does using a $20 Belkin HDMI 1.3 cable make any difference in picture

and blu-ray player to the TV.

And why do you think there would be a difference ?

It's one of the oldest scams in the business. Buy the cheap one. Any
*ultra-minute* difference is going to be inaudible or invisible.

There's cheapo, industry standard, premium and ABS, for Audiophool
Bull***. Paying for premium cable gets you more rugged connectors,
better strain reliefs, and thicker jackets.

Not always. In fact I've seen the exact reverse on occasions.


If you are doing convention
and tradeshow work, reconnecting your equipment a dozen times a year,
it's worth the price, but you will never see the difference in the signal
and the price isn't dramatically higher than standard. $115 for a short
HDMI cable puts it solidly in the ABS bin, along with the infamous $480
wooden volume-control knob and those little "cable elevators" that keep
the speaker signal from leaking into the floor.

Disgusting pieces of crap. You forgot Skakti stones and the Tice Clock btw.
