Best HDMI Cable for Video

Looking to purchase a new HDMI cable for video use only. It is not a long run, so I only need about 2-3 meters. I do not want a DVI cable and then have to use an adapter. I currently have a Sony 42 inch LCD but will be upgrading to the new Sony SXRD 60 inch screen. Looking to get a very vivid picture. Note- I already use a passive power line conditoner (BPT Signature 3.5).

Looking for feedback from someone who's actually bought and tried a few HDMI cables.

Thanks,

Sherpa

I agree with the guy ahead of me " BetterCables" are the best.

I went with the Wireworld Starlight 5.2. All I can say is "wow." This HDMI cable bettered my Synergistic Research Designer Reference Component cable. The picture has good image definition and color saturation. Whites tend to be washed but I think that is a result of the TV (Sony 42 inch LCD). Shadow detail was better on the SR, but that cable is $1000. The Wireworld cable was $220. Highly recommended for the price and significantly better than the lower priced cables in the product line. Note- I use the HDMI cable with cable TV, not DVD player.

I use AQ HDMI-1 with DVI adaptor for dvd from Marantz DV8400 to Panny 42PV500 and was and still blown away by the PQ especially the skin texture, the expensive contrast cinima feel. It's actually a model upgrade for aprox US$200 6m. Require about 30+ hrs breakin to see it's potential. Cannot imagine how their HDMI-3 top model betters it. Also highly recommend AQ Cinimaquest antana cable, you will see what you have been missing all these years for reg TV viewing.
