HDMI cables Eeeek

Sparklies and picture breakup are instantly recognisable though.

Yeah i suppose you could return the cable as defective at that point then.

As I've posted already, its not that black and white. The signal is composed of 0s and 1s. Due to interference (other electrical fields etc) and poor quality connectors, not all the signal will reach. This is not like transferring network packets, where if it doesn't get through, it is resent.

These missing 0s and 1s will create sparklies on the screen.

Yes thats what I meant, either all the data or not all of it does and you get artifacts in which case you just return the cable, might as well try to spend the least you can though.
