HDMI Leads whats Better ??

[charlie69]

I have new tv and want to know your guys experiences when you have bought new tv and connected to you stb etc, I`ve used and am using a cheap hdmi i think i even found one at a pound shop lol.

I`m asking this is there any difference in cheap hdmi lead compared to these that they offer you when your buying a tv at C**ys etc ie the silver or gold HDMI leads would it really make that much difference using cheap HDMI conpared to more expensive ones available and if so can you guys let me know what you use or recommend ??

Thanks

Stick with the £1 hdmi lead, it will perform equally to the ones they try and sell you for £50 at electrical stores. All this waffle about gold plated or shielded is nonsense

for me, shielding would be the only reason for buying more expensive cable. I don't need it, but my friend leads cables together in wall and he needed better cable to get rid of interferences

Hi the quality of the lead goes up with price so the construction is better , screened cable and gold contacts are best against tarnish . As far as the question can you notice the difference between a £5, £10 or £20 lead the jury is out. I have tried a number of different ones and cannot notice any real difference. I do stick with a good brand so I know the quality is good .

as long as the digital signal gets to the other end all is good

Ive never had a prob with the low end ones from fleebay etc
