My situation is like this, i just bought a new HDMI Dvd player (Toshiba) and it came with free hdmi cable (cheap one), when i try to play movie (Dvd9) with my lcd tv (Sony Bravia) using both 1080i and 720P, i quite disappointed with the picture quality (distortion and a bit blur).
But then i changed the cable to Composite S-Video Cable (Yellow, red, white) instead of Hdmi cable, walla the picture quality is quite good now, without distortion and more sharpness compare when using with the cheap hdmi cable. How in the hell the old generation cable like composite cable can produce better picture quality than hdmi cable. It just make no sense to me, but then i think the cause maybe from the cheap hdmi cable that came free with my dvd player.

After this i think i want to try use it with the expensive hdmi cable like monster or gold plated hdmi cable. Is it true picture quality can be better if i use the gold plated one?
