[GRLUG] hdmi cables

[Lee]

It can come down to the grade of copper used in the cables.  Better cables will have better bandwidth.  For digital signals however, I doubt you would notice anything. If a few bits get lost, there is enough error correction that you shouldn't notice anything.  loose to many and the picture will skip.  I personally buy the $5 hdmi cables off of amazon all the time. 6ft in length and don't have any issue with them.
