So is there really a difference between $100 HDMI cables and $30 cables? Or is it like a lot of things where you pay for the name? I guess the question should be, is there a noticable difference btw those price points?
No, A digital signal is a Digital signal. The only thing that is worth paying for it the protective noise shielding, and gold plated ends (mostly to prevent corosion) www.bluejeanscable.com is a good place to order cables. Don't buyMonster way over hyped, your just buying the name.
if you have a bj's near you i bought my belkin hdmi cables for 24.99 and they worked just as good as the monster cables i initially bought. but look around in flyers i have seen RCA hdmi cables ar walmart for 24.99 as well. and there is no difference monster is way way way overhyped, they make great batteries though.
S2K is right. The monoprice cables are the best quality for its price. Their 6-feet 24AWG cable with net jacket and gold plated, heavy duty connectors are a great value at $18.00: http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...cs_id=1024002&p_id=2219&seq=1&format=2&style=
