Does the brand of HDMI cable matter that much?

Hello all, I know this may be a "no-brainer," but I was curious if the quality of the HDMI cable really makes that much difference. Obviously monster cables are very expensive, but are they worth it? Any thoughts or suggestions would be great, thanks!

There is a quality difference, but it's so small you'll never notice it.

Monster Cables are severely overpriced. Buy your cables from MonoPrice.com.

Where are the mixed opinions? For the price and especially for HDMI cables, Monoprice is all you need.Makari

Well, it just appeared to me that some people prefer the very inexpensive brands and others prefered the ones that are a bit more heavy duty and thus more expensive. To tell you the truth I am a bit still undecided, but I guess its only a cable, not the actual component I'm using it for so its a more minor decision.GoldenBuffalo

There is no difference between brands. For it is a Digital Signal, there is no margin for error. Either the cables work 100% or they don't work at all. It's digital for gods sake.-CheeseEater-

I recommend reading at least an overview of how digital signals work. The idea that a digital signal either works or it doesn't is completely, totally, utterly false.

I'm not suggesting anyone purchase the most expensive cable they can afford. I'm simply pointing out the fact that both digital cables and signals possess a margin of error, and a cheap (quality) cable may enter that margin sooner than it should.
