There actually can be a difference with HDMI cables, but not generally with shorter cables(sub-10ft).
Longer lower quality cables can actually artifact at higher resolutions. For example, I've got a 25ft cable that shows green spots on the screen when used at 1080p, but works fine at 720p. I have a slightly higher quality 25ft cable that handles 1080p flawlessly. Mind you when I say slightly higher quality, I mean I spent $30 for a 22AWG cable vs. $20 for the 24AWG cable. No need to spend $100 on an HDMI cable, that is just ripping people off.
Could not agree more
I use a 25 foot HDMI cable without any issue but it is thick as hell some were around 10-12mm thick which makes it near as thick as the cable and is triple shielded and claims to be able to handle more than 1920x1080.
There is a limit on whats good and bad although $10 HDMI can be good or bad due to build quality like how well the hdmi plugs are connected.
To me there is no reason to spend more than $30 on a HDMI cable unless your not lucky in finding a good 25 foot one for less. I got mine on a sale.
To me go for brands that you know people had good luck with unless there falling for the Monster BS which i hated even in the analog days as i found that they strangled the sound..
