Thanks for taking the time to do this test. I've seen similar tests done for audio cables (especially speaker cables), which can get just as expensive as video--some people spend 30-40% as much on cables as they spend for their loudspeakers. If they would look inside their amplifiers' speaker output circuit and wiring inside their speakers, they would be astounded to see 18 gage or smaller hookup wire. To some of you it may make sense to run 12 gage or larger wire between your amplifier and speaker, but a blind test like the one Rich did here may surprise most people.
As for your results with video cables, Rich, it seems to me that evaluating picture quality on a 19" or smaller computer screen is impossible. For those that think "C" is the best quality picture, it would be interesting to see what they would say if you changed the order around before revealing the cables used.
I predict there will be no discernable difference with any of the cables no matter what the screen size. It would have been interesting to throw in some Radio Shack or other low-cost cables for comparison, also.
Let's hope this prompts some people viewing this forum to spend their money on items that actually make an improvement, like a better monitor.
