Without a doubt analogue is a whole other realm. The best you can afford for analogue. But, it really isn't a matter of diminishing returns with digital. There is adequate, and beyond is really a waste of money. Obviously certain name brand cable companies will do all they can to try to convince people otherwise. How many of you have ever given a second thought to the cable that connects your HDD to the motherboard? Gary |

For cables carrying an analog signal such as speaker wire or component video, cable quality will affect the output. For cables such as HDMI which carry a digital signal, cable quality has no affect on the output until the signal degrades past a certain point. Up to that point, there is no difference between a low grade and high grade cable. A high grade cable will be able to go longer distances or operate better in an electrically noisy environment. If neither of these conditions apply, you're just wasting money on expensive digital cables.

I have heard, any brand for lengths of less then three feet; more then that, (and for some, it can be a lot of feet), then maybe you might want to spend more. Maybe. |

ok for short cables, but what about cables that run to a projector.
I plan on buying a 1080p projector when our new house is finished. I would like to see my AV equipment in front of me, but that would make the HDMI cable as long as 10 to 15 meters. When placing the AV equipment on the side of the room at the point where the Projo hangs, I think 5 to 6 meters will do, but than it's hard to use the remote. About HDMI 1.3 : Is the cable always the same? or are there spec 1.3 cables? thanks. |

I'm not positive on this but I don't think HDMI cables are specific to a version. While it's possible new versions of HDMI might send the signal at higher frequencies requiring better quality cables, I don't think that's the case. |

My TV has 3:2 pulldown as long as its detected through HDMI, my PS3 is set to output at 1080p/24, but the TV isn't detecting it. I kind of went cheap on my HDMI cable (30 bucks) and was wondering if even the oldest of cables would support 1080p/24.

does anybody know if certain versions (older) wouldn't support 1080p/24??? and if i got a cheapo wal-mart HDMI cable if that could be the reason why my tv wont recognize a 1080p/24 signal even though it supports 3:2 pulldown?

I spent a lot of money on my set up as well. But until someone can convince me that a cable that is transfering 0's and 1's does it better then another, I will stick with my run of the mill HDMI cables.
