generally speaking, a cable is a cable. unless you get a total cheezoid.
by that, i mean its really stiff and no copper or gold contacts.
hdmi is a digital interconnect. digital info is a stream of 1s and 0s. either they get there, or they dont. they dont degrade really, and if it does, than the 1s and 0s dont get there, and you get nothing(over long distances). I find rca cables are a good in-between. there not cheezoid, but they are cheap, and they get the 1s and 0's to their destination.
Anolog signal transfer is a bit different. Analog signal actually has "integrity". they are sensitive to AC interferance, and can even be affected by coiling it around itself, or magnetic interferance. analog signal will degrade over long distances before it "doesnt get there"
in short(too late), good quality analog cables... but not monster.

You should start your own thread, that's always the best way.

Here is my experience, perhaps it will help.
I got an Emerson 32 inch LCD, a lower cost Funai built set, and a $100 Sony upconverting DVD player which included the HDMI cable. The picture quality from rental DVD movies makes me swear the images are high definition! And I get no variation from DVD to DVD, either.
I now make wide-screen DVDs from my camcorder using Adobe Premiere Elements and this equipment automatically shows the video full-screen without having to make any adjustments for picture size. The image quality for home video is the best I have ever had. Hope this helps someone.

Good info... almost. Funai also makes (at least has) some Philips sets. The exact model of the Sony would help.

I've read where Funai makes Sylvania, too.
The Sony DVD player model is DVP-NS71HP that I got at Costco a few months ago. A friend got the 77 model and likes the performance of his, too.
