HDMI cables transmit DIGITAL data….0’s and 1’s. So, the data is either received or not. In most cases, in most homes, you will not see any difference between a $150 HDMI cable vs $30 HDMI cable. I get my cables from cableguys.com and my picture is beautiful and saved $120. Also, I have read articals in Popular Science that have done tests $150 vs $30 cables and they also concluded the same thing. Get the $30 cable and spend 120 on more movies…

I just bought 2 Plasma TV’s at Circuit City. They have a retail price of about $145.00 for MONSTER HDMI Cables. Seems crazy to me, but they said the quality is needed to make the TV’s look their best. Is this just a sales job to get suckers to pay that high price. Where can I get good quality cables/Brands at a reasonable price?
