You said "I prefer to buy the best"... Which means you're either completely uninformed, falling for a sales pitch... Or a combination of these two to form a blind cluelessness. There is no "best"... It either works, or it doesn't work. A digital signal either goes through, or it doesn't. That's why there's no fuzz if you use rabbit ears. You either got the picture, no picture at all, or a frozen picture if you lose signal while watching. A $1 HDMI cable is totally identical to a $100 cable.
