Could someone help me with a decision?

I have a Samsung LCD TV (Series 5) and its known to have jittery images when the MoviePlus function is enabled. I disabled that function, along with every other option (like Dynamic Contrast is Off, Edge Enhancement is off) to reduce the load on the TV. The movies (HD at 1080p) work without any problems but gaming (both on PS3 and Xbox 360) is jittery (Xbox games were installed to hard drive as well).

I bought my HDMI cables more than a year ago and I have no idea if they are 1.2 or 1.3.

I want to purchase these cables but unsure as to which one would minimise the jitter.
Would I need the premium cables that cost 16.50 or the one listed here (6.50) is fine? I don't mind spending the extra 10 dollars if I get less jitter.

Any comments anyone?

  Still having the issue mate? :)
  
  What about if you try 50 Hz instead of 60?
  - ragflan on 20/02/2010 - 09:38 ¶
    
    Yo Stix. How do you change the fresh rate?
    - ragflan on 20/02/2010 - 09:46 ¶
      
      I switched off all enhancements. Digital NR off, HDMI Black Level Low. Movies Plus Off. Edge Enhancement Off. Dynamic Contrast Off. Black Adjust Off. The image quality is significantly lower than with these effects on but I still notice the jitter. Like when running past large crowds in Assassin's Creed 2. Or kick off time in Fifa 10.

        Highly doubtful a new cable will make any difference…

        I think its maybe because the cable I have is over a year old, and it was one of those cheap brandless cables as well. I'm thinking maybe it was version 1.2 but I have no way to confirm this and I don't think the TV is THAT bad a TV.

        If your cable is about a year old, or up to about 3-4 yrs, it should be HDMI v1.3, which for all intents and purposes is the same as this cable, so any problem you are facing with image or video quality is unlikely to be eliminated by the new cable.

        Hey mate
        
        I’ve done a bit of research for you:

        A couple of things I would try:
        
        1) Contact Samsung and see if there’s an updated firmware for your TV
        2) Try component instead of HDMI

      Change the refresh in the display section of system settings on the 360. Try 50Hz but you may find most Australian games will require 60Hz before the game will fire up
sk1ppy on 20/02/2010 - 11:05 ¶

My advice for you would be to buy one of these cables and see how you go.Its a good price and if youve still got issues then i suggest you go to the Whirlpool forums or similar to investigate further rather than here on Ozbargain.
- ragflan on 20/02/2010 - 13:03 ¶
  
  Alright, I've decided to get the cable but should I get the Premium One listed here: http://www.jamellcables.com.au/product_info.php?products_id=...
  
  Or just the one in this post?

    Get the $6.50 one, don't waste your money on so called premium cable.
  - bargainhunter on 20/02/2010 - 14:22 ¶
    
    If you think a premium cable may do the trick you could try a cable from someone that will accept returns, maybe Dick Smith, and see if that fixes your TV issues.
    [BTW] Are you watching the 1080P movies through the PS3? It couldn't be the HDMI cable if the movies are clear, could it?
    - ragflan on 20/02/2010 - 15:17 ¶
      
      Yeah that's the thing that's annoying. 1080p movies has no problem. But gaming on Xbox is jittery when there's a lot going on in the game. I'm sad. I really was hoping its the cable because I can't think of anything else.

  Can you please email me the order details so I can follow it up for you. Most orders should arrive in 2-3 days or 5-7 days if multiple cables ordered at the same time.

MSY have 2mt HDMI cable for $5.00. I picked one up last week. Great price if you are near a MSY outlet!

  rather pay the extra 1.50 instead of having to wait in the ridiculous lines at auburn

When is HDMI v1.4 going to be available for retail?
- Trance N Dance on 21/02/2010 - 13:24 ¶
  
  the only thing a v1.4 cable can do over a v1.3 cable is hdmi ethernet support, it's v1.4 itself that we're waiting for
roofyapple on 21/02/2010 - 20:03 ¶

Is this really a good price? Its only like $2 discount isn't it?
zoeric on 21/02/2010 - 22:21 ¶

batteryshack.com.au are selling the 2m HDMI cable for $5.95 each (free shipping). I purchased these from them previously.
ktks on 24/02/2010 - 10:49 ¶

Both are equally good but Jamell looks a tard nicer.
richmond12 on 24/02/2010 - 15:00 ¶

$9.95 now?
cheaparse on 25/02/2010 - 00:16 ¶

Got my 2x2m HDMI cables today. Yahoo!! They came in 2 separate tough bags as they mention in their website. Not sure why the 2 cables couldn't be packed in one and save postage or does packing 2 cables into 1 bag makes them bulkier and increases postage?

The cables look good.

Now I just need to get a FULL HD TV :).
timbo83 on 05/04/2010 - 13:02 ¶

Cool, just ordered now!

Only difference between the cheap and expensive cables is the ability to withstand constant bending etc. For most setups though, a cheap cable will do the trick.
