    It sounds like you've simply got the leads in the wrong order - try the different combinations until the colours are correct. But all the plugs and sockets will be colour-coded so it's a bit difficult to get them wrong.

    Exactly, and although I don't know much about A/V equipment I have pretty good common sense!

    The pictures will be just as sharp and the colours just as vivid with a £5 cable. It just won't look as pretty. Sorry.

    Yeah until you tug too hard on your cheapy plastic terminals and they slide completely off the cable leaving them never as tightly attached as they were when you first bought them.

    For the sake of the £3 your arguing about, its not worth the saving tbh.

    Do you happen to sell cheap cables on ebay btw?
