hdmi cables?

[darkdezigns]

I can definitely tell you that there is no difference between cheap HDMI cables and pricey ones. I've got 2 computers that can output to well over "true HD" and 3 different 1920x1280 screens. I have a range of cables, varying in cost from free (in the box with free-sat), to a 5m HDMI cable that cost about £60. There was absolutely no difference in visual quality. I generally dont put sound through the cable though, I'd drive it separately through a surround system or even a stereo amp.

From a tech point of view, the major difference will come in the capability of your devices to transmit and receive signals. If you have a branded TV and keep it out of drafts you should be fine.

Over time dust gets blown onto the circuit boards and into the internal heat-sinks, just like your computer. Unless you fancy dismantling your appliance every now and then to vacuum clean it, its generally better to keep all electronics out of a draft.

[edit]: the end result of the dust cloggin the heatsinks is that the chips start to malfunction and fail from over-heating, effectively cutting short the longevity of your appliance.

Could be much less than that if you keep it in a draft. 2 years or possibly less if you dont vacuum your house every day!
