Time it right and pick up a 3-pack of 6' cables for $4.
Nuff said.

$7 isn't exactly cheap (or expensive). I've seen them go for $3 before. And it's true; $100 Monster HDMIs work the same as those $3 ones, but look prettier. They're ALL made in China, so it's a moot point.

Yup. It's 0's or 1's, most cables (or is it the standard?) also have some type error correction. It works or it doesn't.

Now some would argue that the shielding of the cables has something to do with quality depending on if you are running them through your walls, interference, blablabla. But I'm not convinced. I have cheap monoprice cables as well as the Monster M series and see no difference on my 50".
I'm not an electrician, but the interference thing is true through for wires. Usually though, it only interferes when there's a large power source or power cable nearby, not with walls and random things. Most of the time, it's impossible to tell.

edited out cables.
