HDMI 1.3a cables on Amazon for $9.99

AngelGraves13 · 12-14-08, 06:35 PM

Usually $30 it's on sale for $10.

It's not a Monster cable, but seems like a decent quality cable for the price.

I ordered 3 to replace my cheap HDMI cable for the PS3 and one as a gift for my friend who has an X-Box 360 and is using RCA and one for my other player.

Yep, HDMI cables are really bloody cheap to make. I found out that one of the hardware stores in Canada (RONA) usually has them in stock for that price.

HDMI = Digital Therefore No real reason to spend much at all really, except to get a decent connector that wont slip out, though that's more of a problem with Optical.

I agree with teh LORD. monoprice seems the cheapest place.

I just bought a 10' HDMI cable from the Amazon marketplace for less than $6 shipped. Works just fine.

Any only get the 5cm version to really avoid transmission loss and possible NTUSER.dat problems.

Also look for oxygen free copper cables or you wont get 1080 pee.

Monster Cables aren't always a bad investment - especially if you use a ceiling-mounted projector. I'm using a 2€(retails for 20€) 5m hdmi cable and can't get a perfect picture when using 1080p @ 60 Hz(I get some weird lines across the screen).
