HDMI Cables

[KG]

Can someone out there explain to me the difference between HDMI 22/24/26/28 Cables?

Is the picture quality better for 22 as opposed to 24-28?

Thanks

Re: HDMI Cables

Yeah, I'm wondering about this too -- is it a compatibility thing or are they different quality? Seems like the 22's are the most expensive...

Re: HDMI Cables

The lower the number, the thicker the cable is. No difference of picture or sound quality in any of the sizes. I prefer the 26, because it is more flexible, and easier to move around and tuck away and hide. I bought a 24 cable and it was a little too stiff to try and bend it to fit the way I wanted. The loss of flexibility can add stress to the HDMI ports and possibly damage them because you can't always rout the cable where it's not being obstructed. Check out the link I provided. They have the best prices and shipping is cheap and super fast. http://www.monoprice.com

Ahh that makes sense. Thanks for the answer, even Wikipedia failed me on that one.
