Who on earth would need to? You simply install ducting and run the cable through it. If the cable fails use the old one to draw a new one through.

I was thinking absolute worse case if you had no ducting, or if you had ducting and it got well and truly stuck in there. I hope that doesn't happen to anyone.

And I suppose you did a blind test to tell the difference here with someone else switching the cables behind the tv, plus you have calibrated your tv?

How was the picture better at 1080 but harder to tell at 720, i really don't know what you are on about. The only difference in picture quality to give these results would be:

Most expensive = Working correctly = A picture
Middle expensive = Failing cable = A picture with sparklies
Cheapest cable = Broken = Not much or no picture

Have a read up on the links I posted earlier on the technology and also consider that you are perceiving an effect because you naturally expect an improvement based on you knowing the price and apparent improvements of a more expensive cable. If you can define a variety of differences in the picture quality froma blind test between those 3 cables (if all working correctly), then I'l eat all my Blu-rays.

I just used my eye's and ear's.

Also plenty of independent HDMI cable review's & comparisons online.

The difference I have found is with the sound, the expensive cable gives a better sound.

Nah sorry - the sound is also carried digitally. Either it will get to your TV and you will hear it perfectly - or it wont get there at all and you have a faulty cable.

And there we have the sum total of these independent reviews and theory to backup how more expensive HDMI cables can improve picture quality.

Hope I have been of help to the OP

Not necessarily. There can be problems in the digital transmission of data. But when problems occur, they won't show up as some wishy-washy loss of definition or smearing of the stereo image. There will be patently obvious audible glitches that a 5 year old could spot.
