My main concern is the cost of HDMI cables.

Me too, which is why my DVD's connected to the LCD telly with a 5 quid
HDMI cable from eBay.

I also have the luxury of my ma-in-law working for a place that sells
Monster cables, and having tried a couple of them I can tell you it
didn't make a blind bit of difference.... no doubt some gullible hi-fi
snake oil buyer will pop up and tell you otherwise though!
