So guys, ano nga yung difference? 

No difference, though some branded cables really look good...
but it just performs the same as those generic ones...

tapos some "branded" are merely rebadged generics.

For all who said there is a difference?  So what is the difference? How can you tell the difference?  Don't get me wrong guys, I just want to know.

I think it all boils down to marketing haha.

For me there is a substantial difference. When I bought HT, i was so overwhelmed by the expenses. I initially started on buying generic hdmi from cdrking which was about 4 sets. (Video out to AV; BD to AV; Xtreamer to AV; PS3 to AV).

In about a months use, I noticed that there was intermittent loss of sounds in the course of movie watching and playing of ps3.   

I brought this issue to the attention of pdvd masters in one of the old threads here. The suggestion was check the hdmi cables. It was then i found out hdmi cables were indeed the source of the problem. There was signal loss once every so often.

A good friend of mine here in pdvd was kind enough to lend his high end hdmi (audioQuest). For a time, the pq improved, the sound became more firm and there was no sound loss anymore.

However, i again experienced the problem soon. I suspected the problem emanated from the generic hdmi cables I was still using. It was then that I got rid of all the cdrking cables and bought Belden Blue Jeans hdmi cable from A Audio. That solved all the issues until today.

That's the difference from a working and a non-working HDMI cable, the "difference" being referred to is video/audio improvement which theoretically should be none.

+1.

All things being equal in terms of product durability, how could a "high end" HDMI cable deliver better performance than a generic or lower-priced one when HDMI cable technology (meaning, ALL HDMI cables) already enables 100% lossless audio-video transfer?
