chord Lo-Pro hdmi 1.5m also same.For 10m,i was choosing between AudioQuest-X and QED HDMI-P the other day,but settled with QED finally becos of better deal I saw some branded hdmi if > 10m they got "built in line amplifier" to ensure meet the spec of 1.3,wow...

hehehe,Mr.HDphile freak,whatever the reason,as long as we can afford to buy the best at the moment,why not,right?

but honestly,until this moment i still beleive there're some different,either it's juz mind trick or real,and that make me happy,maybe juz another Xmas present

Merry Christmas to all,esp ar188 and aiman04 for u guys patience
