Replacement Plasma Cord, Shielding???

I want a longer Power cord for my 58 inch Sammy plasma. The only HDMI it touches is the one that goes from tv to processor, so not the source hdmi cables. Therefore no audio is going to tv obviously.

The one that came with the tv is a 6 foot shielded right angle cord. I went to my local parts store (u do it electronics) and they have the right angle cord but it is not Shielded and it is not UL listed i believe. Not sure if either of these matter???

Should I be getting a Shield power cord??? The gentleman at the store claimed it would not make a difference, not sure if he realized my set up of course.

If so does anyone have an suggestions for a right angle shielded option??? RAM had some custom made ones and it would run aprox 60-80 with shipping. Am I pushing it with the one from the local store??

thanks all,

David

First, thanks for the responses!!!

Second, I have found a right angle replacement, it just is not shielded. Same 18awg as the original, just not shielded, and sounds like the shielding wont make much of a difference, especially since no audio is being used from the hdmi that is in proximity.

In regards to upgrading the cable quality, that was not really even on my radar to be honest. I was more concerned with shielding worries, which appears to be over thinking on my end.

Now a question:

I had my Plasms professionally calibrated my a very well known and highly acclaimed professional, so not sure I would want to enhance the colors with a high end cord since they appear to be great. Does that make any sense?????

Now in regards to my processor and amplifier, maybe I should upgrade the cords.... that I am still pondering.

thanks again.
