all hdmi cables do the exact same effect. all information is clocked thus no difference will be seen. so heres the problem people have - they c some more expensive then others, why is this? brand naming and ripoff. the extra money is just for the box and fake words. i went into futureshop and they had 1 cable for 15 dollars and the rest were 110! 110 dollars are you kidding? heres what one of them said

HI DEFINITION hdmi <--- c the problem in that? rofl.

so no there is no difference between any hdmi cables


You should read nordleads post, cause you are wrong


He's not very wrong. There is no difference between hdmi cables that are rated for the same category. Is that better? Monster will still charge you $100 for a category 2 cable, while you can get it online for 10 or less.

There is still a difference in quality,  Monster may be expensive but they are a much better made cable than any of those cheap ones.   They use better materials and are manufactured to a higher standard.   Look  I'm not saying that he should buy them,  most people wouldnt be able to see the difference.  Hell I dont even own any, if money wasnt an option I would.  But to be completely ignorant and say there is no difference in the quality of the cable is ridiculous.   And at longer differences that quality, or lack of in the case of these cheap cables, become extremely obivious.  

It would be no different if he were to say a Kia is of the same build quality as a Mercedes or BMW.   He would have been laughed out of the room.

Thats the quality of the build, which may change. Quality of the signal, unless going ridiculous distances, unchanged. Monster cable will last longer if you step on it, bend it, and beat the crap out of it, but who's gonna do that. The cable is going to sit behind your tv for 5 years, so go with the cheapos
