Should you buy expensive monitor cables?
INSERT GRAPHICS HERE
Short Answer: NO
Several companies make rather expensive HDMI and DisplayPort (DP) cables
that can cost in excess of $40 each. This is often a ploy by manufacturers (Monster)
and stores (BestBuy) to get the consumer to spend extra money. Don't fall for the sales
pitch that they are gold plated. You must remember that the exterior gold plated
part is just the ground and isn't the part that carries a signal! In most cases, the cables
that are included with your device will be sufficient.
If your looking for a brand
recommendation, I would go with CableMatters as found on Amazon.
