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.

It would have to be a bad cable. HDMI is a digital spec, so the same as sat or digital TV, as long as the signal is decent then (with error correction) you won't see an issue.
I'll grant you that if you have a long cable it will need to be shielded to prevent too much loss, but unlike an analogue signal spending a lot of extra money to get a slightly better cable will not be worth it.
