I am sorry but you are fooling yourself.
It is IMPOSSIBLE for a different HDMI cable to make any difference in the picture quality. In analogue days quality cables could make a difference but now in the digital era it doesn't.
If you picture does look better then you must have adjusted something else too or your brain is telling you it is better to make you feel good about your spend.
Consumers are being charged over £50 for several meter HDMI cable simply because their HDMI compatible TVs cost them a lot already and according to major retail's researchers potentially they will spend premium on pheriperals in an effort to get the best picture out of their brand new TVs. Companies like Monster simply set and establish a perceived value for these digital cable products and unfortunately retail cables that cost them single digit at three digit price points. To add insult to injury they bring in the analog cable selling points on digital cable packaging. An HDMI cable that is gold plated has NO advantage over a silver plated one just because conduction quality is irrelevant when you are carrying "Ones and Zeros" from one point to the next.
