Re: Is an expensive HDTV cable really better than a cheap one?

They are comparing $262 Monster cable vs $100 midrange cable bv Rocket fish vs $12 "online" cable and according to the test by CBC guy with all the sophisticated equipments, the 12 bucks one performs exactly the same with the pricey cables. "It's perfect, it can't get any better than this."

But did you guys hear that the CBC guy said: "The images we're sending in to the cable from DVD player output is coming out to the cable is exactly the same pixel to pixel, color to color, sharpness, black level, everthing exactly the same". It's around 7:00 mins in the video. So the guy didn't test with hidef video and audio? Or bandwidth test doesn't matter?

Btw, my HDMI cables are $5 from monoprice.
