I've not made a study of it, but my personal observation of USB and HDMI cables I encounter seems to suggest that cables in the $5-$15 range have sturdier materials, better stress relief, and better solder joints then <$5 bulk cables like those that come with a lot of gear, and I'd need to see a lot of data to convince me that that wouldn't make a difference in reliability.
I have also noted HDMI cables (of the proper spec, supposedly) that work in some devices but not others.
With USB cables, I have more than once encountered cables that SEEM to work...device detect, etc, but the device doesn't work reliably, and replacing the cable solved the issue.
What were we talking about, again?
