HDMI, is it really worth it?

[KDF]

Its funny how the first time one of these threads came about most people argued with me saying the £1000 cable would give a better picture.

How peoples opinions have changed.. well except that numpty Chrisjk.

God there are some pub genius's in this thread.

You need a $400, gold plated HDMI tbh.

And then swap all the other connections and componenets internal to your tv and DVD for Gold while you're at it.

Haha, I spent ages trying to work out what the missing letters were... then I realised.. :quiet::nono::rasp:

 

[Chrisjk]

If this is the case with digital what is it in regards to analogue cables?

 

[The Hoff]

Analogue: Better quality cable = Better PQ/SQ.

In which case you'd be correct.

 

[Chrisjk]

Ok cool, guess thats why i assumed hdmi was the same

 

[McBunny]

some principles are the same but its not for you to worry about lol

single av (yellow phono) ftw

True, I've seen them on Play for £12.99 delivered!

Not true exactly as decent high priced ones usually do give better quality, but for what you are using a cheap budget one will suffice.

Wrong, will make NO difference to a digital connection. As long as the connection is made, the connection is made. End.

Bit late, already established that a while back

lol, well I'm still waiting for my lead to arrive!

I've always been a big fan of getting the right cables on my analogue and digital audio equipment, and a different analogue cable can make a MASSIVE difference. I originally had the sh1tty patch cables which were rough, then upgraded to a £15 cable which was better, then my brother lent me a £30 cable which made the cd/amp sound phenomenally better!!

I have the CD hooked up with a £50 cable which is far better quality than the £20 digital coax cable.

Scart cables are similar too. Not too overboard but the old tv was hooked up with 3 THOR Scarts, about £20 each.

I unfortunately applied this theory when I bought my Viera and got a Cambridge HDMI and a IXOS HDMI for the DVD and xBox 360. £30 each. Dont know if theyre any better than the cheap sh!t ones.:dapprove:

See you next tuesday.:banghead:

Cue DK to talk about his £50 cable being better quality than a £5 job.

In fairness, only the people who've spent a fortune on a HDMI cable can see any difference. Weird.

Science is a funny thing

 

[Clart]

if i'd spend £49 more than i needed to, i'd be convinced it was a better pic (although secretly knowing they were the same)

Lovely weather outside today, Id get my bike out and go for a cycle if I wasn't at work

 

[Ali]

Actually after all this i was sat down and shown the difference between an 8£ cable and a 400£ cable! There was a noticeable difference on the same Blueray disk! Enough to warrent the extra cash! Was it b****cks!

I bought an upscaling DVD player and the picture is better not upscaled by the DVD player and using the scart afterall the tv is doing upscaling anyway cos if it wasnt the non hd pic would be in a small box in the middle.
