Why do manufacturers continue to exploit people's ignorance of how digital signals work and try to sell cables using terms which only apply to analogue.
The colour of each pixel is represented digitally, and therefore there is no colour shift due to signal degredation, unless the signal quality reaches the point where far more serious problems become apparent.

Someone please tell me that this is more marketing sweettalk!?!
Why would a cable "care" whether the signal is 720p, 1080i or 1080p?!?
