Allegedly any cheap HDMI cable should do as it's a digital signal. If you want to fork out Ł80+ go ahead, but I'm using a cheaper Ł15 (I think) one from Argos.
I would like to try an expensive one to see if there is an improvemnet or not tho.


PS Just remembered, more expensive cables are meant to be better over longer distances, I think it was something like 5 or 10m, but can't remember.

Quite right, short distance you should be ok with a cheapy cable, longer distances can cause problems, but then again, I've bought a 10m one for Ł18 and it works, whether it works as well as a Ł900 pound one... I'll never know
