Well you do get what you pay for. Certain cables have trouble passing signals properly for long distances. However, from what I've seen/read nearly all cables work well to fairly well when you're talking less than 30 feet of cable (At longer distances I think attenuation becomes a factor). So cheap cables shouldn't be a problem if you're only running a short distance. Still I wouldn't buy super cheap HDMI cables to save a buck... The guy at my local BestBuy recommoneded Acoustic Research instead of Monster Cables, they may be worth looking at.
Also look at the version of cables your getting.
Quote:
HDMI 1.3
Supports output of Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio streams for external decoding by AV receivers.[4] TrueHD and DTS-HD are lossless audio codec formats used on HD DVDs and Blu-ray Discs. If the disc player can decode these streams into uncompressed audio, then HDMI 1.3 is not necessary, as all versions of HDMI can transport uncompressed audio.

Someone else could probably explain in depth better than I can.
