Assumed what? I stayed out of the Plasma vs LED argument, I was late to this thread and I knew people would have already dealt with you. I focused purely on what I knew, that two HDMI cables will produce the exact same picture because it uses a digital signal.

After seeing your arrogant behaviour and attitude towards other posters who were debating with you rationally, I thought I would have some fun with you and have the last laugh when you are proven wrong. I'm not acting like I'm smart, I'm just focusing on what I know, when I referred to the experts who knew a lot more than you I was specifically referring to archbrix.

I would report you for insulting me in that last paragraph, but I'll accept it, I did provoke you.

If you don't like the community here, then leave.

I won't get into the entire debate and I agree the guy is very obnoxious in his posts but different HDMI cables can produce different quality outputs.  The caveat is that when I say different quality it would usually mean the inferior cable suffers complete drop outs and/or a white out effect on pizels on the screen.  I personally say that a cable will either work or not as the tolerence usually is just that.  Sorry if this isn't relevant to the HDMI cable discussion you were having.

In general I forgot to mention at a short length there is rarely any difference in HDMI cables, it's only when you start to look at cables in excess of 10m where manufacturing quality will improve reliabvility and compatability with devices as the digital signal is more likely to be transmitted more reliably on cables that have less cross talk.  Better cables will also be harder to damage which can produce signal degradation too.  Despite HDMI standards some devices will naturally output stronger signals than others and some displays will be better at reconstructing a damaged or deteriotaed signal so a cable that works for one TV isn't guaranteed to work for another for example (again very long cables).

To all of those saying that Plasma has the better picture quality with colours etc, can anyone explain, if that is the case, why professional computer monitor manufacturers such as Eizo don't use the Plasma technology in their monitors?

would be too expensive to make a small monitor.. thats why plasmas only come in bigger sizes

What in the hell did this thread turn into?

he obviously likes to pause his porn at a good bit while he faps

You have SEEN the prices of Eizo monitors, I gather? These are in the multi thousand dollar range. They are a company whose goal is to get perfect colour reproduction on monitors for use in professional art.

yes they are.. but if they used High tech plasma tech they would have to pay for patents too... and small sizes would eat into profits

There are two reasons. Number 1. Plasmas work only for big sizes. The Industry desperatly tried to shrink plasmas over the last decade. They finally managed to shrink the minimal size to 32 inch Thats just too big for Computer Monitors.

Second its the Pixel density. You cant fit as much Pixel in a square inch. But Pixeldensity is quite important if you stare at a monitor from close range.
