Idiots with too much money who spend big money for a contractor to do a nice entertainment center.

I didn't watch the video but perhaps this handles more bandwidth?

From what I gather, quality analog cables are worthy of higher prices. HDMI, its digital. IE, zeros and ones being transmitted.

Your basic HDMI 1.4 or 2.0 cable from monoprice will be fine.

I see your $1000 and raise you to $13k

When I first bought my Sony Bravia XBR, the guy at Circuit City tried real hard for me to buy an HDMI cord that cost about $200-$300. I laughed and grabbed a cheaper cable. I think I paid $60 or so but for a longer cable. Looked just as nice and works the same.

We need a money smilie. I thought paying like $25-30 for a 12 foot cable was a little pricey.

Yeah, digital cables work differently from analog cables.

There was an article called the "digital cliff" i read a long time ago back in high school. Talking about optical cables at the time. TOSLink.

Basically, if the cable is X feet long, it will carry the signal perfectly for X feet. You still have bandwidth issues and other things.

When the digital signal fails, it FAILS. You don't get snow or static. You get a completely garbled signal with pops and drop outs.
