Hi,
Today I discovered the price of HDMI cables at my local shops. The cheapest are £25, but the 'high quality' ones cost twice as much, even though they're just 1 metre long. Surely this is a rip-off?
I have checked the HDMI specs, and it appears that error correction is used in the protocol. From what I understand, this means that minor noise and interference will have no effect whatsoever on the image & sound quality. Only major interference will cause problems, and these will be very noticeable. I would expect an HDMI cable to either work perfectly well, or not work at all.
Has anyone had any trouble with cheap HDMI cables them?
