Also the cheap cables snap off when almost no pressure is used if you don't use elbow mounts (many TVs these days don't have side mounts, and low profile mounts don't provide enough clearance).
In the rare case where you have to run a cable under carpet or you have to bend it at a near 90 degree angle, you will also want a higher quality cable with extra shielding/padding, which you can't get for 2$.

There is a difference between a decent but reasonable priced cable and the crazy expensive rip off level that you'd get if you buy the premium branded cables though :P
