Hdmi Cable's

[Naeem]

Im planning on building my own rig and need some help with cables for my monitor.

 

Does it matter wich HDMI cable u take in terms of Length/width, and does it matter if its Gilded or not?

 

and howmuch would a decent HDMI cable cost?

 

thanks for helping (:

• no it does not

buy them as cheap as you can possibly get them (my one was free, but generally, no more than £5 for a 2m one)

HDMI is digital, so there isn't the sort of signal degradation you get in connections like VGA over longer lengths of cable, which is analogue. The only thing more expensive cables will give you is better strength, therefore potential for greater longevity, but it's better to just buy a bundle of cheaper cables as it is unlikely they will break.

Anything around £5-£7 would be a decent choice, but with digital cables, the cheaper the better really as there is no difference in performance.

Like the others said it doesn't matter. However, if you're constantly plugging/unplugging the cable it would be better to get a gold plated connector but not necessary.

I have a HDMI cable on my gpu and it is nothing special just something I got on sale at walmart :blink:  and it works fine. B)
