"And get a good HDMI cable, not just a stupid over priced Monster Cable (via Best Buy)"

Or WalMart. The display for HDMI cables there was empty of $40 cables.
I recently got a 15ft flat HDMI cable from Monoprice for $15.

That’s a good price if it’s a good cable. Well done. My remark about Monster stems from the fact that a high priced Monster HDMI is likely not a bit better than what you paid $15 for, it just has fancy insulation and packaging. Oh yeah, and a very high profit margin for the retailer. Up here, we call Monster “dime store wire in a nice bag.” There are, however, very good quality HDMI cables and they do make a real difference in terms of connection integrity and picture quality, but you have to be prepared to spend significant money on them. Just like really good speaker wire.
