Title: Quick question...looking for a cheap HDMI cable Post by: BanditVol on April 07, 2012, 11:14:59 EDT Is there one on Amazon someone uses or would recommend?

However, the cheaper you go, the more likely you are to get a defective one. I once bought a couple $2 cables on Amazon, and one of them produced a vertical line down the right side of my screen. The other was fine, and I still use it to this day. Also, if you don't want to wait for shipping, Big Lots has a pack of three for $25.

Monoprice is a great site to order stuff like that from, too. Since I got burned on that $2 cable, I'll no longer get the cheapest I can find, but I won't go over 10 bucks for one, either. The high-end, $100+ cables might be the biggest ripoff in the world. I used to sell them, and the markup was sometimes over 1000%. Seriously, we would make more in commission from one Monster HDMI cable than we would for some TVs. :frown: Title: Re: Quick question...looking for a cheap HDMI cable Post by: BanditVol on April 08, 2012, 01:05:41 EDT Best buy sounds like a decent option, since I have to head that way anyway. Factoring in shipping, it won't be much more and I wont have to wait.
Thanks for the replies.
