power cord affects on video?

Has it ever been discussed before if power cords can have an affect on video quality for example with bluray players and TVs? Some may use high end power cord on bluray players for audio, perhaps they could comment

I was experimenting with a high end CRT monitor and the power cord does indeed influence the picture, though since CRTs naturally have a soft image most of the benefits of the better cord are probably lost, conversely since CRTs are purely analogue devices and draw more power than LCDs they would benefit more than an LCD I assume.

a 4K LCD and 4k bluray would be a good way to test this.

Don't know about TV sets but I put $13 14 gauge shielded power cord on the computer and couldn't believe my eyes - everything looked so much better on the monitor. Sound from the computer was also better. Then I put second power cord on the monitor - no difference. Then I compared $150 audiophile power cord and that $13 power cord - no difference, but my computer monitor is probably 15 years old. More than enough for me, though.

Yes, Elizabeth, you do dress expensive, your car and stereo..
Just don't eat too cheap, I mean low quality food and not low quantity of good food. Each time when I go to supermarket I feel a little uneasy because I usually buy quite expensive stuff compared to most other shoppers but not much of it so the bill is actually quite low.

Of course, pseudo-theorists are religious gangsters, they insist on how it should be according to their fantasies and when reality interferes they whine like mules and shoot at will.

Elizabeth, your speaker cables, they bother me, irritate big time actually. Your power cords too, a little less.

ebm sells his top of the line Furutech cables for $999 or less. Might work well with your set up, don't really know, it's a guess. But you like Furutech.
