Back in PC User's March 2011 issue, I made the point in the ‘Home entertainment setup guide’ (page 51) that retail HDMI cables are overpriced in Australia and that, in essence, you shouldn’t need to spend more than $10 per metre for a decent cable, provided all 19 pins on the HDMI plugs were wired up and that it had at least AWG28 gauge wire inside. However, a reader letter in the same issue suggested spending $50 to $100 for a cable should be the norm.
