At short distances (6' HDMI cables are the biggest sellers by a large margin) pretty much any HDMI cable will work just as well as any other at the data rates that high-def video is using today. If you are buying cable for long runs (like to a ceiling mounted projector or similar) it could be better to spend the cash on higher quality cables.
Most reviews I've seen actually show that the mid-priced store-bought cables usually perform worse than cheaper cables purchased online.
Every HDMI cable I own I purchased for less than $10 shipped to my door from monoprice.com, and picture quality on them is great. I've also recommended those cables to at least 6-8 others, and no one else has had issues either.
Don't get wrapped up by electronics store salesman that tell you that you need to spend over $100 on a fancy gold plated 6' HDMI cable to get a quality picture.
