HDMI Cables - Just the facts ...
Please use this thread to consolidate links to factual articles about HDMI cables, objective testing of HDMI cables etc.
Please do not debate the topic in this thread, just post the links.
It doesn't matter if the tests show that there are or are not differences between cables, both are welcome, the important point is that the tests are not based on subjective opinions.
[Important note added by admin : Different HDMI cables do not affect the quality of the picture. FACT. Reviews stating that cables produce a 'more natural image' or 'better colours' are complete rubbish. See this video for the latest info on HDMI 1.4 as of July 2009.]
This thread will be heavily moderated and debate will be removed, let the tests speak for themselves.
I doubt there will be many links at first but over time hopefully more can be added.
If you are looking for the differences between HDMI versions check this link :
HDMI :: Resources :: Knowledge Base
Links for approved advertisers on these forums who supply HDMI cables can be found below, along with their forum names. Any other approved advertisers who wish to be added to the list please send me a PM.

Re: HDMI Cables - Just the facts ...
I think we should include the avforums videos on HDMI cables in 'just the facts', especially the first one
HDMI Event Part 1

Re: HDMI Cables - Just the facts ...
The thread is stuck right below this one, but no harm in pointing people there from this thread as well.

Re: HDMI Cables - Just the facts ...
QED have published an article on HDMI on their site. No mention of improved picture.
QED HDMI article
I wonder how long it will be before a certain magazine stops trying to tell us that you can better colours, detail by using one cable over another though.....
