Query: Ordered 4 of these, 1 failed after 7 months

I ordered 4 of these HMDI cables for my new entertainment center and have been using them for about 7 months now. Recently, when playing DVDs, the picture would go black for a few seconds and sometimes the DVD player would display an error saying the device it's connected to isn't HDMI compatible. (Obviously, I hadn't changed anything.) Some technical discussion forums pointed to the HDMI cable as potential root cause.So I bought a more expensive cable (Belkin) and replaced the one between DVD player and receiver. The error went away. Now I'm of course worried that the remaining 3 cables may also fail at some point. In future I may spend more on cables to avoid issues like this.
