If something (ones and zeros), then you have a perfect picture. If anything, there's no picture. When "Transition Minimized Differential Signaling" 2 signals are out of phase 2 wires and sent superimposed and tested at the end. Only shortly before the so-called "cliff", ie the point at which the signal breaks off at great lengths, image errors can arise. However, this is a lot further away than 6m as in this cable. It is quite normal to assume that expensive means better equal. And who wants to save on the cable if you have already 1000 spent on the flatscreen? Monster takes advantage of this to sell overpriced cable. Those who supposedly see differences to cheaper cables or hear the talk just a - of course, who wants to admit even to have wasted 200? In normal distances a normal HDMI cable sufficient importance of proper workmanship. The house brand of Amazon is eg very good and costs one-fiftieth. Those who want a little hochwerigeres appearance, just a bit drauflegen needs. But if such a price for an HDMI cable pays, who also buys beaming toilet bowls made of gold - pretentious, but do not provide höherern value.
