@111olbap pointless, as I would know which cable I'm looking at. Same for the testers of WhatHifi. More expensive cables always look better in a non-double blind test. The only way to test this properly is to watch on the same gear, only switching the cable, and double blind.
HDMI cables do not make a difference. The digital HDMI signal is being error-detected and error-corrected (by parity). If there is a loss of signal, the receiver can simply fix this. As long as the HDMI cable has a big enough bandwidth (and they all do, because it's part of the HDMI standard), there can theoretically be no difference in quality.
Look at this digital YouTube vid. Whichever ethernet cable you use, as long as the bandwidth is big enough, the quality will always be the same.
entry level at £50! these people are off their heads - I got a solidly constructed HMDI cable off Amazon for £0.59 which works brilliantly, which had many user reviews where people had been talked into buying Chord, Russ Andrews and QED cables costing £50+ which had absolutely no difference in performance on their tvs.
@mamifero76 Panasonic, Samsung, LG and Sony all have internet-capable TVs on the market that currently, with HDMI 1.3, require a separate ethernet cable to enable users to access the web and use the extra features.
HDMI 1.4 has the bandwidth capabilities to enable an ethernet signal to be carried simultaneously with sound and picture signals - ethernet is necessary for current internet-capable TVs, of which there are examples from at least four major players
i agree.. 50 pound's DAMN haha.. a normal HDMI is like 15 pound's.. and it is still the same

Its ALL bullshit. There is NO difference between HDMI cables it is NOT analogue
there is NO signal to noise it is just ones and zeros. GET A LIFE !!

@Milan53 Common misconception bro. Go look at the figure 8 pattern tests for various quality HDMI cables.

By the way this makes WhatHiFi in general very unbelievable.

you dont even know the current bandwith of the 1.3.c.
enough to pass hd signal along with anything else u want to put on it.
