...and I had an HDMI cable given to me by DirecTV to connect the box to the HDTV. This is a smaller discount HDTV from Costco. I bought a Monster Cable HDMI cable from Radio Shack, originally $100 on a great sale for about $40. My intent was to return it if it did not look better than the "stock" cable.
Note this article says HDMI cables make no difference...
All I can say is I, my wife, and mother ALL readily agreed the Monster Cable looked better...colors more true, less bleeding, just plain more realistic. They had no idea which was which. I just told them to choose which they preferred. I kept the cable!
The difference was so profound I bet I could take digital pictures of the screen when using each cable and the difference would be immediately obvious.
These sorts of discussions are nutty. If you are happy with the improvement for what it costs, so be it. I have no regrets and do not feel "taken" by the cable company. Your eyes definitely know what looks more real!
Does anyone need me to post pictures to be convinced?
Steve
