Image quality won't vary, obviously, being digital, but I find the cheap cables are too stiff for my liking and, if you connect and disconnect them a lot, the solder joints tend to fail (had the HDMI end get stuck in my laptop, Monoprice).

While I certainly would never advise anyone to buy the incredibly overpriced Monster cables, I don't think I will buy another dirt cheap cable unless it's at least decently flexible and I'd probably spend a bit more if it's going to be connected/disconnected a lot.
