I found out the hard way that the cheaper cables are (i know how obvious this sounds) not as good as some of the more expensive. The difference is in the protection that the company puts into the cable. A cheap cable is not insulated as much as the more expensive cables and the way you position it is important. IE If the cable is left curled and alot of pressure is put on either side then its more likely to rip a cord inside. This happened to my first hdmi cable that i bought for 20 bucks. I went a little better next time but the thing I made sure of was that it wasnt put under too much strain.sthbytesN
HDMI cables are different from other audio/video cables. If you search google there are numerous tests that say a $5 cable is identical to a $150 cable. All your paying for with an HDMI cable is the brand name & packaging. I bought mine from ebay for £1 with £1 postage. Do not be ripped off with an expensive one.
