Which are best? Gold plated £50-£80 ones or will pound shop do?

No noticeable difference Steve. Digital signal incoming doesn`t degrade outgoing regardless of "quality" of HDMI cable. Another consumer rip off

as long as the cable is rated the same, or higher than the device, no probs, eg HDMI 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 which I beleive increases with the bandwidth they can carry, so blueray 3d films need higher, dvd lower, so get the cheapest 1.4 cable you can find, job done.

Well...according to 'experts' on watchdog and again on shop secrets this morning, it makes not a h'apporth of difference what you use. Digital signal equals 1 or 0, and even a piece of kitchen foil will do the job.

[Jimbob]

apparently numbers are now out the window...

1.4 = Highspeed with Ethernet.

Pretty sure I got mine from here for a couple of quid.

To confirm...I didnt mean spend a fortune, just get one rated enough for the job, likelyhood is even the £1 shop ones would be rated enough, if someone paid for the testing.
Ive used £1 shop ones, for a couple of people, and the connector quality hasnt been great, theyve done the job, but they aint quality....spend 3 times that, and you wont be disapointed....£3

To emphasise - it can make no difference, its is digital and either connected and working and not working. There is no in between state where cable quality can make any difference.

I have a couple of gold plated ones on my home cinema. One of which gives a missing line of pixels through the scrolling banner on sky sports news.

Wiggle the cable, line disappears for a while, as the info comes through. So there's quality involved somewhere. Just not sure where, exactly.
