Retailers are ripping people off by putting "3D capable" on the package and overcharging, when in fact all high speed HDMI cables are capable of 3D. I think some HDMI cables may be special due to supplying an ethernet connection, but the "HDMI v1.4" thing is actually misleading. HDMI v1.4 is referring to the version of the port, not the cable. The cables didn't change versions because they didn't need to - they are still capable of transferring massive amounts of video data. The port, however, needed to change the kind of video data that needed to be transferred through the cable.
Now this is not to say that some of the more expensive HDMI cables aren't superior. Some have gold plating, some are built out of cheaper or better materials, but ultimately they all do the same thing. They transfer video/audio data.
