any hdmi cable by Belkin / Pure AV are good.

Grey series = Good

Black Series = Better

White Series = Best

pretty much any hdmi cable will do for hd ready tv... the quality of the cable only really affects 1080p tv's that want to run Blu-ray / HD Gaming and HD video's

I've always been a fan of QED cables, Chord and Van den Hul.

Currently using an HDMI SR series lead between my Denon DVD player and Pioneer plasma.

Not going to go into the differences in quality though as there are people out there that still believe everything the mags/reviewers/receivers of bungs tell them!

All I will say is I won't use anything less on my TV/DVD combi as I notice a difference in quality

im not really after a super dooper mega picture but as the new tv doesnt have a SCART socket, i thought i might as well get a half decent hdmi cable
