Best HDMI Cable for Video

I'm looking for opinions for the "best" HDMI cable. Primary function is video, not audio and it will be a short length 2 meters). I'm looking for the picture to "jump off" the screen. My dvd player (ARCAM DV 29) and set top cable box both have HDMI outputs, as does the TV (Sony 60 inch SXRD). I current use a passive power line conditioner (BPT 3.5). I'm looking for some feedback from people who have bought a few or tried a few cables ( so that a person can compare and contrast). Also it must pass 1080P.

Thanks for the help,

Sherpa

Throwing this out as a suggestion and also a query for myself. Audio Advisor has Pangea HDMI cables for sale. They offer a silver plated copper and a silver plated Ohno copper HDMI cable. I just received my Monoprice HDMI cable today and I like it. Certainly superior to component.

Has anyone tried these cables or other brands with the silver plating? I need another HDMI cable and am considering the Pangea cables.

Just ordered the 2M Pangea HDMI with 4% silver plated Ohno copper. Will post my comparison to the Monoprice cable.

I have done a comparison between the Monoprice and Pangea HDMI cables I described above. As much as I wanted the Pangea to win I like the Monoprice in my system better. Colors have more texture and are less over-ripe. The blacks are a little blacker. My reference for years has been Sony XBR crt pictures.
