    What's the difference between the Monster $135 cables and the PureAV cables or the generic brand that I can buy from walmart for around $30?

    I have a Sony 52" XBR TV with a PS3, Cablevision HD Receiver, and a Samsung 1080i DVD/VCR Upscale player. Is there a reason to buy expensive cables? I don't see any problem with the current cables I am using.

    The price. If they work they work....if they don't they don't.

    So basically there is no difference in quality?

    It's all about the materials they use to shield the conductive material and sometimes the connections themselves (i.e. gold plated).

    Go to monoprice.com to get the best prices on HDMI cables.
