Xbox 360 HDMI cable

So I've had a Vizio HDMI cable for a number of years now. My roomate let me try his official Microsoft HDMI cable and it seemed to have better quality and a clearer image. Was this just my imagination or do I need to upgrade?

Your old cable probably just isn't version 1.3.... any $5 HDMI cable you get these days will work amazingly as long as it's version 1.3.

Its your imagination.

You don't need shielding for digital cables. Only for analog like component/composite.

Any electronic signal can be victim of interference. I've also had many problems with unshielded cables. No problems what-so-ever with properly shielded ones.

No, HDMI is completely digital; 1's and 0's. It's either ALL there, or it's not. Magnetic or electronic interference isn't a problem whatsoever with all-digital cables.
