Maybe was a dodgy cable but still seems to be much better! I dont think the cable is dodgy, digital signals can still be effected if the cable is cheap and not sheilded like more expensive cables! | |

quote: Sounds like you got a dodgy cable then as for a cable to be called a HDMI cable it needs to have an error rate so low that it would not be noticable i.e. 1 pixel incorrect ever couple seconds (that 1 pixel in 1 frame so 1/50 or 1/60 of a second) Anything more than that and it does not adhere to the HDMI standard. As said a digital signal is a digital signal. It either works or doesn't i.e. you see blocky picture or perfect. Digital cables cannot affect how the picture looks in terms of brightness, colour etc The only time you should start to see a difference is where you are running longer cables | |

If you are spending 40 quid on an hdmi cable you are wasting at least 30 quid of it though. | |

HDMI leads can be dirt cheap and still give the same quality as a expensive one! | |

No difference by buying expensive ones, especially over 1m. | |

I'm looking for a HDMI lead to go from my home cinema system to the TV. It only needs to be around 1m. Is there really that much difference when going with an expensive lead? |
