My graphics card (GeForce GTX 295) has a HDMI slot, so we bought a 35foot HDMI to HDMI Cable and connected it from my computer to my HDTV. After a few size screen adjustments, my HDTV was now acting as my monitor. However, when we wanted to play a music video full screen thru iTunes or YouTube, the screen freezes but the music plays. What can I do to fix this? I just got my HDTV and wanted to use it as my monitor at times for music videos or movies.

But I notice no change with video images when I use my Blu-Ray to upconvert and utilize dubbing cables in lieu of component cables. How do the mfg's of component cables instruct those inflicted with "color blindness" to make the connection? HDMI is great for 1080P only. But I

I purchased a 65' HDMI cable with a repeater to get from my Plasma to my media room where the Cable box is located. Unfortunately, none of my HD channels work now, but all regular channels do.

Although I have not read every response here, I have seen enough to get the idea that people are only looking for certain benefits with their cables. I am a long time audio enthusiast, and can verify without a doubt, that cables most certainly do make a difference. Maybe video cables are different. Maybe most people aren't as concerned about getting the absolute last drop of performance for their expensive electronics. I do know that even digital audio cables do not all sound the same. People that state otherwise may not have the equipment to fully realize this fact. Maybe they are not as discriminating as they think they are. For me, it took some years in the audio hobby to fully hear all of the different aspects of a complete sound experience as well as the sometimes subtle differences between products. Without having a more developed taste, it is hard to realize the capability of the items that we search long and hard to purchase. As far as the HDMI cables are concerned, I am sure that there are differences in sound reproduction even if the naked eye cannot differentiate picture differences. Also, are there not anomolies in lower quality cables in reference to length as well (over 3 meters or so)? This has kind of reminded me of where the doubters of audio cable benefits first started. The true issue is knowing which cables are worth the extra money and which ones are merely mark up products.

I have it hooked up to an HD DVR cable box. I also have it hooked up to a Toshiba HD-A20 HD DVD player. Both the cable box and dvd player are connected to my LCD via Monster Cable Ultra 1000 HDMI (1.3 and 1080p true signal). There is no way that a $10 cable will perform better than a $130 cable. NO WAY! Do your research and look at how the cables are constructed. <strong>Already answered. Thanks for your feedback.

HDMI is a new venture for me having stuck with analogue up to now. I have over the years played with many cables in my hifi, but have kept this witin reason and have never spent really silly money in fact, ihave often bought second hand. have i noticed differences, often yes, better, well Only I can say that as you would have a different opinion depending on what you like. I see HDMI to be less critical in its demands for quality of cable, however i still ensured i had prchased a cable of decent construction and with effective shielding. Did it costs a fortune, no, nor was it dirt cheap either. I am happy that I have bought a decent cable it works very well and I am sure it will have a long service life. I am not sure that the dirt cheap cable would do the same and give peace of mind, also I am sure, that spending 20 times as much would not give 20 times more picture quality or last any longer. But I am happy with what I have bought and may be that is all that matters at the end of the day.............. I have considered computer networks as a source of reasoning in this debate, My office network uses very high quality heavily shielded cable, for very good reason, this would not be needed in my home and a waste of money. Why would I need different cables in these applications if they are doing the same job after all they are sending only '1' and '0' too....... Hello everyone.
