HDMI cables are all the same?

[Marco]

no, its geared to THIS SITE.

Indeed... I.E the WHOLE of it.

So let us say you had a newbie join here, keen as mustard to spend ex amount of pounds on an HDMI cable, you guys are going to say go for it as it will make a difference?

No,
As a subjective forum we'd say "Don't believe everything you read on the Internet, try it for yourself, see what you think."

Well, if he or she asked for advice, they'd be given recommendations for cost-effective HDMI cables we use ourselves (to great effect) in our own systems. Read the relevant threads here, particularly from Gaz, to give you an idea.

They certainly wouldn't be told that it makes no difference whatsoever because an 'expert' says so!

Can I ask who did the calibration and why you had it done please?

Honestly?

I'm happy to tell you and would recommend to everyone, he's top of his game and happy to share his expertise (YouTube 135K+ subscribers)

I had it done because my Sony A1E OLED was a game changer in image quality and wanted to exorcise the niggle that I could possibly make the picture quality even better.
Was purely a box ticking exercise and my thought was it couldn't do any harm.

But...
not sure if your question has the same well meaning intent behind it I had when I replied to your posts..
or frankly, if your just a Troll.

By the way, asking for a friend, are you the same Dr Winston O Boogie that was on Wigwam?

So again I ask if a newbie comes along and is going to pay say £100 for an HDMI cable the guys on here are going to say go for it as you will clearly see a difference?

They may do. If they had made comparisons that led them to think one cable was more satisfactory than another.

So-called experts. Kevin Miller, the top man at ISF. David Mackenzie Hollywood and film authoring expert also ISF qualified, Samsung, LG engineers, and rooms full of leading ISF/THX experts.

They may be experts in their chosen professional field, which I don't dispute, but they're not 'experts' at telling anyone here which HDMI cables they should use. *That* is the key bit you're failing to get.

You need to understand that on AoS we use what *WE* think works, regardless of it being endorsed, or otherwise, by an 'expert'.

I am Sgt Pepper on Wigwam.

Not trolling but genuinly interested as I know most of them.

You had your TV calibrated, but you say the HDMI your using improves that yes?

Yes they are as they are the ones who advise TV manufactures and HDMI standards on various questions regarding PQ.

They may do. If they had made comparisons that led them to think one cable was more satisfactory than another.

Then that would be very bad advice.
