What HDMI cable???

Which hdmi was defective Leopard? And what effect did it have?

-Ad-

Probable outcome was thermonuclear detonation!

The exoctic materials and intricate weaving patterns contain soo much BS that this type of detonation is virtually guaranteed!

A white Belkin (plastic finish, not the fabric finish) that I bought cheaply on eBay. It's about 2 metres long and it produces sparklies. It's suspiciously thin, too... On eBay, you win some, you lose some. For what I paid for it, I can't be bothered to spend the time necessary to embark on eBay's convoluted Dispute procedure. It's going in the bin.

All the purple QED Qunex HDMI leads I've bought on eBay have been brilliant. Many thanks for suggesting them to me.

So it produces 'sparklies' on the screen? Thats impossible mate ~ they either work, or they dont

I like the fact that the new cable is $500 and some enterprising seller is offering one thats been "burnt in" for a mere $2500 Also the "what do customers ultimately buy after viewing this item" :rotfl:

Is that the most expensive cable you can get? I found this one at just under £2k

I don't know why this particular lead produces sparklies. It just does. And the QED ones don't. So, whatever the technical reason for this, it's going in the bin!

I think the reason for that is it was originally 3k!!

When any digital cable is very close to its 'cliff edge' (The point at which it completely fails due to an overload in bandwidth), youll get 'sparklies'

Getting sparklies means it isn't working.
