HDMI cables - anyone notice differences in picture quality between brands? PC World say otherwise.

Posted by chris.redmond2@bushinternet.com (R) on November 8, 2006 at 12:06:42

I read the article (link below) which basically says save your money and buy a budget cable rather than a 'boutique' brand, but I'm not convinced with their testing methodology as although their tests are extensive, they seem to only test the technical measurents after dismissing subjective assessment by eye because 'other factors such as source, screen etc' could affect the results.

This is total BS as if the same source and screen are used there is no variable, and the whole point of buying expensive cables is to get either a better sound or picture that we can subjectively hear or see.

While not being convinced by the conclusions of PCWorld then, I would still be interested to hear the experiences of anyone who has compared brands of HDMI in their own systems.

Best Regards,
