Maybe the expensive one can send a higher bit rate without loss. Just speculate, never touch this hdmi thingy before.

Well i said maybe. It is at least plausible. Heheh.

There's a limit actually, branded HDMI cables from QED and Wireworld will cap its length to 15 metres. If you're running 1080P signals, it's note advisable to use a lenghty HDMI cable and besides, why do you need 100m for? It's not that you'll put your player downstairs and your HDTV panel upstairs. 

I guess for normal 1m is more than enough and for projectors, I think 5m to 10m will be more than enough. HDMI cables are just like speakers cables, the shorter, the better.

Already bought last month. Too bad for me you didn't offer earlier.

Those with shielding are just marketing gimmick, to justify charging more. HDMI not affected by interference so won't make a diff cheap or expensive.

You are off topic lah  . S-Video is analog cable where signal strength and quality plays an important part in picture quality unlike HDMI.

As long as the 100m one can transmit the signal strong enough over the long distance to be detected by the receiver the PQ will be the same.

although it is digital but if the shield protection not enuf good it also will interrence with other.. so if more expensive 1 the 1 0 1 0 wit sent smoothly

From technical point of view,cheap and expensive cables do have the differences,no matter it's for digital or analog.

Cables are consist of resistance,capacitance and inductance which will 'influence' any signal pass through them.Depends on what type/speed of the signal,difference may be significant or not so.

And don't forget shielding capability of the cables too.

ah cable discussion! i like....

i posted this question at another thread..maybe here would be more appropriate.

those free hdmi cables that comes together when we purchase dvd player/lcd/plasma.....how good are they?

i know PQ and sound is subjective and obviously can't compare these HDMI freebies with monster cables..qed etc but just wondering how would u guys rate such freebies.

i got a free hdmi cable from sharp..it's called evo. have yet to put it to use and wondering if it's worth the extra investment to get so called 'better' HDMI cables

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.

Pirated audio cd comes from mp3.  If you take an original music cd , rip it off from a good cd writer digitally to wave format and then manufacture it again,it will sound the same.

Comparing to the other cable I have (RM80 from Tye Huat) I don't see any difference. Maybe my eye and ear not sharp enough to differentiate

Guys, read through the pages of this thread. It has been discussed many, many times in this thread, and many other threads. Even in the Audiophilia Objective thread. HDMI is digital. Signal sent is in binary numbers of 0 and 1. Picture or audio quality will not be affected, either you get the signal or not. That's all. The only thing to look for is the physical built quality, durablility, etc.

If we're talking about analogue cables, then yes, different cable could actually bring some difference. What's still debatable is how much improvements each analogue cable can bring versus the price you pay.

hehe,sorry sorry boss    juz read the previous posts till page 7,most answers are "digital is digital,as long as the signal can get through properly,there's no diff in PQ "  .

just curious,mind to share what's the hdmi cable u guys using now,the one come free with the BD player ? or < RM100 one ?

Question guys...

When I watch Spiderman 3 BD,

There's noise at black part...

why aaa ?...

i watch with ps3, HD ready, 100hz 32"...

Does the problem come with cheap HDMI ?...

I dont have any other BD to test );
