quote: i certainly wouldn't be trusting comets :lol: and like i said, analog stuff (ie: scarts, s-video, component, composite, phono/rca) you will notice differences with better quality cables, but in the digital domain (HDMI, spdif, digital coax, optical etc) i would still get a decent cables (around 10-30 quid mark, just from the improve quality of cable/cores and connection/sockets/plugs etc) but it certainly isn't worth spending £50/100 quid or so like you would perhaps with an analog connection/cable, as differences would be very difference if there was any. | |

mine was £25 iirc. tbh cant tell that much difference, and when changing to 1080i and making it "better" in other options... it actually looks worse :boggle: | |

I'm of the opinion a fiver cable does the job, unless its over about 300 feet. | |

it's worth spending a bit of cash just to get a half decent shielded cable (even if it is all digital). I wouldn't go over the top and start spending hundreds on the thing but i would certainly spend 20 quid or so :thumbs: | |

apparently the £5 ones are the same as £50 ones. but theres got to be a reason why its £5. I got a £20 one in the end and its perfect. dunno what one it is, it came with the ps3. | |

Just bought a newly released Samsung DVD Recorder, Hard Disk with built in Freeview etc. and HD upscaling dvd. So I'm guessing I'll need to use a HDMI cable to the TV for best quality pics. Is there much difference in the quality of the cables - you can get them on ebay for a fiver or about £30 up in Richer Sounds etc. Anybody recommend a decent one - only needs to be about 1 metre long. Cheers. |
