Anyone recomend the best value for money 10m HDMI cable?

Hi all,

I have my new PS3 set up with my other kit (amp, freeview) in a cupboard in another room.

You can get under our house easily so I run all cables under house direct to screen. Leaves a great wire free minimalistic look I love.

Ive just got a PS3 and until now haven't bothered with HDMI.

I now need an HDMI cable to reach 10m (33ft).
I am not rich so dont want a cable costing 6 billion pounds. I love value for money. So if say £40 gets me the best picture to money ratio then I am happy with that. Much better than paying £200 for 10% more or £1 for a cable that offers terrible picture and defeats the whole object.

Can anyone please suggest the product I need.

Many thanks

Mickey

Hello Mickey123

HDMI is different to analogue video - with HDMI you either get the whole image, no image, an intermittent image, a green screen or an image with very obvious problems (sparkles).

As you go approach 10m your relying on the installed cable not causing enough of a voltage drop to cause any of the potential problems outlined above.

Lots of folk will tell you they get perfect sound and vision with relatively inexpensive cables - others not; its the combination of Source, Cable, video Signal format and Sync device (Display) that determines what will work and what wont.

Ensure you give any cable you purchase a good test in your set-up at all required resolutions before you 'install' the cable - a cable that works perfectly at 1080i50 (SKY HD) may 'fall apart' at 1080p60 (Blu-ray).

Media Factory - Bettercables HIgh Speed CAT2 HDMI cables, 1m to 12m.
