Cheap one, and nothing. They can only make a slight slight slight slight slight difference at huge feet.

I have about six different cables from various resellers with an average price of about $10, excluding my noob Monster Cable purchase. All of these cables are 3 meters or less and I can see absolutely no difference in quality. These were all tested in a Pioneer 1080p Kuro.

Some of the more expensive cables have better shielding to prevent electrical interference from other sources but this is only usually a problem over longer lengths, butwith regard to how they carry the digital signal theres absolutely no difference at all between a cheap cable and a high end expensive (and completely pointless imo) cable.
