Audioquest Pearl HDMI vs ?


I've finally gotten around to upgrading my "old fashioned" tube tv to a new Panasonic Plasma ST30 and have been told that I should get a HDMI cable to connect the video from my High Definition cable box to the new Plasma tv. I will not be using the HDMI for audio though....I will take the RCA analog outs from the cable box directly to my Linn Integrated amplifier.

All I will need is about a 2 meter length. Do various HDMI brands differ significantly as far as the picture quality is concerned or if I go with the $40 all copper Audioquest Pearl, will that be well enough?

Has anyone compared the video quality of the Pearl with anything else?

Thank you!

I use the flat HDMI cable from Parts Express, less than $10 for 2m. It will easily compare, if not better the Audioquest. I also use the DH Labs HDMI. Don't go nuts, cost wise, on HDMI cables.
