Most likely, all of the cables reviewed have come from the same factory.  $50 is not very expensive for an HDMI cable.  Our company has done extensive testing on high-end cabling with great sources, and accurate display devices.  There is in fact a difference in color balance, black level, detail (or sharpness), noise level and perception in depth of field.  This is exponential above 5m in length.  So much so, that compensation (or EQ) is mandatory to maintain full bit strength.  We offer products from MIT and Tributaries that will solidify these comments and provide a new level of performance, should your readers choose to go beyond generic, mass-market cabling.<br><br>Sincerely,<br><br>-Damien Kutny<br>Chief Technologist<br>Overture: Ultimate Home Electronics<br><a href="http://www.overtureav.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.overtureav.com</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Damien Kutny]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 24th 2009 12:30PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Don't Spring for $50 HDMI Cables --Those $10 Ones Are Just As Good]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/04/07/dont-spring-for-50-hdmi-cables-those-10-ones-are-just-as-go/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/04/07/dont-spring-for-50-hdmi-cables-those-10-ones-are-just-as-go/</guid><description><![CDATA[I hope you're trying to be funny....<br><br>Even if you are, this sort of comment isn't helping - plenty of people are still paying way over the odds for 'premium' cables.<br><br>If you still want to blow a wad of cash on a premium cable, look out for things like:<br> - flexibility<br> - durabilty<br> - cable length<br> <br>(and even then, most people don't care how flexible or durable a cable is)<br><br>The only thing you should not worry about is picture quality. HDMI cables carry digital signals. The signal either works or it doesn't (like a DVI/USB cable). Would you pay more for a USB cable to improve "color balance, black level" when transfering photo's from a camera?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Darkstar]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 25th 2009 4:25PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Don't Spring for $50 HDMI Cables --Those $10 Ones Are Just As Good]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/04/07/dont-spring-for-50-hdmi-cables-those-10-ones-are-just-as-go/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/04/07/dont-spring-for-50-hdmi-cables-those-10-ones-are-just-as-go/</guid><description><![CDATA[My HDMI cable was $2.50...Amazon.com FTW]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cody]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 29th 2009 12:02AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
