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!
No disrespect to others opinions.........but I have to go with you on this one.
A wire is a wire....(the electrons will flow from one end to the other) sure we can make the connection more corrosion proof, (gold), but the bottom line.... more expensive does not nessesesarily mean better picture. (as the old saying goes, it's always easy to tell an engineer, and you constantly have to tell them)
