![]() Couldn't find my spare HDMI cables when I needed one yesterday, so these will come in handy. Not expecting the latest and greatest for a dollar each, and I bought four expecting one or two will fail eventually, but I'm sure they'll suffice to hook my Xbox and PS3 up in the bedroom. |

you did not get the last ones for sure ![]() 2 mins between when you bought and when it sold out = 2K sold :-) |

I'd suggest that we start adding the gauge of HDMI cables to SD listings?
I just bought a set of low cost cables for a new switcher only to find out that they were too thin to work with the switcher. I had to repurchase heavier duty HDMI cables to make it work. |

"Pros: Good. Cheap. Works. Cons: Could be my system, but when hooking up to my DVI adapter for my monitor, the screen blacks out from time to time. A little annoying, but for the cheap price, I can't complain too much." Or this; "Pros: I would say the price but you get what you pay for *see cons* Cons: Well as soon as I tried to plug it into my video card the gold piece broke and was pushed back into the shielding. For what I paid for I wasn't expecting much out of it but for it to just break sliding it into a HDMI port was bad. Other Thoughts: Do yourself a favor and get a more expensive brand so you don't have to deal with the headache that comes with this one." Monoprice cables are not expensive and they work with out issue, period.
In short, why would you spend $1 for a cable that connects 2 $$$$$ of equipment together? Buy something decent, put it together and be done with it. WB Take a look at the longer HDMI cables at Monoprice. The 25' long cables are 22 or 24 AWG wire. I bought 1 of the 25' cables from Meritline for $4.99 and did a Mono to Merit comparison. The Merit cable kept losing and reacquiring the signal. The Mono cable worked without 1 problem, still does as I'm still using it. I threw the Meritline cable in the garbage. Not even worth the time to cut it down to a smaller length for a future project. Last edited by woodbutcher; 11-26-2012 at 01:31 PM.. |
