Basically, I used to follow that line of thought until I purchased an LG 4-K TV then I started to understand why the better cables are a must ! Decide what your preferences are and what your equipment is capable of doing ? based on your decision , purchase what you will. understand that the higher end equipment requires higher end components for their best performance .End of the day remember your TV is only going to be as good as the SIGNAL( CABLE BOX, DVD PLAYER , DIGITAL ANTENNA , ECT...) it's fed ! so start with that and decide your cable needs. HAPPY HUNTING !
