lol..so i dun nid to spend much on HDMI cables anymore

thanks Htkaki for the reply,very "sincere and warm" reply i must say


Glad to know u're having fun and thanks for sharing the price of ur hdmi cable ya anyone else mind to share ? As for myself,i'm using Panasonic hdmi(white colour,bought arr RM170 from Brunei) from PS3 > 876.And from 876 > AE900,i'm using a 10m hdmi from htkaki (thanks again ) cost arr same price with my pana hdmi if not mistaken.

me using

1. 2 x FREE HDMI cable from Samsung DVD player (2006)
2. FREE HDMI cable from Pioneer
3. RM59 HDMI cable from Jusco

all no problem & I think the Jusco & samsung cable should be only ver 1.1 or 1.2 only.....

if read previous post, signal integrity is discussed, such as:

1) when use long HDMI cable, choosing a HDMI cable need be consider due to signal loss. But as long as cheapo brand can show up sharp/clean picture, then is good to go.
2) Digital cable such as HDMI/DVI doesn't enhanced PQ/Audio unlike analog cable, other equipments such as whether we're using Plasma or LCD, better AV receiver, equipment setting is more prominent than digital cable itself.
3) Digital cable still go back to 0 and 1, is either we have it or don't have it, don't have complexity of analog world for multistage performance in PQ/Audio if different cable is used. (Signal Integrity)

Question guys...

When I watch Spiderman 3 BD,

There's noise at black part...

why aaa ?...

i watch with ps3, HD ready, 100hz 32"...

Does the problem come with cheap HDMI ?...

I dont have any other BD to test );

I believe u have to set the LCD tV.

That is not noise...
It is actually clarity...
If u were to watch on CRT... u see smooth only.
Your LCD is the problem... not the BD...

I did discuss with with mpyw (another big time bluray fan and previously Sony TV supporter)
this movie and a few other BD got lots of "digital grain or specks" showing thro their sony 1080p TVs at the sony store demos, I also dunno why.. maybe the sharpness is dialed maximum??
I really donno this weird phenomena..

Bro, is it like those grain that we see on our tv during heavy rain during old days or those that we see when the channel is not properly tuned in (RF)?

yeah something like that.. during certain dark scenes very distracting..

wow,that's quite bad actually,so is that becos of the cables? Maybe should try with other cables like componet or composite then only know...

yeah it pretty bad, but I don't think it's the HDMI cable.. maybe the settings in the TV.. but strange the sony shop people can't notice these artifacts wan.. what;'s the use of selling 20k Full HD TVs..

U use S video or component... sure wont see already. He! He! He!

OK..just came back from a shop to test the HDMI cables between "Cap Ayam" VS Branded (Sharp) & AudioQuest,
Setup> Pioneer Plasma Kuro 60inch > Pioneer BDP-LX70A > Pioneer VSX LX60
1: "Cap Ayam" Vs Sharp HDMI Cables (Both at 2m )
Can't really notice any diferent between the two cables..
2: "Cap Ayam" VS AudioQuest (Both at 2m)
Picture colours improvement noticeable especially with more rich colours...others almost the same..

if what most sifus here are correct,it wont be any diff esp at 2m.....better prepare some kind shields b4 kena tembak,hehehe

haha..i dunno..i only said what based on what i saw.. kena tambak oso no choice!

hehe,no worry la,sifus here wont be so "cruel" one,just kidding

Sifus Any shop except pasar road to get an el cheapo hdmi cable ?
TIA

Carrefour/Tesco for around RM25 only, but stocks are limited.

Cables are essentially conductor wires connected to one device to another. What it do is just transmit pulses of electrical signal (digital signal) from one end to the other. In a way, only thing that matters probably is the quality material of the cable itself and the length of it. Shielding and other good quality material used in making the cable like the insulation bit could be the contributing cause for the higher cost. Brand could also be a factor. Normally static inteference wont be that high enough to interrupt the signal nor do much loss of voltage due to the short length. So in a way, cheap cable will do just fine as long you dont mind the "made in China" brand.
