Make sure that the cable that you choose is within specification for the length and resolution that you intend to use. Then try any cable that uses Molex plugs. They give a very positive connection.

I did however play devils advocate on another forum where a couple of chappies said that a cable made no difference to the image quality of the image and myself with an open mind tried to proove them wrong. The conclusion was that the image quality was either going to be as intended or was going to suffer from noticable defects such as sparklies or total failure. From a purely theoretical aspect using the HDMI specifications, there was nothing that I could find where I could find a situation that would cause the cable to produce a 'slightly less vibrant image'. This relates to the video side of HDMI. I did not spend any time looking into the audio side.

So if an HDMI cable provides an image without noticible defects such as sparklies, the the image quality will be exactly the same a a similar functioning cable.

I suspect that the above will cause some controversy.
