HDMI vs DVI - Which is better?

The HDMI cable specification has been evolving gradually since it's launch and as of today iit's version 1.3. Most current HDMI cables should meet the v1.3 criteria, so even if you upgrade your hardware a good quality HDMI cable should be suffice. Check your chosen HDMI cable can cope with the high-bandwidth 1080p video signals.

HDMI cable leads can vary greatly in price, if you need a sub 3 metre cable gold connectors are generally favoured in terms of longevity as they do not corrode however many of the nickel plated connections (grey/sliver coloured) can be better, but are subject to corrosion over time. For longer HDMI cables it is worth paying a little more than our guide to help keep the signal clear. You should also consider paying a little extra for your HDM Cable for higher end equipment as there is a small but noticable differenece between the cheaper cables.

Converting HDMI & Improving HDMI cable distance runs

HDMI signals can also be run over Cat 5/6 cable (maximum distance of 50 Metres), though special adapters are required at each end.

It is possible to extend this range up to 75 metres (full1080p) with Coax cable using a transmitter and receiver set up.

Finally HDMI cable runs of over 100 metres can be aceheived using a fibre cable. Fibre cable has a very low loss level and is extremley reliiable, though can be pricey when factoring transmitters and receivers at each end of the cable run.
