    We talking HDMI cables? providing they support the same version of HDMI (1.3 at min?) then a cheap one is just as good as an uber expensive one.

    Agreed. My olds went currys recently and bought a Tv (very nice it is) anyway the bloke that sold them the tv also convinced my dad to buy £100 worth of gold HDMI and scart cables.

    I was fuming, went down the store and the bloke refused to come out the back office. Got the money back and made a complaint. his words were "you cant get true HD without these"

    Tossbarge.

    I'm glad you went and played hell, it's shocking that shops can get away with B/S like that. Either because they don't know about analogue vs. digitial, or because they want to sell expensive pointless leads . Either reason is as bad as the other.

    My olds are fairly Young hearted, Hence 50 inch Panasonic TV. However they are still olds and to be taken advantage of in that way is not nice.

    Curry's = Booooooo!!
