If memory serves me correctly, you can only benefit from the 1.3 HDMI if
both the TV and the Computer card support 1.3. I am enough out-of-date
on the topic to not know how widely available 1.3 equipment has become
today.
As far as cable quality, HDMI is digital and does not require a fancy
cable. Save your money! There is no reason to spend over five or ten
dollars on an HDMI cable unless, perhaps, you are trying to make it run
a very long distance. Many stores seem to make only a small profit on
their equipment, but make it up by selling you a cable that is
way-overpriced. (Even $75 or more!!) Don't listen to anyone who
tries to get you to spend more - they are just trying to line their
pockets with your money! If you need a good quality HDMI cable for a
reasonable price, check www.partsexpress.com, but you'll have to pay
more for the shipping than for the cable... :(

Prices vary widely and recently have heard if class 1.3. What does it mean? If off topic for this site, any suggestions of appropriate web forums/TV web sites?
