HDMI cables:really work?

Posted by: Nuno Baptista on 26 September 2009

Do you believe that a brand cable HDMI improves the TV image ,or is it non-sense spend 60€ on an IXOS HDMI 1.3,for example?Some guys say that´s all 0 and 1,and even an expensive cable doesn´t improve the TV colours

I believe it makes a difference but is not worth the extra cost.

HDMI cable differences are all about data bit rates; try an old spec cable against a G1080 and see the diff.

The diff between brands is negligible but as length increases the diff becomes very more noticeable. My old office set up had 15m cables, and when I changed to 1080 spec, it was undoubtedly convincing.
Quality between brands depends on what you perceive as quality, high gloss, multi coloured terminal ends, carbon fibre cable sleeves etc. do not do much for the TV, but 9-Zero copper & non-PVC dialectric does

Forget the known brand names and do yourself & your wallet a favour and get a Mark Grant cable. His www is closed until 7 Oct, but satisfaction will be guaranteed when he gets back, and his mail service is second to none.
