The Results
None of our editors could tell the difference. The fact is, HDMI is digital, meaning you either get the feed or you don`t. High prices and gimmicks like gold-plating don`t affect 1s and 0s. Our advice: Purchase your wiring online for cheap, and use the saved money to upgrade to a larger flat screen.

The editors at CNET are so confident that cheap HDMI cables offer identical performance, we`ve been using inexpensive Monoprice HDMI cables in the CNET Home Theater Lab for more than a year with no issues. That`s saying a lot, especially when you consider that our video experts are constantly swapping in new products and changing configurations, which means our cables take much more abuse than they would in a normal home theater. We`re also accustomed to making long cable runs, and many of our cables from Monoprice are 15 feet long. We also use even longer 20-foot cables from a generic maker with no appreciable loss in video quality. If cheap HDMI cables are good enough for the eagle-eyed video professionals at CNET, we`re betting they`re good enough for your home theater.

So what really matters between a $10 HDMI cable and $100 (or more) cable? A lot of people will tell you there is absolutely no difference - while strictly speaking there do seem to be some differences, the majority of the markup seems to go to marketing and profit.

HDMI is a digital format - unlike analog, where some amount of noise, or static, is constantly present. A digital signal is basically “all-or-nothing” - you either receive the image in its entirety or not at all.

The price differences between cables that are essentially the same can be incredible. $100 one place, $30 someplace else, and $20 online. The fact is many places like Best Buy only carry a few brands and jack the price up. It`s worth spending the afternoon shopping around for your cables. Best Buy had expensive HDMI cables but cheap Wii component cables. Meijer didn`t have Wii component at all but they had a $20 HDMI cable. Don`t get fooled into thinking that just because you`re paying more you`ll see a better picture, or it isn`t worth your time to check around.
