Those kiosks' TVs haven't been calibrated for optimal viewing. The settings used are to wow customers who are not knowledged in how optimal settings should look. Overblown highlights, crushed details, and color bleeding are not optimal.

The general rule for HDMI cables is if it works, it works. Sure, there is that upgrade with 1.3a, but you don't need Monster for that.
