If you want the best sound and picture from your cable box to your TV, you must use a high quality HDMI cable. I buy Mediabridge ULTRA Series HDMI cables and have been very pleased with sound and picture. If you buy a 4K 3D, you will have no option but to buy the best HDMI cable; after all, your buying one of the best TV's. On a side note, the cable from your cable box anf TV set should be as short as reasonbly possible.

You can't go wrong with a Mediabridge cable as these incorporate all the features of the more expensive cables without the price. Not to mention they are an American company.

Honestly ,I bought my Mitsubishi 3D ready tv in 2008,spent hundreds of hours and dollars and to this day have not been able to watch 3D on it. I just up and bought a new LG tv and began immediately to enjoy 3D. You are risking good money on a bad idea.

That sounds strange to me. Mine does none of that as far as I can tell. Perhaps I'm not as perceptive as others. So I may be wrong. But when I play 3D movies or games and others are sharing the experience I've never had anyone complain, and they are all over the room at various angles. If mine were doing those things I would not be happy at all. I also own an LG passive 3D led television. It has none of those issues either. I hope that you can find some resolution. Good Luck.

I purchased 1.3a category 2 certified 28AWG 6 ft hdmi cables through monoprice that work equally well with the Steren gold-tipped video cables provided by my cable company. The cable guy told me they are equivalent, and I would agree with that after having compared them myself. However the cable guy did also tell me that optical audio cables would be needed to match the quality that hdmi cables would provide. I do not have a surround sound system so can't judge the difference on that. Ultimately I went with the hdmi cables because there is only one plug on each end and so simpler to disconnect and reconnect if need be. PS I also compared top of the line Monster Cable HDMI (over $100 each!) to the monoprice $5 cables and couldn't tell any difference. This is on a Sony 1080p xbr4 120hz tv with a Playstation 3 for Blu Ray/dvd player. I say if component cables work better for you, go with them.

hi, I bought LG 55inch LW5600 system a month ago, I'm very satisfied with video and 3D quality of this system. I also bought BOSE Cinemate II speaker system( it's a 2:1 channel speaker system ). The sound that comes out of Bose is remarkable, but I had problem following vocals and dialog from Bose, it was not clear, I returned Bose System. Is it possible to tweak the audio output of this TV system? Someone mentioned setting the audio output to HD worked for them. The bose was connected via optical output from the TV. Now, I'm shopping for home theater system and a receiver altogether in around 1000$ range. Please suggest what audio speakers and receiver are compatible for this TV?thanksvista_CA hi, I bought LG 55inch LW5600 system a month ago, I'm very satisfied with video and 3D quality of this system.

Read this article: http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/news/pn64h5000-201403143657.htm. It does the best job summing up the TV. Yes, when I am 2 feet from the TV you can see the honeycomb effect. I don't watch the TV at this distance. At 5' it noticeably less it and by 10' it is not noticeable at all. Admittedly it did bug me a little at first every time I would walk in front of the TV, but now I am fine with it. Movies have been awesome and I didn't have to shell out over $2k to get a 240Hz LCD of the same size. I didn't need a smart TV w/my Blu-ray player and have an Onkyo TX-NR818 in a 7.1 config for sound. I definitely prefer the plasma refresh rate with no ghosting with fast action on the screen.

I find that it adds more depth to the sound. I have the TV you described, and the bar gives a crisper more defined sound. It does not compare with my 7.0 surround system, but it is a very good alternative.

No, it does not. Some advise, don't be fooled into buying "High" quality HDMI cables, they are no better than low cost cables. Amazon has some available in different lengths that are very good, and at a low cost. I have yet to see someone show me that a high quality cable is better, I've never been able to see any difference at all. All the hype is just a way to part you of your hard earned dollars.

That really depends on your own hearing. But over 99%of people would hear no difference when extending the cord. As with all things analog, the better the cable the better the signal. If you are worried about sound distortion, try and find a better "premium" cable.

No, this cable is designed for 4K upscaling from a 1080p or 720p source running at 24Hz. It will only slightly improve 1080p and depending on your source probably degrade the image quality. Unless you have a 4K tv, I don't recommend this cable. The color capabilities of your tv are set in stone and only the source can be adjusted.

No, not for this price, but I am very impressed with the signal carrying capabilities. This cable is heavier than other name brands that I have used and For standard hd 1080 I think the picture is fantastic. If you getting into 3d and something that is very demanding and critical of signal loss, maybe you need to get into redmere cables, but they are very pricey. I wouldn't be afraid to try this cable first. I am using 2 of these in different locations and Im using a 48inch and a 60 inch Samsung tv. The pic is great/////

The only difference is the length of the cable. As for performance wise it really would not make any difference. It is a very good cable, excellent to say the least. Great construction on the cable and it performs very well. And yes there is a difference on the video end or tv display. It is solid copper, not copper clad cable. I have used monster cables for quite a while, mainly for my tv & home theater set-up. From HDMI Cables & fiber optic cables. And also the monster cable < cat 6 > for my internet to my pc & as i have AT&T; U-verse i have the monter cat 6 from the moden to the u-verse set top box. And the picture & audio is excellent. Go ahead and use monster cable, as you will not regret it... The only difference is the length of the cable. As for performance wise it really would not make any difference.

the big difference is optical can not handle dolby true hd and master audio, so go with hdmi, its also simpler and more standard, however, almost no tvs have audio out via hdmi

I use it for my 50 inch seiki and its works really good for up-scaling the PS3, its noticeably better when I use the U-vision cable. For instance GTA5 is 720p but with that cable its gets marked up to 1080p. Also works great for streaming stuff on the PS3. With my Directv box it doesn't do anything, its still 1080i. For my laptop it works wonders because my laptop is 1600X900 display that cable will mark it up and actually allow you to run at 2160P so when you stream youtube 4k ect it is 4k! And 4k gaming is pretty insane looking and didn't notice any lag at 30hz.

You want to use a in-house speaker system for sound. The sound is just ok, a little tinty and on the high side for the TV itself. I run everything through a Sony STR-DN1040. There is and advantage to my setup, the STR-DN1040 does upscale to 2160 at 30HZ (4K) which this TV can display. . So any blu-ray I run that was recorded at 24hz will upscale to that 4K.I get a great picture. True 4k is supposed to be 2160 a 60HZ, but I have not seen any issues with mine.

I can't say how well these cables work for plasma 3d TV's because I own a LG LCD 1080 HDTV. I can say that they have worked exceptionally great with both our TV and Blu-Ray player. If your not sure about these cables ,I suggest that you do more research before you purchase . I hope that what ever cables you choose ,work to your needs.

Same with what Kyle B. said Anand. This is just an extension cable, it doesnt improve existing sound but it is good enough to keep it from degrading which is the usual case when buying these types of cables.
