I have one that was included with my Panny DVD player. Is there a noticeable difference in quality if I dump $100 or so on a new Monster HDMI cable or something?

Re: HDMI cables

I seriously doubt it. HDMI is a digital format and therefore should be fairly impervious to differences in cable. However, you might find that the Monster has better build quality or offers a more secure connection. You might buy one from Best Buy or another vendor with a generous return policy to see which you like best.

Re: HDMI cables

Agreeing with Wayne—it will either work—or not. As long as those 0s and 1s are making it, you should be fine.

Re: HDMI cables

Unless the cable you have is not functioning properly, there is no reason to replace it. Also, there are better cables for the money than monster.
