Hi ,

I was under the impression that all you need these days is a $5-10.00 HDMI cable. Well, I bought a $100.00, 4 ft Monster HDMI cable, from Best Buy. some specs include, rated for 240 hertz , 14 bitcolor, and 15.8 gbps.

I tested this cable from the Cable HD box to my new LED 46 inch Samsung 8000 series tv.

Then, I tried a $9.00 HDMI cable I picked up from Target on black friday. It is 6ft and is made by GE, but not to many spect on the packaging. 1.3 industry cert cable, 10.2 gbps, 1080p. Also used only from cable HD box to the new tv.

YES, at times there was a difference, but not always. Overall, the 100.00 cable was more clear and consistant. If I had to use the cheap one to get by for a while, one could probably do so.

So, what is the deal with this HDMI cable thing lately, does it mke the difference or not??

I don't feel like dumping another 100.00 on an HDMI, i still need to hook up the Blu-Ray which will need the very best cable available since it is carring a true 1080 and more info from what I hear.

Do the newer 240 hertz LEDS need the better cable??


what's you take/opinion etc?

Thanks
Tim
