Just bought a Monster Cable Ultimate Speed HDMI Cable

OP, you can afford the better cable if you help me out. My uncle works in the government in Nigeria. He has $20 million that he needs to move out of the country. If you help, you get to keep $2million of it....

I'd rather save my time and be sure that I won't have to run back to the store by getting a great cable from the get go. I value my time much more than that.

A fool and his money will soon part. The great cable you are buying isn't great. It's normal with a terrible price.

My inferior HDMI cable from monoprice gave me herpes... and mono 🙁

In other news, Big Lots now has 10' HDMI cables for $8. I LOVE that store 🙂

With any digital cable, it works or it doesn't. There's no "in-between" that is determined by cable quality. You could soldier coat hangers to the contacts on your HDMI devices and it would do the same thing as a $250 HDMI cable.

in fact, they tested this here

a good read and hilarious. I'm for the it's a digital transmission, either you get it or you dont. None of this artifact shiat that people are talking about here. Thats why digital is a much better medium for transmission than analog.

no, no, no, no

You do NOT either get it or you don't. Sure there is nothing special about digital, but if a cable is not up to snuff then you have a good possibility for errors.

Well yes and no, a cable can cause signal degradation true. You also either get a signal or don't. That signal CAN be affected though through a cable.

That being said my 10' monoprice HDMI's are wonderous and I have not had an issue because of them yet.
