Those images definitely summarized up this thread nicely.

Same story with HDTVs on standard analog TV antenna receptors. No beefed up Monster TV cable from the connection point to your TV is going to give you a crispier improved image if your TV antenna is too old to receive proper strength waves.

another vote for monoprice. i even tried their wall mount and so far so good for my 52" lcd. 13 bucks bought my own hardware though

but yeah, hdmi cables from mono are good to go

edit- regarding craigslist, just like food, when in doubt, throw it out

Monoprice is all you need. All my HDMIs are from there, and all are excellent.

I have my 360, Blu Ray, FIOS and PC server hooked up to a pioneer reciever, which is hooked up to a Samsung 55" 8000LED TV.

so you rely on consumer products to add value to your self worth and image?

ps, if you went with playstation, you wouldn't need both an xbox and a blu ray

I don't understand what your post means.

If you are asking why I posted specific products it's to show that I have no signal degradation with higher end equipment.

Opinions on HDMIs aren't worth as much if someone says they have an ebay cable hooked up to a 70" DLP from 2004.

[QUOTE=mxt_77,Jul 14 2010, 09:51 AM] OK, I'm not an electrical engineer, but with my minimal knowledge of physics, I'm having a hard time believing this.
