DVI and HDMI permit you to use a crap $5 cable instead of paying for top-dollar video interconnects.

i always wanted to ask something. the cable itself does not matter, but what about the actual interconnects on the end... if we have a very impure compound wouldnt it lead to a % loss of data, thus degrading the signal???
It would be interesting to get our hands on some testing software to see, but it's just passing 1s and 0s. As long as they can be identified reliably, there shouldn't be errors. I'm not sure how errors get handled by the spec - I haven't taken the time to read up, but certainly the roots of this are that of a computer spec. They generally make sure you can pass the 1s and 0s reliably.
I have actually seen the "sparkles" on a bad DVI cable/interface pairing, where the offending "color" is causing random bright dots, but for a cable that is operating well that is being driven by an interface that isn't substandard, all should be well.
