i havent been following this thread but these links might help http://www.audioholics.com/education/cable...hdmi%20shootout .. according to the links, el cheapo hdmi and super branded ones do have some diff.. that is the super ultra expensive MIGHT be future proof .. but for me i would go for normal hdmi and if the format changes its still not too late to change to a better 1.. THESE ARE THE RESULT OF THE TEST http://www.audioholics.com/education/cable...testing-results

bro, just curious whether have u done any blind tests on the hdmi cables?.. i have done it n i couldnt tell the diff.. but i tested super cheap hdmi and bluejeans, no diff .. and according to my friend who works in hifi shop also claimed he couldnt find any diff between cheap hdmi and expensive ones (but did not say what brand)... maybe monster got diff compared to el cheapo in blind tests.. let me know ok

u just need a friend to help u. he change the cable (or not change the cable) then u see whether there is a diff or not.. after 10 times then just match what u see n what he did

bro the cable changing part is not supposed to be done by u .. u need some1 to do it (randomly change between cables) without telling u which is which.. do 10 test n see how many times u guess it right at the end ..anyway i am just curious... dont have to do it if u r not interested... peace

Noted... by the way u dont have to plug it on n off rapidly.. u should get some1 plug in or out slowly if u wanna do the test

mine i think 9m jin biru

so case close yet? any1 still claim there is a diff in pic quality between cheap n expensive 1.3 hdmi cables?

1) Misleading or Not
For those of u who bought expensive hdmi cable there is nothing wrong with it. But for a noob like me who only relies on reviews and articles, until now i havent seen any articles by engineers (not your local hifi saleman) who state that super hi price hdmi cable give better pq. Then i see ppl here claiming it does. I am confused now. I have done a blind A/B blindtest between good built (not super branded) bluejeans hdmi cable with cap palang hdmi cables but no diff. I just wanna know the truth abt the performance (pq). Durability and built quality aside, just wanna know has any1 done a A/B blind test and can really tell the diff in pq. If there is a diff then i might consider investing more in hdmi cables. If there is none then pls dont mislead noobs like me saying it does.

2)Why cant i spend more on hdmi cables when i have spent so much on AV?

BEcoz i have other things to spend on like room acoustic, pj screen and bd player that will definitely IMPROVE the overall performance. So if a branded hdmi cable is only better in durability, carrying signal for a longer distance and looks better then its not for ppl like me.

My point is if a branded hdmi cables doesnt improve pq pls dont say so bcoz it will mislead newcomers who has ALOT of other things to spend on. If it does improve the pq then pls state the brand n model and which cap palang hdmi cable did u compare with and izt a blind A/B test (did u play the same movie for the test) bcoz alot of us will appreciate it
