Can anyone recommend a good quality HDMI (1.4) cable that won't break the bank?

Hello Friend, All HDMI cables are ok. I would not pay more than ten dollars for a cable. They work just as good as the high-end cables. Take a look at HDMI cables from amazon or go online for HDMI cables. (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.

I think just a regular HDMI cable would work for that. I'm not entirely positive though, so check me on that.

Go to MonoCable.com and read the detail on 1.4v. They explain the difference between them well. You'll also find great cable at a very good price. I have this receiver hooked up to a Samsung 7000 60" TV and a bluray player that are both 3D. With the 1.4a it works like a champ!http://www.monoprice.com/

Yes, you will need that cable. As to which one is the "best one", I can only go by what I've read - that the difference between a moderately-priced cable and an expensive one isn't much.

Get a video card with DVI output(prob $20 on ebay)and a simple DVI->HDMI adapter.

Did you go with the TX-SR606? I got it a few months ago and love it. It's a bit large but it handles all audio formats, so I'm happy with it. With HDMI cables (as with speaker cables) name brand means nothing. You will save a bundle if you just go with the cheapest ones you can find. Best Buy tries to sell the Monster brand HDMI cables for a hundred bucks or more. That is robbery. I got my three Belkin HDMI cables at Target for $40 each and I paid too much. Just get anything you see that is version 1.3 or better. As far as Blu-Ray goes, the PS3 is the best thing out there. It's a bit expensive though. So if you're trying to save some money, I have seen some good reviews for the Sony BD-S350. The DMP-BD55K looks nice too, as does the Samsung P2500. When it comes to deciding which one to buy, it all boils down to cost vs. benefit.

LOOK for the WORDS in " RETAIL PACKAGING " Etc. !!! I have Bought & RETURNED , many " Monster HDMI " (???) in ZIP LOCKS & Boxes but, NOT " NEW " !!! There are MANY 17.8 Gbps HDMI Cables on SALE due to the NEW 18 Gbps !!! I got 0NE for $30.00 and 2 for $20.00 a month later :o))

any cheap HDMI cable offered from Amazon will do. I bought this TV in early October (from Amazon) and also purchased 2 - $5 dollar cables (also from Amazon). You do NOT need the fancy HDMI cables that cost $100+. For a little reference, advice, see this site, (CNET). http://reviews.cnet.com/hdmi-guide/?tag=pm (i don't work for Cnet or Amazon or any of the vendors, i was in the exact same position as you, and made the mistake once of buying expensive cables. never again, there is no difference in the picture, and my bluray is connected to this tv via a $5 HDMI cable thats 12 feet long. Monster cables that long would run near $200, and it just is not worth the money)

Do yourself a favor and buy a hdmi cable on this website for less money than you can buy an adapter like the other answer suggested.

Lots of info on the wiki link. However, I did not find answers to these basic questions:* Is there a better connection when the ends are NOT gold-plated?* It seems, + correct me if I'm mistaken, that what type of HDMI cable you get (e.g. 1.3 vs 1.4) depends on the device you're hooking up (its type of connectors). Please confirm or clarify.* Also, what is wikipedia talking about when they say that in 2012, then numbers (e.g. 1.4) will have to be removed?THANKS!

Agree on that. I ordered 2 colored, cert Cat2 cables for less than $5 each, plus USPS shipping. Rated for the highest speeds specified for 1.3 HDMI. Cables are shipped out of southern CA.

No, I got a great HDMI cable made by Mediabridge sold here on Amazon. I think I paid $20 for a current standard 25 foot cable. If you are going to say mount the projector on the ceiling or is away from the component you are going to plug it in to make sure that the HDMI cable is long enough. Also if you are going to have it go in to a wall make sure it meets the code for that. The newest cables are necessary for things like 3D, ethernet, deep color, return channel etc.. Depending upon your components these might be necessary but never too high a standard. The cable I got is certified by the HDMI association, has worked awesome for over a year, is as good as any out there and if I were to go to Best Buy or other retail store to attempt to buy the same cable it would cost me probably $100. So get a good one but buy on Amazon so you get a great price on a great cable.

Short HDMI cable, you can buy amazon's HDMI cable which are good quality and inexpensive. TV is worth the price. The picture quality is incredible and I am very analytic.

The 'Wii 2 HDMI' here on Amazon should serve your purpose. There are a bunch of these being made now, but the 'LKV6000' mini from Lenkeng is the best and is $22 on eBay. You shouldn't pay more than 30-40 bucks, I think.

I would use an hdmi to VGA converter, you can find them on amazon for about 10 bucks.
