This is not true. Bad cables will can cause signal loss (especially over longer runs, ie 15 feet). This can cause tiling and sparklies. I've even seen this on freeby, shorter dvi cables.

Monster does not make good cables though, and if the store bobblehead mentioned has a good reputation, I would bet they were better than Monster.

If the cable is less than 15 feet, most of the $30 cables should be perfect. Longer than that, you'll have to do some research and find a higher quality cable.
