HDMI Cables

[Tailgate]

OK, I read some great info last year about cables on this site. For that reason I am also shopping at Monoprice.

Well, I need some in-wall cables and I found these (link). My question is....I read about a version number 1.3 and see that number on some other Belkins I bought, this link says these cables are 1.2 but support 1.3. Will I see a difference and/or lose any color or anything?

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have four Monoprice HDMI cables, plus a couple of coax and toslink digital audio cables in our media room. They've all been terrific.

You can get a 1.3a, wall-ready 10-foot cable on Monoprice for only $4 more than the Belkin you're looking at here...that's what I'd go with...
