Gold Plated HDMI Cable?
Im about to buy a Hdmi cable, and was wondering if there is much difference between normal cables and the gold plated cables available? Its a price difference of £5 for the non-gold plated one, but if its worth the extra price then fair enough
Thanks

what, buying the cable altogether, or buying one with gold plating?

![]() Get the cheapest one that long enough (the exception might be if you needed a really long cable (you don't) because then there might be problems with a cheap one working at all). |

With digital its 0's and 1's - it either works or it doesn't. Theres no variables.

ive got prowire gold plated hdmi, but thats only because i was given it. only real reason you may need 1 is if your running it over silly lengths. but basically everything above correct about digital sig
or if youve got a hell of a lot of tv's or wires and your getting quite a lot of noise comming thorugh, they help with that as most gold plated 1s have noise reduction protection thingy around the wire |
