thanks, i guess i just got a defective one
oh and how about taking it in and out of the HDMI port?
since its on my laptop i have to pull it out and in a lot.
i heard cheap HDMI cables break easy if i do that .
any truth to that?

I don't know, but it doesn't sound logical.  As long as you're carefully inserting and removing the cable and not trying to jam it in there or rip it out at an angle, it should be fine.  I've actually seen some Monster cables (and this doesn't apply to HDMI cables, mostly just the composite and component cables) rip the ports right off the back of the TV, because they're designed to grab onto the port too tightly.  Cables should be a snug fit: easy to remove, but not easy to fall out on their own.
