[QUOTE="shfle, post: 557530, member: 42208"] Whilst it is true that good quality analogue cables (Scart/component etc.) show major improvements over their cheaper versions, this is not the case with digital cables. The more expensive ones will obviously have a good build quality and have better quality control, which will lessen the chances of getting a duff cable (Is this worth the huge price hike when in the slim chance that a cheap one doesn't work you can just buy another one and still be quids in?). The extra shielding is irrelevant to about 99.9% of users as, unless you are building a nuclear reactor or something in your garden shed, it is extremely unlikely that anything will be strong enough to affect the data transmitted through a 6ft digital cable from your TV to DVD etc. Unless you are needing a cable the length of your house (When there is possibly a slight case for using a more expensive cable, as there is more chance of faults in the actual build of the cable) then there is no need whatsoever to buy an expensive cable. As I said before, if you are just connecting your TV to a DVD, Mac or whatever through DVI/HDMI you will see no benefit in picture quality at all. Buy the cheapest one you can, trust me the picture will be exactly the same as it would through an expensive cable. Please listen to Slow91crx and myself, we are not codding you, honestly. [/QUOTE]
