HDMI cables & PS3 picture quality

[Cymru]

Does the quality of a HDMI cable effect the quality of the picture at all? I'm looking and finding cables priced between £20 - £100!

And could someone recommend a modem for me to use please. Thanks :)

[Greyone]

the quality of the cables shouldn't effect the quality

here are some cheapies

and by modem do you mean a router?

The quality of cables only matters in extremely long runs, and even then, the effect is negligible (according to Robert Heron from DL.TV).

Yeh, router sorry

[Greyone]

linksys routers are good

never had a problem with mine kicking me off or anything (with multiple people on at once)

I also havent noticed any change in speed between a computer plugged into it compared to a computer using a wireless card

I don't know about everyone else but it did affect my DVD Player. I bought a $120.00 Monster HDMI cable and a $50.00 Acoustic Research HDMI cable, and the Acoustic Research cable is terrible, hell the component cables that came with the DVD Player were better than it.

Too late now I've ordered one for £5 lol. It does say that it's capable of 1080p so it should be fine :)

Both of them are ridiculously overpriced.

I bought a £10 ($20) HDMI cable for my PS3 and it's flawless. There's no reason at all to ever buy a stupidly expensive one.

@Cymru: Even tho you don't need wireless at the moment it's always worth getting so that you have one for future use. You never know when you'll need it. It's cheaper in the long run. Plus one less cable to go to your PS3.

Mind telling me what HDMI cable you bought? I would defiantly want to buy a good HDMI cable on the cheap.

Yeah it said HDMI on the package.

Here's how I bought it. Go to Ebay.co.uk (or .com) and type in HDMI cable, hit search. Find the cheapest Buy it now possible and buy it.

How many times does it need to be said that a cheap HDMI cable is just as good as an expensive one.

Yes my good man but you happen to live in the USA. I live in the UK where they like to **** us over with a piss poor exchange rate so that everything is twice as expensive as it should be.

[explosions]

k Super cheap.

or PS3 specific.



What say you, Phil?

[go_2_that]

FYI
the new hdmi cords specificaly state if they support HDMI 1.3a

but, a few months ago, i was flamed by CIARIAN and everyone else here for sayin buy a tv with hdcp. that *** and everon else flamed saying not important / no tvs have it
rooks
(btw copper is copper, but sterling silver is copper and silver)

[Realn0whereman]

if you were flamed by alot of people it usually means that you were wrong or made a stupid comment. ciaran is no rook.

Ehh link? Doesn't sound like something I'd say at all.

I was more than likely saying no TV's have HDMI 1.3a which is still pretty rare. A TV with HDCP is essential if you want to get HD from everything.
