[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 6055267, member: 177"] Ah. Well, given this, I think I see the issue. And it rests in "correlation does not imply causation." Modern high-def screens are [I]expected[/I] to have some artifacts, especially with really high-speed scenes. As you yourself noted, though, if you were sitting at the proper distance, you'd not have noticed them. They may have been within the usual expected tolerance for the hardware. The artifacts aren't individually reproducible, though. Watch the same scene again, the artifacts may be different, or non-existent. So, you see some with the first set of cables, and then you change cables, and don't see them. That doesn't mean the artifacts are *caused* by the cable. It just may be that they didn't happen (or didn't happen where you were looking) the second time around. Just one or two viewings of the same scene with each set of cables would not be enough to clearly prove it was the fault of the cables. [/QUOTE]
