15' Coboc M/M HDMI Cable $3.50, 10' Coboc M/M HDMI Cable $2.50 + Free Shipping

I used monoprice cables for everything and have had almost non-stop issues with them. I'd test them -- they'd work fine, then I'd run them through the wall. Within a matter of months or years (being a year and a half tops), I'd start having handshake issues with my TV. I made the assumption the receiver was to blame since I changed out all of the HDMI cables between my components and receiver (but never changed out the in-wall cable). Took the receiver in for warranty repair and they couldn't replicate the issue (no wonder why!). Changed out the in-wall cable (pain in the royal ass) and it solved it. That cheap one lasted about six months to a year. Went to fish it out and it snagged on something and actually snapped (I kid you not) in the wall. So I had to completely re-fish a new cable through. This time, I made sure to use a wall rated one from Blue Rigger (Amazon carries them). The ratings are great and it has a very solid construction and it's not pricey.

I also had some issues when I switched from my Sony receiver to an HK AVR1700. When using with my PS3, I had flickering/handshake issues. Other people on this forum and AVS Forum reported similar issues. In nearly every (or every) case, using a better cable resolved the issue. You could turn deep color off to solve it, but WHY? I also had sparkles in my SD cable TV signal. Changed out the HDMI cable from my cable box to the receiver and it cleaned it up.
