frankly speaking....i have yet to see significant difference in the quality of expensive and less expensive HDMI cables....my personal opinion is as long as they're built properly..especially the connectors and the housings are not loose and/or with out-of-spec gaps and such..i guess they work fine.

i am currently using audioquest, cardass and clicktronic....also tried with those that came free with DVD player and media player.....doesnt make much difference with the signal quality.....though the audioquest and cardass looks good in appearance...then again they're hiding behind the furniture

i am using 15 m of hdmi cable in a room the size of 3.5mx5m, receiver sitting in the middle of the 3.5m width wall and projector is installed on the opposite wall, half way down from the ceiling. 10 m wasnt enough...12 or 13 would but....the one up from 10 is 15m

in my setup, it seem there's no difference when i connect the 15m cable vs a 2m cable.....this was before the devices were in its current location.

is that even possible at today's market's price and rate...

cheapest BD i got so far is Batman Begin from UK....that'd be about RM49.50 shipping included.
