Who said anything about broken cables? The subject is your "theory" that inferior cables are the same as expensive cables. Too bad for you that it's not provable with science, and your opinion doesn't count
Who are you trying to convince, everyone here or yourself, because from what you've said so far I don't believe your claim for a minute. Fortunately this isn't about you or me or anyone else, so back on topic
Both of your assumptions are not true. I guess in your world there is no binary code for color intensity. Apparently you missed 'school' when they were going over integer numbers and color quantization. Listen, I'm not here to convince you of anything. In the real world your ignorance on this topic will not effect anyone else but you, and I'm perfectly fine with that outcome
Amazing.
You claim you went to 'school' but you don't even know how digital works
If what you claim was true then a digital signal sent over a telephone line would not suffer the same distortion, attenuation and degradation as does a analog signal.
Your theory is easily proven false by simply using a long cheap cable in place or a quality 3 foot cable, and noting the differences in picture quality. The first thing a in-house tech will do when diagnosing picture quality issues is to try a shorter cable. Weird.
BTW, apple-win is right
Seriously stop. I DON'T have an electrical engineering degree (although did take ancouple ee courses in college before i decided on cs and mis) and even I can tell you that in a digital signal can not be degraded to the point where it is washed out. As pointed out earlier the bit is received or it isn't. If a signal/bit is lost it will either cause a slight flicker in the pixel of the list bit/signal or if enough bits/signal is lost it will cause a complete blackout. It will not cause an image to soften. This was what happened in the old analog days, but not in digital land. The image is always produced exactly how it was transmitted minus any data lost in translation in ONLY the effected pixels. Further this loss can ONLY happen in poorly constructed/out of spec cables. I always buy as cheap of cables for digital because in the end a 1 or 0 is the same whether I used cheap mono price or expensive monster cables.
