[QUOTE="KenMasters, post: 1166486, member: 517"] HDMI cables do not support different technologies, they only vary in bandwidth - the pins remain the same. It is the HDMI hardware that varies in capability. If it has the necessary bandwidth to carry the signal, the picture is the same as any other HDMI cable. Indeed, that is what happens when the cable doesn't have the bandwidth needed to carry the signal. It either works properly or it doesn't. HDMI cables do not apply downscaling/upscaling. Your wife is right. By capturing the output of a pattern generator, Blu-ray player or other source device over HDMI and comparing the same output over any other HDMI cable. Sampling pixel by pixel, comparing frame by frame, output will be identical. Because it is not based in fact. [/QUOTE]
