I had this argument with a staff member in Currys a few years ago when buying a Blu Ray player for my dad for Xmas. He started on about paying £200 for a machine then getting shoddy pictures because i did not have his "higher quality" £49.99 HDMI cable. The debate got so heated i left the shop and bought the Blu Ray player on Amazon where it was £40 cheaper. To this day the player is still being used with a £1 Poundland HDMI cable. The quality of the images is excellent.

As pointed out there is no such thing as a higher quality HDMI cable just a higher priced one.
