Default HDMI Cable Suggestion

I'm finally upgrading to HDTV. Looking for suggestions on buying HDMI
cable. Is brand an important factor? Where's a good place to buy the
cables? So there are different standards of HDMI. Are these standards
independent from the devices such as DVD player or satellite receiver?
Meaning does any HDMI output support all HDMI cable standards or are
these standards built into the HDMI outputs as well? Thanks in
advaance.

Check these two websites. Don't worry about brand names, it really doesn't matter.
www.monoprice.com and www.svideo.com

Congratulations on ur HDTV.

From I all read and found out about this, HDMI is a digital cable,
which sends data in 0's and 1's. So, like an ethernet cable it doesn't
matter how is it as long as its good cable without any breakage. As for
branded products, I cannot stress this enough. Dont waste money on
them.


That was exactly what I read, and I ended up buying this model for
about $6:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002L5R78

I got it, saw that it looks like a nice sturdy cable (no shoddy
workmanship on the ends or anything), hooked it up and it looks great
to me.

I picked it because it had a lot of good reviews, and because I didn't
want to enter my credit card at another store if I could just go
through good old, familiar Amazon.

Read the reviews.

I too have heard nothing but good stuff about Monoprice.com, but I
swear, on the day I went there, every single 6-foot HDMI cable was out
of stock!

Bought them here! Works great! Fast shipping, too! Ordered them
Tuesday and they arrived Saturday. Right after the HD receiver is
installed! The quality is amazing!
