Good. That means you have paid cheap or got an economical cable. Because, as I posted earlier, I paid about 800 for a two metre length. (But, the cost was only Rs.100 less for a one meter wala)

Can somebody suggest me a VFM highspeed HDMI cable to connect bd player to HD LCD TV. Any other online dealers apart from ebay and deltaperipherals?. How is belkin cable? Thanks in advance.

Belkin makes good cables. You should buy HDMI v1.4 (or at least v1.3) cable of about 4ft length (depends upon the distance from TV to BDP). In my opionion, there is no need to pay more than Rs. 250 for such a cable - and this is also on a very high side.

Thanks for the reply. But belkin cables are not available at that price range. Any other company you prefer?

I bought a gold plated ferrite core HDMI cable for Rs.20 from ebay using some discount coupon. Cable works great. Its a digital cable, will work or won't simple.

One more doubt: Is v1.4 hdmi and high speed hdmi refer to the same cable?
High speeed HDMI is the industry talk for Version 1.3 (10Gbps and above).
1.4 is one step ahead of it.
But, This article I posted elsewhere just now says as follows....
Also causing confusion are the evolving standards set by HDMI.org as it adjusts to new features offered by device-makers, such as the proliferation of standards for "surround sound" or color depth.
If your Blu-ray player uses features new in version 1.4, you want your TV to meet the same standard. But aside from defining a separate high-speed standard, and the recent addition of special versions that integrate an Ethernet cable into HDMI, "nothing material has changed in the cable" since HDMI was invented, Denke says.
So why buy his $22 cable rather than his $4 cabl
Go read it fully in that thread.

Yeah i was, actually the cable was for Rs. 220 (inc shipping) i bought it using Rs. 200 off coupon. Cable is robust quality with ferrite chores on both ends.
Are you sure it was Rs.20 only? Sounds like a steal
