v1.4 cables (if we can call them that) have the following ability over v1.3 cables:

> Ethernet channel
> Audio return channel (ARC)
> 4K × 2K resolution support (4 times 1080p)
> Dual stream 1080p 3D

Other than the above there is no difference between v1.3 and v1.4 cables and your picture and audio quality will be identical.

Spend enough to get a cable that's not going to have crappy contacts (I've had those cheap ones for £1 too, a couple are still working but most failed on me due to poor build quality_)
I ended up spending about £8 on some nice braided v1.4 cables that are still going strong.

I think the most i have spent on a HDMI cable is £3 and that was for one 5m in length connecting my media server to AV receiver.

Ive got about 6 of these around the house.  :happy2:

Picture isnt too bad now and then.

I should have bought the 1.5m version instead, as I seem to have big rolls everywhere, behind units  :stupid:

What am I like?  :rolleye:

Pricey cable considering the 4k TV to go with a proper v1.4 cable is only circa £25k

Morning folks,

One for the home AV experts here. Anyone recommend a decent HDMI cable to hook my my PS3 to my TV?

The current one i have is a cheap £1  jobie from Amazon. The last few months, the picture and sound would cut out intermittently for a few seconds and then back on. Ive read a few people who bought the same cable are having the same issues.

Just doing a bit of research and this cable from thatcable.com seems to get good reviews:

Anyone else recommend a cable they use? (looking around the £5 mark)

Thanks

Rich

what tv do you have??

maybe look at updating the TV's own software, and download the update to USB stick..

I wouldn't of thought its a cable issue, nor your PS3.
