For an answer, try logging on to CBC t.v. webpage, go to Marketplace for previous downloaded videos. About 2 years ago, they did laboratory demonstrations of exact data transmissions between varous (100$+ to lower moderate cost cables). All "certified" HDMI cables tested, before the l.4 upgrades, were equivalent. Pricing with "gold", zinc, whatever, were preferable based on customer wishes to have the "best, most elite" systems--they all worked the same. Is your setup in a San Fran fog/moisture ridden basement--go with gold if you fee salt water corosiion is a concern.
Flea market ripoffs made by illegal copiers are at your risk. Salesmanship matters to the salesman, not necessarily to us, unless we trust the brands emotionally--like Johnston and Johnston (buy any contaminated bandages from them ever again lately), Mattell (buying lead based toys from them ever again), Starkist tuna (buying magets in tuna from them ever again), Sony Playstation games? If you trust the company you buy from, go with it until that they rip you off, and feel confident--whatever price you pay--great or small--Its a good deal for you alone. Go elsewhere when they don't deliver, regardless of their hype.
Secondly, Best Buy/Futureshop/Source--whatever your seller--If they sell me a machine (TV/Amplifier/Computer)--they had best GIVE me the cables--plugs, etc. that make it work out of the box they way it works in the store OR FORGETABOUTIT--SALE WISE. They make a profit and make more by selling your things that make overpriced product work. What next-- buying a plug to connect your tv., bluray, amplifiers or speakers to an electric outlet--except when your travel to "foreign" countries--Canada excluded. Do you buy extended warranties with your HDMI cables as an added cost to ensure our trust in the manufacture's company?
