HDMI Cable

Hello there 8888 · 2009-01-25 17:57:49

Hi everybody, I'm looking to pick up a good quality hdmi cable at a nice price. Its not needed straight away so i can wait for one from hong-kong if it's worthwhile! I've been told that picture/sound quality is the same for every hdmi cable regardless of brand-is this true? What price range should they be? Any help/links…

i picked up a .75m HDMI cable from argos for €7. wee bit short but does the job for PS3 to 1080p tv.
Its mentioned on some thread that the cheap ones do the job up to 5m (or so) if your running it a distance over 5metres then you need a more expensive one.
dont fall for saleman talk!!
