HDMI cables are all designed and manufactured to a standard set out by the HDMI organization. The specification states minimum standards for performance and as long as the cable meets those standards, it will carry a signal with no data loss.
This is one of the features of a digital signal. Although the signal may be degraded along the length of the cable, the binary data remains intact as long as the degradation isn't beyond a certain level.
Therefore, the most expensive cable won't provide any better image quality than the cheapest cable. The very cheapest cables are likely to have lower quality connectors so if the cable is to be removed on a regular basis, consider spending a little more to obtain a more reliable connector on the ends of the cable.

What kind of HDMI cable would you need for a Toshiba laptop and a vizio HDTV?
Any HDMI cable that has an HDMI logo will work. All HDMI products need to be tested and licensed by the HDMI organization. If a cable passes the test, it works. If HDMI cables work, they work as well as ANY other HDMI cable. The digital nature of the signal means that high cost cables do not deliver a better quality image than low cost cables. So, select the lowest cost cable in the store - it will be every bit as good as the most expensive.
Is the HDMI cable for PS3 good?
Connecting the PS3 to a HDTV with HDMI inputs is best rather than only good when using an HDMI cable. It allows a single cable to easily connect with an excellent connection and only a single plug and also allows a sync between the two devices. When I put a disc in the PS3 the TV turns on and switches to the PS3 from my Cable box. If the TV is already on it switches the HDTV from cable over to the PS3 and back when I turn off the PS3. The PS3 HDMI cable sold by Sony is a good quality cable and support all the features of the PS3, namely HDMI 1.4A with 3D video. It is also cheaper than some other HDMI cables that are sold in the TV area of most consumer electronics stores. When I purchased by HDMI cable at Walmart that store was out of the PS3 HDMI cable and I purchased the Sony Flat HDMI cable for a little more. Most named brand cables work fine and you should never pay full retail for a HDMI cable. You do not have to purchase a PS3 cable and many of the other Sony cables work fine. Currently Walmart has the Sony HDMI Cable w/ USB Cable Pack (PS3) for $34.97 and it is the same price as just the Sony 6.5' HDMI Cable (PS3) and without the extra charging cable
