MSNBC: Have you seen HDMI cables online or in stores labeled "120 Hz," "240Hz" and "480 Hz"? It's easy enough to slap such labels on HDMI cables but it's a sham. HDMI cables can no more be manufactured for specific refresh-rate HDTVs than a garden hose can be manufactured specifically to water seeded lawns and sod lawns.
I got a nice 50ft HDMI cable for 25$ and my friend got a Expensive brand 6ft HDMI Cable for about 50$ He still claims to see the difference to this day. I laugh my computer is connected to my tv so niceley.
But this is nothing new history shows there have been scams with cables since cables existed.
Sure there are badly made cables and good ones but they are all the same. Its what machine you are using to connect to and from is when you see the difference.
Maybe once we get 4096×1716 we can see some new cable standards
