You would think its known by now, for 90% of cabling there is no point at all in going with something so over priced. Once you get into longer distances however the cable cost will have to go up because indeed you simply need higher quality materials. Cables are some of the most over priced items out there, people are suckered into it all the time. There are very few people who honestly need to do 35-ft runs with a cable, those blessed with a good projector system maybe, but most all setups have your equipment right below your TV. Why spend $120 on a cable when the $5 one does the same exact job...

I also didn't get the 1440P test though... nothing in the near future is going to be running that. In fact, if it ever (which I doubt, for one its not that *large* of a increase, and not a standard which will be a major switch) becomes popular I would imagine better display technologies would be used. DisplayPort comes to mind on such.
