mind you, i'm by no means an expert, but this is my understanding. it doesn't particularily matter which hdmi cable you buy, because they are all the same. however, the connectors are the real thing. if you buy the standard cable, it's more likely to get connection problems down the road such as corroding/wearing out, etc. tho i'm sure that's not a big problem. gold connectors, tho more expensive, obviously don't wear out or corrode nearly as fast and have better electrical conductivity or whatever the correct word is if that's wrong. being a recording engineer, i know that buying moster cables is really like saying 'here, i didn't want all this money anyway' since you can build your own stuff for a fraction of whatt a monster cable costs. but they do make a quality product, even if they make a rediculous profit off it.
also, only buy the length of cable that you actually need. hdmi is, from my understanding, susceptable to loss due to length. where component or composite cables have like a 50ft max before loss due to length, the shorter the hdmi cable, the better.
hope that helps. and don't cut me down too much if i have some information a little wrong. like i said, i'm no expert.
