You are "almost" correct. All cables work fine (I have 3 HDMI cables bought at $6 each). But some can be better than others and it actually matters for HDMI since sometimes some pixel data does not arrive (or arrives corrupted) and you will not see the pixel(s) for that frame. It's called "sparklies", just search for it plus hdmi.
Anyway, I agree with you, all cables work fine and expensive cables are a scam.
