i have some land id like to sell some of you


on a related note, hdmi cables are hdmi cables, shielding, better quality compontents, moon rocks, and baby laughs, none of these will make one cable perform better than another, digital signal either works or doesnt, there is no middle ground, older analog cables, ok MAYBE, but not to the point that monster cable wants you to believe

but i know the human condition, so as i said, i have some land for those of you who want to dispute me

If you see a degredation in image quality and the cause is an hdmi cable it will be visible as artifacts on the image. It isn't like the picture gradually gets worse the shittier the signal is. Usually you will see 'snow' on the image or it will completely go out.

That. We had a setup with a really long (25m) DVI cable and a bunch of adapter-mess to a projector in a seminar room and there was snow on the image at higher resolutions. After replacing the projector with another one not requiring adapters anymore, the picture was fine.

IMO, about $5 is a fair price for a 3-6 ft DVI or HDMI cable.
