For short HDMI cable lengths, especially with newer components there is usually no reason to agonize over HDMI cables. Any HDMI cable we sell will support up to 1080p* (dependent on other components, of course!) . For longer HDMI cables the cable quality is far more important. While a heavier wire gauge is helpful, lower "skew" levels are more important, so it is the overall assembly quality that matters most.
Very many earlier HDMI devices, especially DVD players and Receivers, will also benefit from a better quality cable, since the early HDMI chipsets were not as robust and they are less likely to have built-in equalization. New and future HDMI standards like Deep color* will continue to require more bandwidth so you may have to upgrade in the future. Another factor in quality is cable durability. A lower quality cable will be far more easily damaged, and generally has lower quality gold platings and connector quality.

Note!!!: HDMI Cables do not necessarily have to be the same spec as the equipment. If the cable lengths are short, an under-spec'd cable could work perfectly. At long lengths, an over-spec'd cable may be necessary just for normal operation. An overspec hdmi cable is always backwards compatible (so far)
