Monoprice has silver plated cable, I employed "chat" button to ask why no silver plated 40 foot version was available.
"Maybe soon," was their answer.
They do offer a 50 foot version in silver but adding 10 additional feet of unnecessary cable seemed like a bad idea.
If you require 25 feet or less, my understanding is the Monoprice copper is fine. I think the problem comes from 40 foot and longer runs.
Blue Jeans (best) bonded pair HDMI is 23.5 gauge and the Monoprice is 22 gauge. That makes the Monoprice slightly heavier gauge, but not by much.
As I stated in my post 02-08-10, the Monoprice was somewhat better than more expensive Blue Jeans but still performed better when plugged into the Oppo HDMI switch with amp and EQ.
