What is the best hdmi cable?

What is the best hdmi cable for use in HDTV,home Theater,and business class projector based applications?

Here is Shadowself's personal experience using cables over the last 30 years, maybe these tips can help you:

1) Never buy cheapest cables you can find.

2) If you are running short lengths(short compared to the "standard" for that cable type/use, for example, some cable standards specify no more than 1.5 meters, some specify no more than 10 kilometers,etc.) then a generic, run-of-the-mill cable is usually just fine. Again, just don't go cheap.

3) If you are pushing up near the high end of the length as a funtion of the standard(e.g., going the full 1.5 meters when the standard specifies an upper limit of 1.5 meters) then get the best cables you can. Even if you have to pay a couple extra dollars per cable.

4) If the "standard" is new (for example, HDMI 1.3 which has a higher bandwidth requirement than HDMI 1.1,1.2 or 1.2a) then only get cables that you can return if they don't work (don't get stuck with non functional cables). A lot of cables run on the ragged edge of standards compliance for brand new standards.

5) Figuring out definitively if any transmission problems are due to the boxes, connections or cables is never easy unless you have a time domain reflectometer in your pocket (or know how to make one out of a signal generator, digital oscilloscope, etc.) so eliminate one possible headache and go for good cables. Think of it this way, if you are connecting a $1,000 box to a $4,000 box does it make sense to try and save $25 or $50 on the cabling?

In my experience, a decent hdmi cable is a decent cable. It needs to accurately carry the signal put on it, and it takes a lot less than some would like you to believe to do this. That doesn't mean 'cheap and cruddy' - it means inexpensive, but decent.

Finally, I suggest you buy hdmi cable from www.gogo-power.com, one that just works very well and is a great price.
