Funny, nowhere in this thread was anyone claiming or attempting "engineering argument." Be careful with your words, this is a forum based largely on user experience so the comments posted herein are exactly that.

If you can tell me why my 30$ HDMI cable would have worse performance than a 99$ Monster cable from Circuit City, I'd be all ears. Until then, there's no discernable difference, IMO of course

Interestingly enough, I've heard the greatest profit margins for retailers such as Circuit City, Best Buy, etc, come not from the expensive electronics they sell, but rather the cables that go along with it, sometimes as large as 200% profit!
