Here is a great article comparing the low cost generic HDMI vs the high
priced (Monster Cable) HDMI cables. Basically, there is either no
difference, some people found the monster cables pulled out of the
appliance easier than the cheap ones.

I don't buy Monster cables unless they are the only one available.

Phillips makes high quality cables at about half the price. And the
packaging is easier to open without getting a hernia.

When I bought this computer, I didn't realise I needed a HDMI cable
for the fancy video card I bought. So, I went to Best Buy and Circuit
City to get a 6' HDMI cable.

So I looked online and found a ton of HDMI cables for sale here and
there - all about $7 to $11, but it was going to take at least a
couple of days to get them, so I decided to take a trip to Best Buy
and/or Circuit City for a 6 foot cable - how much more could it be
right?

$99 dollars for the exact same cable I got from Global Computer for
$6.95.

No wonder Best Buy is making money. :)
