HDMI is HDMI.  There's no difference in quality.  However, the cheaper you go, the more likely you are to get a defective one.  I once bought a couple $2 cables on Amazon, and one of them produced a vertical line down the right side of my screen.  The other was fine, and I still use it to this day.  Also, if you don't want to wait for shipping, Big Lots has a pack of three for $25.

I've always bought the cheapest ones I could find, and never had a problem.  Monoprice is a great site to order stuff like that from, too.

Since I got burned on that $2 cable, I'll no longer get the cheapest I can find, but I won't go over 10 bucks for one, either.  The high-end, $100+ cables might be the biggest ripoff in the world.  I used to sell them, and the markup was sometimes over 1000%.  Seriously, we would make more in commission from one Monster HDMI cable than we would for some TVs.

Best buy sounds like a decent option, since I have to head that way anyway.  Factoring in shipping, it won't be much more and I wont have to wait. 

Thanks for the replies.

I bought mine at Walmart.
