Let's Go Blues

I need to get a cable or two. The Monster cables at best Buy are rediculous, and their Rocketfish brand is a little better, but not much. I googled and the top one was for a brand called Firefold. You can buy a 5' cable for like $5.99. Anyone have any experience about using cheaper cables, etc?

I always use cheap cables, and rarely have problems. With electronics equipment, you pay for the name more than anything.

I get 6 ft. ones from a local game shop for $15...works great.

Buy the cheap ones.

Here's some reading material for you.

Unless you're installing inside a wall or very long distances, there's no reason to spend a lot. I've had good luck with Monoprice for all home theater cables.

monoprice is your only destination for cables. With HDMI, the signal is 100% digital. Spending more money on cables will not be of any benefit whatsoever. Unlike analog cables, there is no signal to be lost.

Thanks to all. Here is a link to the place I found online.http://www.firefold.com/Categories/HDMI ... -HDMI.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

No question: MONOPRICE!

Monster sucks and is WAAAAAAAAAAAY overpriced. Tell the sales guy to stfu about Monster.

I just went back and looked. I got two HDMI cables for my new TV for $12 + shipping from monoprice. They are solid as hell.

I wish monster would go out of business...

Biggest rip-off ever.

are you aware that 1 out of every 3 children in africa will get aids for christmas, but here we are discussing hdmi cables in june.

You can get cheap ones on ebay.

As far as wiring & cables are concerned...yes. But if we're talking stereos, dvd players, etc...going cheap usually means a lesser product.

Monoprice is the way to go. I got a 20ft HDMI for under $20.
