HDMI Lead for 3D

    Having been less than impressed with the 3D features on the games and Blu-rays that I've watched and played recently, I would like to know if the purchase of a lead such as this (http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/9356315/Trail/searchtext%3ESONY+1.4+HDMI+1+METRE+CABLE+WITH+ETHERNET..htm) might make a significant difference to my playing and viewing experiences.

    I realise that the topic of HDMI leads has been covered many times before, but my question relates specifically to 3D performance capacities. In such cases, are some leads superior to others?

    Thanks in advance . . .

    The HDMI lead passes data , thats all , 3D is data just like any other signal , the cable will make absolutely no difference to the picture , 3D or not.

    3D requires nothing special in terms of the cable , 3D actually uses less bandwidth than some forms of 2D.

    The vast majority of 3D titles are processed into 3D after the movie is shot , this usually sucks big time , as you have found out.
    3d Titles that have the wow factor are shot in 3D , ( Avatar , Monsters V Aliens ...precious little else ) and theres probably less than 10 titles like this on the market.

    You join a quickly growing group of people who are finding out that this 3D thing is largely overpriced hype , and not worth anything like the money it costs in terms of new players , glasses and new TV's.
