Difference of a cheap HDMI cable to expensive ones

Hi,

 

If you are planning to buy a HDMI cable, always go for an expensive, good quality cable. The connectors of the expensive one will be gold coated and this reduces the contact resistance. Also, since there are many lines in the HDMI cable, a slight difference in the signal propagation between the lines will lead to poor video quality and hence the usage of a high end video technology will be compromised because of using a cheap HDMI cable.

The usage of cheaper cable can lead to unnecessary spikes which may damage the hard-disk or any associated hardware including the Motherboard

Cheers.
