HDMI cables: Can somone explain?

Retailers will always try to tell you that Monster is best because they make such an enormous amount of profit if you buy that $99 cable. Think about it, if you owned a retail store, would you rather sell a $10 cable, or a $99 cable. You can't blame them for trying but "buyer beware" is in order. Lifetime Warranty? Seriously, for $99? Considering they are 10x the price of what a quality cable should cost, the lifetime warranty is irrelevant. If you would be willing to pay 10x the price of a blu-ray player or any other product, I'm sure they would offer a offer you a lifetime warranty on those too. Monster has the retailers sucked in because of how much potential profit there is to be made. "buyer beware"! It's all Monster marketing. And they are super good at it. As to your second question, there is no such thing as a 1080 cable. The only differences in cables are Standard Speed (Category 1) and High Speed (Category 2). The difference between Standard Speed and High Speed is that High Speed is guaranteed to throughput 1080p. Standard Speed may also throughput 1080p but it is not guaranteed to do so. As to "Hertz" or more accurately "refresh rates", the refresh rate is done inside the TV. The cable has nothing to do with it so long as it is capable of throughputting enough information so that the TV can receive enough information to refresh at the specified refresh rate. That said, any High Speed HDMI cable is capable of the refresh rates of any TV currently being produced. While that may change in the future, to my knowledge it is simply an irrelevant consideration. @Russell, you should not accept a distorted picture. It unacceptable and, assuming you have confirmed its the cable and not the dvd player or the settings, clearly you should call the people that sold you the cable and get it replaced free of charge.

With HDMI cable, probably yes... I said probably because some HDTV (old) may not work.

Double check the HDMI cable with another device to verify the HDMI cable is good.

Very likely depends on which connection (VGA, HDMI, CoAx. The plug could be loose. I've had zero problems with mine, but doesn't mean it can't happen. Also could be the wire itself. Tty testing it on something else. MurryChristmas

OK; now I'm understanding why I was confused. My TV has a VGA input, so the the composite cable was not a concern for me.

I bought these cables primarily because I needed cables that were much longer than cables which came from components I bought(ie. cable tv, HD Tv etc.). I constructed my wall behind where the TV would hang as such, so that I can fish the longer cables behind it-so that they would not be exposed- not necessarily because they are "better" than HDMI cables I already had. Having said that, I will say these cables do seem to be of better quality than cables I already had. They work great. Hope that helps.

N Singh, or anyone who is technical :) What is the practical significance of it having HDMI 1.2 vs. HDMI 1.3? Am I losing anything with HDMI 1.2?

I guess my cables are HDMI Cables. I looked up Hiteker on amazon and found pictures of the back of this Tv and shows where the cables go. I will keep looking. I have a picture of the back of tv but can not find where to attach a photo on here. :(

I have had similar issues and thought it might have ben the monitor itself... the problem is that the HDMI cable was moving ever so slightly as we manipulated our rig and the weight of the HDMI cable itself helped it to wiggle out just a little bit and lose connection. Nothing a little gaffer tape couldn't fix. After figuring out what was going on we have yet to see it lose signal again.Hope This helps!

Do you mean HDMI? HDE connections are for gamming devices. This is very different from TV or VIDEO devices.
