Looking For HDMI Cable

Zolgar

I'm currently using THIS HDMI CABLE to run my computer to my TV, but it has a second HDMI slot so I was going to grab a second one for my PS3 so I'm not constantly unplugging and plugging it back in and just changing the "channel" instead. 

 

I was wondering though, do HDMI cables offer differences in visual quality depending on the brand/price (as in, the more you pay the better picture quality you'll get) or will any HDMI cable do with little to no difference in picture quality change?

 

Thanks tons,

Any HDMI will do, the only difference between more expensive brands is shielding for poor interference environments and mostly just marketing. Matter of fact, visually currently with the age of 1080p, you won't even notice a visual difference between component and HDMI, perhaps very SLIGHTLY less distortion, however it's dismal at best. Grab the cheapest HDMI you can find.

Check Amazon, etc., you can get some cables for cheap that have good quality. I bought a 30 ft. cable for about 15 bucks with shipping included. It is how I connect my TV to my PC and it works perfectly.

Avoid Monster and Philips HDMI cables like the plague.  Their contact area is insufficient and they end up losing contact with the input result in a flashing screen.  Other then that HDMI is a standard for cables.  All HDMI cables must meet those standards.  HDMI 2.0 might be different.
