bluejeanscable is better than monoprice, but also more expensive. I don't use anything but BJC for HDMI cables though. Honestly their LC1 is a fantastic 'entry' level cable. It is on par or better than many boutique entry level cables. I'm not ashamed to admit that it would be better in some situations than my own entry level offerings. However, my better offerings are substantially better.

Don't be fooled by boutique cables. If a cable meets a certain standard (HDMI 1.3a, 1.4, etc..) than it will have the same quality as any other cable with the equivalent rating. The ridiculous brands like "Monster" offer NO better picture quality than any of their competitors.

When talking HDMI cables Blue Jeans Belden series is actually the best you can buy including 'boutique' cables.
I would never call Monster 'Boutique' I'd call it over priced, garbage, etc... I was talking about analog interconnects when I mentioned boutique.

If you need analog cables, then spend the money on a good cable from BJC. If you need digital cables go monoprice. Fact is a digital signal either works or it doesnt. There will be zero difference in picture quality between a monoprice HDMI cable and. BJC HDMI cable. The BJC will certainly be more durable than the monoprice cable. But that is it!

Yeah, that's the problem I had with some cheap ones I got from Newegg before I found Monoprice...if you simply bumped the cable the signal would cut out.

Monoprice cables are relatively durable. I have beaten all of mine up to varying degrees and never had an issue. This includes fishing between floors, through walls, tight angles behind TV's, and simply doing things that should never be done to them. I bought like 10 3 footers, 10 6 footers, and 10 10 footers. I'm still working off the original order and have yet to break/replace any that are in use.
