great hdmi cable....archives

HDMI is pretty new.
The choices are few.
I have a common Audioquest 2 HDMI
Kimber, Monster are other known choices
Just remember the connection 'talks' from the sender to the receiving end. So always turn on the sender AFTER the receiver end is on and to the right selection the FIRST TIME. (Or anytime the connection is disconnected or the units are unplugged.) or you will have trouble.
The greatest difference in picture quality is a good powerline conditioner. IMO.

elizabeth- meaning turn on the tv first and then the dvd player, did i get that right? and thank you for your recommendations....i have everything plugged into the shunyata hydra for conditioning...

elizabeth- what sort of trouble?

www.bettercables.com. Great prices and their cables are as good as any others.

Elizabeth, having numerous HDMI/DVI connections, I can say the only time I ever had an issue was when I broke one of the connectors on one of my HDMI switchers.... What are you using that you have to do as you describe??? You should not have to turn things on in any order, nor make the connections in order either.
