All HDMI cables (for TV viewing) are created equal...True or False?

more or less. signal is digital.

however, they make different flavors (v1.1, v1.2, hdmi+ethernet, etc.) and different varieties (redmere with thin cable but one-way signal), thicker HDMI to run through walls..

so for a generic HDMI, you are correct. Just go to monoprice & get a $3 one that has the latest & greatest standards.

Practically true. If you don't need anything special or need a thinner cable for any given reason, go with the cheapest, and you'll be fine.


There are exceptions. You're probably not one.

I've had no problems over the years with the cheapest cables from Monoprice and Amazon up to 15 feet long.

False. there are various capabilities depending upon the vintage HDMI standard.
