Now puzzled.........big difference between them?

Hi there, for my case, I'm just using a generic hdmi cable for both my PS3 to TV and from PC to TV. Its doesn't make any difference for me. I've tested with my friend's monster cable that cost much much more expensive and I couldn't tell any difference in quality between the 2 cables. My TV is not a very large one just bout 37" HDTV.

Like this article, got to share with fren! Thanks byteyou!
Hi TS,
Just for your reference,
I have bought two HDMI cables from ebay, one for my camera and one for my soundbar. All of them under 10SGD each, and working fine.
Just one point to take note, if you are streaming HD content, then HDMI cable is a must, but I have notice that if I played DVDs, it does not matter if the cable is HDMI or normal composite video cable.
cheers,
i tend to agree that a digital signal is more robust and harder (not impossible) to degrade than an analogue one. However, the other factor not mentioned is the construction of the cable itself. i've had a cheap digital cable whose plastic parts near the connector just fall apart after a few month's use. This was in a situation where the cable was frequently plugged in and out and has some wear and tear (game console sharing screen with computer). So if your cable gets plugged in and is left untouched for years, i'd say go for the $10 version, but if you foresee a need to physically move the cable around a lot, a branded/stronger-looking one might be a better choice.
Thanks for the info everyone.
Currently, I am in Malaysia. This is what I found out...
Tesco is perhap the cheapest around 3M cable selling for $19.90 ringgits = Abt $8 Sgd. This is the one I am using right one....so far so good ;p
The Samsung guy advised me to go for Belkin 1.8m (6 feet)....saw it selling for $129 ringgits = $50 Sgd. It is Oxygen-free copper and 24k gold plated.
