I have 1080p tv and want to get the best hdmi cable so there is great picture quality?

Question

which cables should I use and why?

Answer 1

The stores will try and sell you a $100 dollar Monster cable. This is a scam, save your money and go to MonoPrice.com and make your purchase. They are not the cheapest place, however they do publish thier specification and they currently manufacture to HDMI v1.2.a. I have not any other seller/distributor who states their compliance and that includes MONSTER.

(I bought 4 cables for the price of 1 Monster, including shipping.)

As to the response for Monster Cable, Standards for HDMI cable require 4 shields plus an exterier braid. Monster only difference between their best and someone who meets standards is "Silver coated individual wires as opposed to tinned. This might have some merrit if you were running 500 foot cables, however in 99% of home applications this means nothing. Does it merrit a price 5 times others, I think not. As to gold conductors that is something that even the cheapest cables have.

Answer 2

Monster Cable 400

Best cable, but comes with a price. $99 for 1 meter, $130 for 2 meter and 4 meter for $150

Besides the full 24k gold plating in the end connections, it also have triple layer shielding to prevent loss of signal or worse yet outside interference.

Sure there is cheaper out there, but did you just buy a cheap tv?

"that BMW looks great with those $44.00 walmart tires and those plastic rims from Sears......."

Get my point?

If you get a picture at all from an HDMI cable, that is the best it will be, regardless if the cable cost $10 or $200. Get the lowest cost HDMI cable that works. Here is one source : http://www.monoprice.com/home/index.asp
