Obviously some people have more money than brains. * It's particularly
laughable that the short cable is for a digital interface, where the
only objective is to determine if the signal at any given instant is
high or low, ie it matters not a wit if it's 2.2V or 2.5V. *Also, many
of the digital transfer stds have error correction built in.
When I was recently buying a 52" LCD TV at Circuit City, the salesman
asked me if I needed an HDMI cable. * I told him I already had them.
He then lead me over to the Monster cable rack and explained to me
that this Sony TV has a 120Hz refresh rate, so unless I had an HDMI
cable capable of that, it wouldn't work. * *Of course HDMI is spec'd
and actually runs at several hundred Mhz and the cable has nothing to
do with the refresh rate of the screen. *I declined to purchase that
superb Monster cable that cost $135.
While I was there, I saw another salesman sell the Monster cables to
an older guy who just bought a 27" LCD TV. * *The cables were probably
1/3 the price of the TV.
Of course, I was lying when I said I had the cable. * I actually
picked it up on Ebay for $15
