Are all HDMI devices, cables and connectors created equal?
The HDMI standard sets a baseline for minimum performance requirements, but beyond that, manufacturers differentiate in the marketplace. Tributaries Cable is a good product. As for cables, most home users will see no issues at all in 2-3 meter cables, regardless of the manufacturer. But in some applications, particularly 1080p signals and longer cable runs, we have seen differences in performance. Consumers should be sure that the cables they are buying are rated for their specific performance requirements (e.g. 1080p).
