Hello!

Does any of you tested a 10m HDMI 1.4cable with PS3? I found a cable product code:HQSS5560-10A26 from HQ (http://www.hqproducts.com/). Does any of you have or used HDMI cables from HQ?

It generally doesn't matter that much. As long as your HDTV is decent and your cable is alright you'll get great results. No big deal with what cable brand you choose.

The cable brand matters only if you want one 3m+ long. And in your case, you're going to need a gold plated one. I see you want a 1.4 one. That means you have a 3D TV, right? Do you really need such a long cable? It would cost you over 40$, I guess...

I got a 6 foot 1.4 hdmi cable with ethernet for $4.48 with free shipping. I got them from cablebuilders on ebay. On their site, they are selling a 30 foot 1.4 hdmi cable for $18.75 with buy it now but you may be able to bid on it and get it cheaper.

I generally buy Monoprice cables, although any brand should be fine.

The longest I own is this, though, which is only 25ft to your 10m. They do carry longer ones, but most longer cables are not rated for 3D/1.4. I've read on various forums of some people running 50 foot cables with little issue, except they can only do 720p as any higher resolution results in visual sparklies on the TV.

The other issue with longer cables is the build quality - the ones that are built properly to sustain a signal over that kind of distance result in one hell of a thick cable.
