You would need to have been keeping up on recent threads to understand this.

It's actually quite witty.

Imagine you're at ground level.

HDMI cables are the latest high margin item to try and up sell.

Along with extended warranties, pointless accessories * and anti-virus for iPads.

A HDMI cable is the conduit for binary, basically a series of 1 and 0, they either get through the cable or they don't so the notion of a £70 cable being better than a 99p shop one is stretching it

I think the way it fits in can make a difference.

99p ones sometimes with my laptop connected to TV watching films can go blank and you have to fiddle with it. But a decent £6 or £8 one like this one I bought

Seems to be fine.

Gold plated are MUCH better - especially if they are sold with copper bottomed lies by a brass necked salesman....................
