I read somewhere that there's no difference between a
£1 basic and a premium brand £££ HDMI cable, because of what they actually do

Is this true?

Got one from Amazon last week. 5 metres for £3.78 delivered or thereabouts. Cant tell the difference between that and the "premium" on I got previously for a heck of a lot more. Recommend it.

as i thought, probably not much to tell between cheap/expensive to the "normal" man in the street.

As I mentioned earlier, I'm sure it's something to do with whatever goes through the cable.

It's not like audio or speaker cables, where quality matters

I paid £5 for one out of Argos but I can't compare it to any others. It does the job for the PS3.

Good luck in your quest.

It depends on your audio and movie systems.

If you have a shyte system then a ceap cable will do just fine, although you will still notice a marked difference when you upgrade, however if you have a top cinema system then it is pointless not laying out another £50 for a decent cable to get the most out your system other wise you should just have bought a cheap system and saved yourself a few grand.

Basically, HDMI sends a binary signal - 0 or I. The bits arrive or they don't, quality is not an issue.

Don't waste your cash on an expensive one.

That's it Occam's Razor
Something to do with binary

I thought I may have been thinking about another type of cable
