Hi,
Lim looking for a 5 m hdmi cable to connect my pc to the tv.
I have seen various brands, but which make and will a cable 5 m long degrade the picture ?.
I have seen a 5 m hdmi from polaroid for £20 ,is it worth buying?

Check these prices from £8.99 to £29.99 for a 5 metre HDMI. I recently bought my father the 15.3 Gigabit version @ £12.99 & it works great plus free delivery. Clicky

Good to see a positive review about this company. I had stayed away from it due to a number of complaints on other forums & here.
Thank you all for the help,cheers 
By the way,what does ethernet do?
Generally, it transports data between two computers. In the case of HDMI with Ethernet cables, it will transport data from the internet to a "smart" TV (if any manufacturer ever decides to support it of course).
but which make and will a cable 5 m long degrade the picture ?.
I agree with everything the other folk have said. Among many other leads and connectors, I have three 20-metre HDMI cables going between all my rooms, and I don't notice any loss in the picture compared with using 2-metre cables. As it happens, all my longer HDMI cables are by Lindy, go to http://www.lindy.co.uk/ and then type "5m hdmi cable" in the search box. But I'm sure that the other brands will be fine too. Having on one occasion compared signals through a £60 2m HDMI cable from Lindy with going through a £16 2m HDMI cable, also from Lindy, I really could not tell the difference.
A 5m cable will not degrade picture. Don't worry.
Even cheaper alternative:
