    Sorry, but you are misinformed. Cables can not influence speed of a movie. They simply (although in the case of HDMI maybe “complexly” is a more accurate term) carry the signal generated by a source device (e.g. Blu-ray player) to a display device (e.g. HDTV, projector).

    That said, the amount of data that must be carried varies with video resolution and audio format … so the cable can matter. At short distances almost any HDMI cable will work perfectly, but as cable length increases the demands go up and only better cables will work for high video resolution / high bitrate audio.

    Monster make OK cables, but they are WAY overpriced. See the article at the link for a good review of the issues and real world results with various cables.

    I have a 1080p setup with 7.2 sound that works great … and I’ve never spent more than $20 on an HDMI cable. For short cables see monoprice.com and for long ones see Bluejeanscables.com. Look for Category 2 certified HDMI 1.3 cables and you can’t go far wrong …. and will pay 5-10% of the price of Monster.

    Cables don’t affect the perceived speed of the movie. They are just conduits through which the signal is sent from one place to another. The speed of the movie is determined when it’s transferred to the hard storage (i.e. Blu-ray). The player could play it faster than it’s supposed to, but I would consider that a fault not a benefit. The additional cost of Monster cables is unjustifiable from a performance perspective.

    No. In fact, no manufacturers cable directly affects the “speed” of motion on a display.

    With HDMI cable for instance, the primary considerations are:

    1.) Certified for HDMI interface version (latest being 1.3a).
    2.) Is the cable rated to “Category 2″ specification (also called “High Speed”), which has a 340 Mhz bandwidth, providing 10.2Gbps throughput.

    Generally speaking, if looking for an HDMI cable longer than 15 feet, make sure the conductor wire is of a heavier gauge and adequately shielded.

    Other than that, any remaining cable “attributes” are icing on the cake, such as gold plated contacts, extra shielding, in-wall capable, etcetera.

    For an example of high quality cables that have actually been independently tested to match Monster in quality, but far less expensive, check out the following link for Cable Stockroom:
