Lessons I've Learned - Tips N Tricks

[Santy]

"With any long run of an HDMI cable, quality manufactured cables can play a significant role in successfully running HDMI over such longer distances"

I guess that is exactly what I was emphasizing on. Quality matters. However I didn't mean (minimum) quality (that works) is expensive.

Search google images for HDMI sparkles or grains or flakes, you will see some examples. Or check this out
All HDMI Cables are the Same! Or are they Full Test | HD Guru - Part 4373

....its not possible for one cable to look better than another. It either works and you see 100% of the signal, or it doesnt work and you get nothing, sparkles, snow, or flickering.

I reiterate, I am not saying expensive cables are better. Cheap cables might cause above said problems in long runs of 30 ft +. Yes it also depends on the send/ receive interfaces too.

But you call it "lessons learned." Surely the lessons don't stop? Quiet often in life we find we learnt wrong things and we have to relearn.

First upon i dint understand what FM: michaeltrottar intend to say. Second, i shared my experiences (so everyone). It could be right or wrong, the same applicable to everyone. Many FM's share their experiences with an intention not to prove that they are right. Instead, they want to share what they felt & seek more opinions from the experts to understand whether their judgements were right or wrong. Hope the message is clear atleast by now. !!

Few things i learnt,

When buying items like HTs/TVs which have anything to do with audio/video always make sure the models you are auditioning are on neutral or on similar settings. With some dealers i have personally experience that, they will mess up the settings and the otherwise good HT/TV will sound/look very bad.
With HTs make sure the they are in straight mode when auditioning and compare with other brand in similar mode. Then check out all the effects. Some of the dealer will actually mess up settings on a good HT so you feel like ditching it for a lesser selling brand.
