Mixing HDMI cables??

[jase fox]

Im using a QED SR HDMI cable from my bluray player to my amp & then a Vivanco (cheaper) HDMI cable from the monitor out on the amp to the plasma. My question is by using two different HDMI cables would this have an effect on picture quality or wouldnt it make any difference?

Are you absolutely sure because I have serious reservations about this........why?...........well here's why.....

Samsung Plasma TV (1.2 HDMI version compatible) and DENON DVD 1940 ( 1.1 HDMI Version compatible) connected via QEDHDMIP 1.3 cable =Lip Sync Problems when watching DVD's......

Now.....both the TV and the DVD player are connected by 1.2a HDMI cable and I am not experiencing any more Lip Sycnh problems if my Casion Royale DVD is anything to go by

Incidentally the 1.2a cable came with my HUMAX FOXSAT HD FREESAT box yesterday and when I was reconnecting my system I decided to see if the cable HUMAX had included in the box would work to resolve my Lip Synch between the TV and DVD Player.....and it did

Now I know it shouldn't have had any effect.........but it did

So now I don't have to worry about expensive tweaks to resolve the problem with audio delay AV amps etc.

I intend to go out today and see if I can actually get my hands on a better quality 1.2a HDMI cable

Ladies and Gentleman, welcome to Tallyho's Grand Theory of HDMI Lipsynch - I think we'll be reading a lot about it in the coming days and weeks.

The answer to the OP is no, by the way. I'm not saying that different cables don't make a diference, or indeed getting sucked into that argument again, but no, using cables of two different brands won't create problems.

I haven't difinitively said that these cables make a difference have I?...........I'm not the expert!.....You are!

I'm just giving you my story....no grand theory expounded here

You say above that :" I am not saying that different cables don't make a difference" implying that perhaps certain versions do?

I agree with you when you say that that different Brands of cable won't make a difference but it's possible that different Versions of HDMI cable could make a difference in some cases when the TV, AV amp, DVD Player are compliant with different HDMI versions.

And don't worry............You won't be reading a lot about this in the coming days or weeks..........not from me anyway

I think we can all agree that HDMI is a deeply flawed "standard" that we live with because of the potential of its results, rather than anything to do with its usability.

And don't forget the HDMI port (design and seating of) and handling (HDMI 'handshake') of the kit itself can create its own headaches - it's not just down to the cables....
