HDMI cables from monoprice a year ago.

The larger gauge cables, like others have said before, are better if you're installing this into walls or running it over long distances.

When you order one cable, shipping is only about $2 extra via first-class mail and without tax too. They arrive within 3-5 days, depending how far you live from their shipping area of CA. They are a much better value than anything you'd find in the store.

I have one of their 35' in wall rated HDMI cables, in conjunction with an HDMI wall plate and 3' HDMI cable feeding a 42" plasma from an HD cable box, and have no noticeable problems picture wise.

I also agree with other posters, with HDMI it either works or it doesn't and Monster brand HDMI cables are definitely overpriced and unnecessary. And so does CNet's experts.

As drjim implies, the larger gauge cables are likely to matter only in longer distance applications.

So buy the cheapest, shortest cable that will suit your needs. Monoprice is supposed to have the best prices in any case, so there's nothing wrong with overspending a bit on a longer and/or higher grade cable to get some "overhead" for your current or future use...

You should not have to spend more then $20.

Larger wires (SMALLER number) will have less resistance (and less signal loss, all else like capacitance being equal), but over the length of the cable you'll probably use, it shouldn't matter. I'd look for one that had the best strain-relief on the ends, and maybe the most flexible one, as it can make it easier to run to have a 'limp' cable.
Are they all about the same price?
