Don't Waste Money on Expensive HDMI Cables!
HDMI, mkvXstream, Hulu Plus Next time a salesmen tries to sell you their super expensive Monster or other pricy HDMI cables, quickly head for the nearest exit.  There is no difference in picture quality between a $100 HDMI cable or a $10 24AWG CL2 Silver Plated High Speed HDMI Cable available from Monoprice. Read their reviews and you will find a common trend. Their $10 HDMI cables are an amazing deal and the money saved can help pay for a new media streamer.

When longer cable runs are needed,  give their larger  22AWG CL2 Silver Plated Standard HDMI cable a try. After using 50 feet of this cable along with their standard 6' HDMI cable, I have perfect picture quality without signal loss or sparkles at the highest HD resolution of 1080p from my HTPC. This saved me the cost of having to buy costly and troublesome HDMI repeaters.
