Yea, try to get a good one if possible. I bought some no-name brand to use with my computer, and about 1/4 into the screen from the left to right, you can see this wavy distortion. I'm guessing it’s the quality of the cable, since I took it back and got the same thing again, and it still does it. Yet when I plug it in directly to the video card, I don’t get that wavy line.
