Exactly that. If he wants 4K or 3D, I wouldn't recommend a crappy one because of these issues. Anyway, I wouldn't recommend a crappy one not even if he wanted 720p. HDMI inputs are usually sensitive and break easily. I've seen more than once a cheap cable turn a US$10-20 saving in a broken HDMI port in a TV or console.
