HDMI Cables, what do I need ?

Mick Dundee · 15-05-2008, 12:31 PM

I have just bought a Sony Bravia 32S3000 LCD TV and need some direction as to what HDMI cable is best for me? I will be mainly using it for my PS3, and want the best use of this to be able to play Fifa 08/Call of Duty 4 etc with the best picture.

I have read many threads, and most think that spending too much money is a waste as you can obtain a decent HDMI cable very cheap.

Can anyone help?

Your question is already answered in the many previous similar threads, please don't make us repeat it all again

www.ukhdmi.com is as good a place as any to start.

Mark,

Thanks.

New to these sites. But will look a bit more.

To make it easy for you, if your cable is under 5m then spend £15 max.

again money is not the element, you can even get hdmi 5m for £7.00 its all about specs....

Are UKHDMI ok then? The specs look fine, and the price is right, but do we have any users here who have done tests against 5 star cables that the mags tend to suggest? I'd be happier buying if a member could give me an evidenced review of one of their range?!

Do a search.

Actually, I'll be more specific then (mainly a question for hdmihead). What does the new "N" range add to the normal premium range, at ukhdmi ? Are they just a bit better?
(just that the premium is specifically stated to be used for PS3, and I was wondering if the N was a better version, or somthing designed for a different type of use?!
I'm simple when it comes to hdmi!

N has a nice snake like skin.... we had feedback from customers that they wanted a nice looking cable hence the N series.
