    usually it means the more money the better quality, just like scart leads although some are rediculosly expensive. you shouldnt have to pay more than ?20 imo for a very good quality hdmi lead, basically just shop around and make your choice. regards mdt

      Unless it's a long cable run, i wouldn't waste your money, they wont improve PQ.

      The ridiculously over priced HDMI cables are aimed at pretentious, anal retentive 'audiophiles' who have more money than sense....

      If you really feel the need to 'upgrade', then as long as it's well made/good quality cable you dont need to spend a fortune

      These http://www.thatcable.com/acatalog/in...MI_Cable_.html for example start at a fiver for a 1m length and are excellent quality. I use these as i needed longer cables than the supplied ones...

          no, it carries a digital signal. for example 3d enabled hdmi 1.4 cost anything up to ?80. i bought an hdmi cable from sainsburys for a fiver and it works great
