You don't have to spend $150, and since this isn't the cable forum.

I get to ask:

Where's the proof for the hugely better picture from "voodoo-science" interconnects?

While video signals are in the megahertz range , and a really cheap/non-shielded IC might look bad, spending that kind of money is ridiculous.

Try a Radio Shack "Gold Series" IC or even an Acoustic Research brand video cable--I and two friends did and couldn't see a difference between those ($32-$40) and a $90 set of Audioquest's on my 27" Philips.

Beware of the "hi-end" cable company's marketing bullshit--it is totally out of control nowadays. And little, to no, solid scientific proof of their product's "adavantages" over common-sense products.

Video (and audio) can be a really fun hobby--don't let this weird "I think-I-see/hear-it-but-have-no-real-proof" stuff ruin it.
