HDMI cable Hz spec.

Our Sony XBR gave up the smoke earlier this week and I found an excellent deal on a Samsung 40" 610 series 120Hz LCD set which we bought.

While shopping the salesperson mentioned that the quality of the picture will depend on the Hz spec of the HDMI (if using HDMI and we do), his line was that the 3 year old $15 HDMI I am using now will only transmit 60Hz and since we have a 120Hz TeeVee a Monster 120Hz rated HDMI is mandatory.

This smells like BS but my knowledge of TeeVee cabling is basic, anyone familiar with this subject?

Also I have a policy of not buying any Monster product if I can avoid it so a recommendation on a 120Hz HDMI (if needed) would be appreciated.

The "120Hz processing" occurs in the display itself... - SF tech 10:00:36 06/11/10 (0)
