From: Peter Roussy on 6 Apr 2010 00:58 I was going to do the same thing with this new system but I didn't know how much of a difference it would make. I'll have to try it now. I was in future shop and a guy tried to tell me there was a difference if you used the fancy gold plated expensive cable. I wasn't buying it, though it did make me question whether there could be a difference in cables.

From: Bob Donald on 6 Apr 2010 10:49 Well, There were alot of tests done on that, and the 4 dollar monoprice HDMI spec'ed out identical to the 100 dollar monster cable. It was funny, when I was looking at TV's last month, I mentioned that I was looking for more HDMI inputs, and the salesman tells me "save yourself some money and buy them online, you'll save a ton of money and our rep came in and showed us that there is no difference". I already knew this, but sure built up some confidence in his knowledge! :) "Peter Roussy" <rugzy(a)telus.net> wrote in message news:Ubzun.1020$Z6.459(a)edtnps82... >I was going to do the same thing with this new system but I didn't know how >much of a difference it would make.

Looks great. Maybe if I was a pro videographer I'd notice something.
