Because your signal is 120hz you are moving twice as much data down the cable. Little imperfections that don't show up at 60hz are huge at 120hz. Most people don't have TVs that do 120hz

I would also say don't get the cheapest cables out there, there is a difference. I would stay away from Monster Cables also, not that they are bad cables, you will never go wrong owning them. They are just far to over priced. You can equal to or better performance out of less expensive cables.

It's amazing what wiring can cost you.

A good place to buy cables is
Monoprice or BlueJeans cables, they are both located out of the US, they might not be as good a deal these days with the way the dollar is.

Paying $150 for an HDMI cable is a total waste of money! I am willing to bet money that if I put two identical setups side by side that no one would be able to tell the difference in PQ between a $30 cable and a $150 cable. Monster has done an amazing job of promoting their overpriced cables and the sales droids at the box stores make nice commissions pushing it.

If you don't mind waiting a few days, Monoprice has the best prices for A/V cables, hands down!
