Digital is digital...1 and 0 of info... HDMI is essentially SL-DVI ... there is no distinction whether the 1 and 0 travels through gold/sliver/platinum or even plain copper/tin/graphite... No HDMI cable should cost more than an ordinary SL-DVI cable.

A more accurate comparison would be... The same coke from the supermarket or served at a high class restaurant at 10x the price... same liquid in tummy but with a less money in the pocket.

I extended 1080p signal with a 8m DVI cable (with an DVI to HDMI adapter), at a cost of only RM40 for the cable..... to my 46' Bravia

VGA has higher bandwidth than DL-DVI.... 40MHz RAMDACs... up to and surpass 2560x1600@60Hz resolution (at around 2x 1080p)... However signals degrades slightly at such high bandwidth... I have VGA powering up dual 1920x1200 displays or (3840x1200@60Hz)

Higher... much higher... the 400MHz RAMDACs can go high, even slighly beyond DL-DVI... pushing mine to 3840x1200@60Hz... and 30 inchers resolution of 2560x1600@60Hz no problem too, but no monitor this resolution size have analog signal processor(s) for this resolution.

The VGA signal can benefit from short & good quality cables...

Or with powered digital VGA switches and(or) a VGA spiltter box (like Matrox's TH2Go) I can get to power 3 separate SXGA projectors with decent pixel quality for a panorama 3840x1024pixels@60Hz view ... with a distance of about 4 meters of combined cables/VGA sockets.

No difference, same amount of wires/connectors
