    Have you learned anything from this thread?

    I would say that he was the first person to make the "quality" joke that always arises from these HDMI discussions.

    Hence the :pac:

    They have HDMI cables here that have 1 x 90° connector (which is all you need really).
    Prices are the following for the different sizes. There are also many more sizes available.

    1 Mtr = £1.85
    2.5 Mtr = £2.60
    5 Mtr = £4.99
    10 Mtr = £7.49

    Use Parcel Motel for free delivery :)

    Actually, I needed a 270° connector, people should check that before rushing out to buy a 90°. Anyway the nearest Parcel Motel is 50 miles away, Lidl is 500 yds.

    I needed a 270° connector too. Got one of those 90° ones but when I tried to use it, the swivel head was pointing the wrong way. Needed those extra 180° to turn it the other way.

    This thread should be renamed to:

    "2 euro hdmi cable - good, more than 2 euro hdmi cable - bad" :D

    Anyone know if this cable is v1.4? My old v1.3 HDMI cables won't carry a 3D signal image from my media box to my TV because it isn't rated for it.

    It says suitable for 3d on packet. I got the last 3 in Dundalk today!

    Was in Lidl Greystones today and they had plenty of them....also some 6-socket non-surge protected trailing sockets. Got one of each just in case they run out :pac:

    Couldn't find the 270degree ones as previously mentioned - would have come in handy cause my TV is turned upside down :P

    2E shop all thae way, buy a spare one if your dubious about one breaking after a couple of yrs
    I bought 2 spare ones, as you can never have enough HDMI cables, esp when anything that uses them rarely comes with one!

    While test equipment is excellent at tracking control errors or ensuring data pass through, no computer can compete with the human ear when it comes to perceiving the subtle but crucial audio errors and distortion that can reduce the enjoyment of your home theater system.
    FFS

    stuff that uses HDMI uses Forward Error Control
    you either get 100% of the audio bits at the receiver or you fall off the digital cliff
