HDTV Gurus, I finally took the plunge and updated

Do the HDMI cables from Cablesforless work as well as the MONSTER ones? 16 bux versus 119...

120 seems very high for just a cable? any other cable company recommended?

HDMI is digital, unless you are really exceeding the standard spec. length there should be no detectable difference.

Run the cheap set with mine and I havent one problem and picture looks great. Got mine from parts express btw.

digital is digital, so no, no difference other then $100.

provided the cable is up to spec bandwidth and length wise, you'll be fine with the cheapest one you can find.

Monster cables (while actually good cables) are severely overpriced. Severely as in 500%.

www.monoprice.com is also a great source for cables.

John just got an affordable HDMI to DVI converter ($24) to replace his expensive Bluejeanscable one.

He says he's getting the same quality picture as far as he can tell.

I've ordered from cablesforless a couple times. Good experiences.
