Now what my question is , is there much different in high definition quaulty between these hdmi cable , where would i get the best hdmi cable and would it be much difference from the cheapest one , as far as i know my hd tv is a 1080i

Note my poll down below , is just a question of do you not like it when you watching like hd movies on sky hd and then you switch over to sd movie , dose it make you get annoyed.

I've used Monster HDMI cables and one by Nextech. The difference between the two isn't much. There's no need to spend $80.00 on something like Monster cables. A $30 cable will offer comparable quality.

They are all the same. They either work or they dont. If you live in the U.S, go to monoprice.com. You can get a cable for around $8 shipped.

I bought an HDMI cable at Walmart and then later bought a NexTech HDMI and there was no difference what so ever. I say what ever is the cheepest. Now I can't confirm that the Monster HDMI cables are better than your off brand ones b/c Monster is just too expensive for my tastes.

Ditto here, My HDMI cable was 50 bucks, and that was hard for me to drop, but i was a little paranoid, just get whichever best deal you find!!!!!!

I really care to buy cables over the internet because I like to find the ones that have the gold plating on the connectors because the connection is usually a lot better. Gold doesn't tend to have much resistance when any kind of power or signal is sent through it. And being the connection is always the most common place for resistance the connector is the most important part of any circuit.

And many of these cables are not that expensive any more. I think the most I have paid is about $45.00 one time. And the least has been around $15.00.

That doesn't make much sense, since a HDMI cable is digital, it either works or it doesn't (just like a USB cable for example). the signal is 1 or 0, nothing in between, gold plated or not. Don't let them rip you off.

Just get the cheaper one, it wont get any noticable difference between expensive & non-expensive HDMIs because they are all running digitally.
