I hate to be the one to tell you this, buutttttt....

HDMI is a digital signal. You either get the signal or you don't. There is no quality corruption like there is in an analog cable.

In short, a $4 cable works just as well as a $150 cable. Sorry you got screwed, man.

from what i understand 1.3 works differently than 1.2, in that it doubles bandwidth.
but only for applicable sourcces, its kinda like future proofing.
though new sony video cams already take advantage of HDMI 1.3

See, but 1.3 still uses the same cabling. Just like a 1.1 USB cable works for 2.0. It's a digital signal. If you have the same copper running from port to port, it will work.

 yeah it will work, but if your devices are 1.3 capable and you bought a cheap cable, youll be missing out on some new features. so no, i dont agree that 4$ cables would work just as well as $150 ones.

Unless I'm gravely mistaken, a 1.1 HDMI cable will work with 1.3 with no problem whatsoever.

BTW, I'd like to point out that I just bought a 1.3 cable for $5 on Monoprice. Guess what? They listed 1.1 cables as the same part number.

Like I said, digital is digital. Same port, same number of pins= same fucking cable. 

And honestly, if you can take complete advantage of HDMI 1.3 right now, you're a liar.
