I know a few here are into there AV so a quick interconnect question, is it worth spending more money on a hdmi lead or are the budget ones fine?

Cheap ones are fine. Expensive HDMI cables have been proven many times that they have very little benefit over cheap ones. |

I had a cheap one on my DVD player. Quality was fine, but it failed after a couple of years. The one supplied with the TV is still spot on. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

As above.

As it is digital it will either work or it won't. It does matter about lead quality with SCART leads, but that is because it is an analogue signal that can degrade but still work.

we've just instructred an AV install at a clients office; recommendation from the installer was that the budget stuff would be fine as long as the distance wasn't too great - interestingly the same distance as Jimster suggested at 10m |

The reasons to buy expensive HDMI leads, beyond physical strength, have all the same credibility as those to buy an electric supercharger for £19.99 off ebay. |

yeah as above, its a digital signal so quality does not really suffer unless going long distances in which case a sheilded cable would be an idea, but even then i wouldnt expect there to be much in it. On 28th Aug, 2011 Kean said:

And making sure they have everything connected, only and issue for 3d... I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

There are quality diferences: one DVI/HDMI cable caused my Mac Mini to display artifacts/glitches on my TV, when another (much thicker but also a lot longer) didn't. Don't spend thousands tho 1963 Cooper
