Any recommendations for where to buy a HDMI cable online? I dont want to spend mega money but at the same time I dont want to buy a cheap cable that gives me a crap picture.
Need one about 5m long ideally. Seen some online that are only £15 for 5m but I'm wondering what the quality is going to be like as its £30 in Comet for a 1.5m HDMI cable

The £15 5m one will give exactly the same picture as the expensive one, I get all mine off ebay.

I've bough quite a few of the Linx cables and had no issues. They are solidly built and can be bought for less than £10. As john said I wouldn't spend mega money on them but even £10 might be too much really. Not tried the cheaper ones but I bet they'll be fine.

these cables are digital so the picture is either there or it isnt, there is no difference in picture quilty between a 90 pound cable and a 5 pound cable in terms of picture, the only difference is how well there made, i.e. if the sockets are a good fit etc but ive got a £5 HDMI ebay jobbuie at home which fits better than a £25 quide thing from maplins i have

Cheers everyone. Not going to have to spend as much as I thought by the sound of it 
When I went in Comet yesterday to look at the prices the guy was trying to sell me one for £80
