Reasonably priced HDMI cable?

[bigbearbear]

Modern cables are all digital, get the cheapest one you can find. Some companies, like Monster Cable, tries to convince you that their high priced gold plated cable will allow for a better connection and clearer picture etc. Some people buy into that, thinking that these cables are like those in the analog world (eg. TVs and monitors from 20 years ago).

Today, if it connects, you get good picture. If it doesn't work, return it. There is no such thing as connect but getting poor quality video due to bad cable.

HDMI is DIGITAL, no noise unlike the ANALOG cable, RCA - Component, the 3 color RGB Component Cable and S-Video which is noisy which needs a good shielded/insulated cable to minimize the noise.

I am using the cheapest available HDMI and DVI cable on the market.

Consider Blue Jeans cable. Excellent products, good prices, very quick shipping. Many of their products made in Seattle.

Not sure if serious. Don't believe all the hype over the different versions and different types of support. It is all marketing hype. HDMI is digital. The signal doesn't degrade like analog signal.

YES! Its a 1 or a 0 that gets transmitted. A cheap cable wont occasionally send a 3. Some of the really cheap cables may fall apart though. I got some of the bluerigger cables from amazon for about 5 bucks and have no problem

Just whatever you choose, don't choose Monster. Overpriced

I have had no problems with $3 cables from eBay on the literal slow boat from China, but I am only doing 1080p on my 32" via XBOX 360, Roku, or Fios HD box..

EDIT: a 1 is a 1, and a 0 is a 0. So if it passes signal, one should be G2G, right?
1.4 stated in 1st product.
I usually buy these in QTY of say 3+, after verifying I won't get double-dinged on shipping.

Another vote for monoprice.

If you live by a Fry's (or equivalent) pick one up there. They are cheap and if they don't work you can drive it back instead of ship it and wait a week to get the next one in the mail. I did get a $8 HDMI that didn't work at Fry's but i brought it back and the next one worked. Not bad for $8.

I second this. Just make sure you find the frys branded cable. At the one by me they don't keep them next to all the others and are kinda hidden out of the way 2 aisles over. $6 for 10 ft and have never had a problem.

Monoprice is awesome. All my tech geek friends buy there

Just go for the cheap ones. They will work fine for your intended purpose.

AND if you go with cheap ones, you won't be p'd-off when the $30-60(?) monster cable fails, if you bought a lot of say 3+ of the cheap ones, as you will have spares, and for less...
