Last year I bought a Sharp Aquos at BB. The saleman gave me a cheap hdmi cable.

While watching tv, the picture became distorted ( top 2 inches) everytime there was ads.
I was puzzled. Tv set defective only for ads?

I decided to use the hdmi cable that came with my oppo plaver. No more distorted pictures.
Maybe there was bad connection. So I tried again the cheap cable. Distortion came back.

So much for picture or no picture with hdmi cables.
