I can understand why most people who do an actual trial think there is no difference between HDMI cables for video quality.

When I first got my high end Sony backlit LED TV, ISF calibrated and so on, I purchased a series of expensive HDMI cables from Nordost, QED, Chord Company and others, and I really could barely tell a difference between them on video quality.

It was only until I purchased a Mapleshade Vivlink Plus HDMI that I first experienced a video quality improvement, and noticeably. But the Vivlink is a fragile construction bordering on the ridiculous (like all of Mapleshades products), and very susceptible to noise related issues from whatever it touches.

So I have always wondered how the latest Wireworld Platinum Starlight compares. Its good to hear reports of Video improvement from the Ultraviolet, a very affordable cable indeed relative to speciality cables.
