Read an interesting article the other day.

Seems it doesn't matter how much you pay for HDMI they are all the same.

Yeah i agree why would a 300 dollar 1.5 m cable have a different picture quality to a say a cheaper brand 69 dollar 30 metre cable, i work at harvey norman i dont notice much of a difference

So if you need to buy two HDMI to send from your Playstation3 to the AV Receiver and then to your TV you would need to spend $1000?

Abit rich, I bought a pair for $150 then found some at Dick Smith's Power House for $35 each.

I have one HDMI Monster Cable for sale if anyone is interested I bought it for $150 only bought yesterday and been sitting on my table if anybody is interested PM me.

$15,000....wow...

Well I'm just saying from what I've read, doesn't matter how much you spend on a HDMI cable the differeance is going to be minimal and this is from a guy that actually works in the feild.

If it saves me afew bob I'm all for it.

Think you can throw some gear over my way mr rich boy

It makes a big difference you notice it. If you have an expensive setup you want the best to go with it. Only the dedicated and enthusiast person will know quality is well worth it.

If he has the money to throw around so be it..but seriously $500 cables is extreme even for a high quality setup.
Do you also drive around in a diamond encrusted car like the royal family over in Dubai?

Ha Ha Ha... $500 bucks for an HDMI cable. YOU GOT SHAFTED. I've got some magic beans you can buy for the low low price of $500 if you want them.

The fact is that HDMI is digital, and it takes a lot of interference to stuff up a digital signal. So a cheap cable will do the same job as a ridiculously overpriced one.

$500 bucks, what a joke.

$500 is a bit much for a HDMI cable buying 2 HDMI cables would really add up. Quality can only go so far

How the heck do i plug the hdmi cable into my tv???


I have a 32" Palsonic lcd (not a top of the line model i know so dont pay me out)as i am not as well off as that $500 cable guy.

Where do i plug the cords into the tele - there doesnt seem to be any port like in the back of the ps3???

My tv is 720p 1080i ready lcd.

Any thoughts?

I spent $170 on my HDMI cable. Could got a $30 one but went for quality instead. Works great with my 42" LCD.
