For $11.99, this is a great deal.
Even though every tv, bluray player, videogame system, etc. in my house is already 1.4 - I can use these cables to help out friends/family when they need me to come by to hook up their electronics. Thanks OP & repped!!! PSN: DonVCorleone

My point? Sure, you can buy a $1 cable. Will it deliver a picture for awhile? In most cases, yes. But I've learned through the years that paying a few extra bucks up front and getting a better quality one will save you time, money and headaches down the road from having to replace them/re-fish them/troubleshoot issues/take back receivers for the wrong reasons, etc. Seems like it's worth paying a few extra bucks up front to me. I'm in no way associated with them, but the Blue Rigger cables on Amazon have nearly 100% 5-star feedback and have hundreds/thousands of people who have reviewed them. They cleaned up my HK issues (and also an SD programming issue) immediately -- as such, to me that says the cables were the issue. To boot, you can usually get a two pack of 6-footers for about $9 [amazon.com] with free S&H (if you have Prime). I'm just sharing my experiences. Again, I wouldn't suggest people run out and pay $60 for Monster Cable HDMI cables -- or even "Rocketfish" Best Buy cables -- thinking they will get an uber 1337 picture. But it seems to me that the $1 monoprice cables eventually come back to bite you in the ass in terms of time/problems/etc. down the road. Last edited by TheEdge; 02-07-2013 at 08:19 AM.. |

I don't want to threadcrap because this would be a legitimately good deal... if it wasn't sold by 1saleaday. I will forever shout to the heavens (and slickdeals) how awful this company is and how ANY deal from them isn't worth the great chance that they will dick you somehow.
Out of three orders I placed with them, only one ever arrived as it was supposed to -- and it was a simple iPod cable. One of the orders never arrived and it took months to get a refund, and the other order was literally sent to a different address than I put in (over 2000 miles away), and they refused to give the $25 refund stating that I could probably mail the person at that address and have them ship it to me. REALLY?! It took two months of going through a PayPal dispute to get it back. farking horrible company. Don't waste your time. Really. It can happen to you. |

Like I said before, higher color depths (deep color) is an optional specification. Retailers will say the cable is version 1.X and list all of the capabilities of that version of the cable (like deep color) but they may not actually implement all of those features since most of them are optional. The HDMI Licensing group is now requiring that referencing to version numbers needs to be removed from packaging and advertising for the cable and it needs to actually specify which features the cable actually supports.
knowing is half the hassle
