    Thanks - needed a spare. Beats me why people still pay £20 or more for these in the High Street shops.

    :p

    Amazes me that people will still pay more than a couple of quid for a HDMI cable. My local Sainburys is still trying to flog them for half price at a bargain 22.50! :rotfl:

    Why not? Are you saying these will not do 1080p?

    There are people that think that because the cable is cheap then the signal won't be very good. This is quite true back in the days of analogue (scarts etc) but in the world of digital it doesn't make much difference. Sure, the build quality of cheap cables won't be as good but unless you're going to be pulling and plugging the cable all the time then cheap ones will be more than ample.

    Thanks - basically what I thought, as they are all 0s and 1s...Strange strange strange, spend £1.40 or £30-£50... hmmm... let me think now...
