QUOTE(myqd @ Dec 20 2008, 05:25 PM) maybe it's just my mind trying to convince me,my 1st impression for QED HDMI-P 8m VS previous DENN 10m HDMI,there's definately some different,i see the colour is more saturated on QED,brightness/contrast/sharpness didnt notice any much different,maybe need to change spectacle  . Dun shoot,i'm just getting the best i can afford now.  ty bro.. i believe certainly there will be a diff betwwen cap ayam n branded.. i will go for the best i can afford..

QUOTE(robertngo @ Dec 21 2008, 08:27 PM) why does HDMI cable material matter? the signal is digital not analog, it either transfer every bit perfectly or it does not work at all, have anyone really see a improvement using gold plated super expensive HDMI cable? somehow if a cable can support 1080i might not succed in 1080p because the data send is twice the amount.. and therefore traffic congestion is there..so it is not that simple as u think just transfering 1,0

QUOTE(robertngo @ Dec 22 2008, 08:08 AM) all usb cable at usb 1.0 transfer data at same speed the problem you have should be windows does not copy over some of the files due to timeout, have you see any god plated usb cable that said it is better at data transfer that normal cable? it make no sense because the same usb spec cable will have the same speed, so all HDMI 1.3 version cables should have the some transfer speed because they are same spec. Added on December 22, 2008, 8:18 amMonster are depending on this mentality to make money. usb thumbdrive altot the same version..still can vary in speed..try diff brand u will find out soon.. so depends on the material used.. i dun believe a cheap HDMI can support 1080p, the EYE diagrame normally use for the HDMI test explain everything..it will suffer data congestion.. actually many ppl againts monster because of ther superior pricing, but no ones deny thier quality (the hi end series)..den how about the QED, Audioquest, Wireworld..etc

QUOTE(1tinydino @ Dec 22 2008, 04:09 PM) for those who know & quoted digital bits is a lots of 0's and 1's...they probably don't know a voltage pulse is required to drives them to produce the bunch of 0's and 1's...there are differences when u measure the output of a cable at the end of it, when u inject a 5V pulse thru a low resistance cable and a high resistance cable (V=I*R) ...to make a cable low resistance, there are different manufacturing methods and its certainly more complex than simply putting a bunch of cables in a core...the way u arrange the conductors in a core, even the type of cables used matters... very good explanation..salute u yeah HDMI are digital, but that is not that simple as 1 & 0 signal sending from 1 end to another.. cables don't deal wit digits, they deal with real world analogue signals that are used to represent those digits.. so the tricks are lying between there..

QUOTE(kepco @ Dec 22 2008, 06:08 PM) for the example of the car, let look at this way, why do you think BMW selling Mini One more expensive than Honda, Toyota, Citroen, Renault 1.6 litre car. Is simple, low pricing could damage their branding strategy and their pricing in the market. Same goes to QED/Monster, just imagine if you buy Monster HDMI cable same price as said "Cap Ayam" HDMI cable, what kind of damage will do to thier other products line. seriously a mini cooper will beat altis,civic flat.. mini cooper give u fun and more importantly the "sheer driving pleasure" by bmw then the selling point is there, is just the consumer need those products or not..
