Don’t Blow Your Cash on Cables
Though salesmen would hate for you to know it, all HDMI cables essentially perform the same. The picture that comes through a $3 28-gauge HDMI cable from Monoprice.com will look exactly the same as the one from that $150 HDMI cable he’s lying to you about. Tales of improved performance, better picture quality, and faster this or that? They’re all false. The digital nature of HDMI means if you get a picture, it’s perfect. If you don’t get a picture, or there’s snow, the cable is broken. More expensive cables may last longer, but if you can make two $3 cables last as long as one $50 cable, you’re still $44 ahead.
