I felt compelled to post here after reading that somebody bought a "hundred dollar" Monster Cable.Your typical electronic retailer will push these cables pretty agressively (i.e. "You just spent thousands on a TV and now you won't spend a $100 on the proper cable??") These cables are a ripoff. I got my HDMI cable for $18 online. I suggest you search. All HDMI cables have to meet certain specs, whether they are $15 or $100.And yes..my HD picture on my Panasonic is awesome, $18 cable and all.
