When it comes to short hdmi cables paying more for a brand name isn't so smart

^^ Someone who probably got fooled into buy an expensive cable

i m not sasying, it has to be expensive to get quality.

As long as you can get good price online anywhere with same grades of cable. Its all good.

there is no "grades of cable" when buying HDMI. Image quality is going to be the same whether you use a $5 cable or $50 cable, and as mentioned earlier even the el cheapo cables have sufficient shielding so really, why spend money on Monster?

No one in North America has the equipment to terminate HDMI cables so no HDMI cables are made in North America.

We are confident that, at this date, there is no manufacturer who makes HDMI cable and terminates HDMI cable assemblies in the United States; but anyone who has information to the contrary is welcome to prove us wrong.

Monster cables are better, specially when the distance is greater than 1m.

There are way better cable than Monster HDMI.
You guys never know....

And, HDMI they do have different in grades.

Usually, 2~4M HDMI, cheap one will do pretty good.
over 6M or Longer.........some cheap ones might survive, but most of them fail.

My own experience, 10M HDMI bought from Anitec, for $45 dollars.
Going through the Wall from Living Room into my Room.
Cant even get to 1080P RES, and Snowing all over the screen.

I can only go from what I experience. I've been running a 25' HDMI cable in wall/ceiling from my receiver to my projector that I purchased from monoprice for the last 2 years and I have ZERO issues it at all. The same goes for all the smaller cables going from my receiver to my cable box, DVD Player ect, all work great. It's totally not worth buying brand name cables, no noticeable difference.

monoprice and N-gear cables have served me well so far. No experience with Monster tho

nGear for the win!

inexpensive and reliable. highly recommended

Pretty sure you can't get "snow" or typical noise from a digital source. You either get the picture or don't. The different grades are simply ratings, as long as the cable is spec'd to say HDMI 1.3, and isn't stupid long, any cable will do. As far as not getting 1080p, I'm pretty sure you just don't know how to set your stuff up, or your source isn't capable of 1080p.

My experience: I bought a $10 cable from Superstore because I needed it right away and $10 is actually a reasonable price. I've been using it for 4 months now and constantly moving it to connect to other PS3's or 360's, it still works perfectly.

^ yup all hdmi cables are the same regardless of price, anyone trying to tell you otherwise is trying to rip you off

how about hdmi to vga
i googled, there is such a cable
where to get it?

yes, but you need very special equipment to use it, you can't just slap that on anything and make it work. before you ask why, it's because HDMI (and DVI too) are digital standards, they use 1's and 0's to send data. VGA is analog, so it uses waveforms to send information. This is also why VGA can get noise/distortion depending on the cable quality and length more easily than HDMI/DVI where it is quite difficult.

its all on the receiver to convert an analog signal to digital

sucks that i cant play my Wii on my projector :(

People who think they need monster cables for long hdmi runs are crazy, HDMI cables like any cable (digital or analog) can only carry a signal so far depending on specs of signal and gauge of cable. In the case of digital signals theres no way you get snow effect like somepeople claim in this thread, what happens is the reliability of the signal lowers you'll either get it or not.

You'll notice that longer cables on monoprice come in 22AWG thats because if you up the gauge, you reduce attenuation. Simply put 22AWG will carry that signal farther than 24AWG. At the same time the range of HDMI 1.0 vs 1.3 (340MHz) will be very different with 1.3 signals not going very far.

Better solutions like HDMI extenders via Ethernet (Cat6)

$65 + 2x cheap cat6 cables 80ft = win ;)

Snow, artifacts, and the like shouldn't be possible with digital connectors. However, the build quality may differ slightly. Yes, it's just a cable tapped into a connector, but I've seen brand new out of the box digital cables crap out on either sound or video (and often both). I've had an HDMI and a 4-6 pin firewire cable do both on me. Sometimes you do get what you pay for. I will never advocate buying a Monster Cable from FS/BB, but sometimes those cheap cables will cut out.

^ this is true, you usually don't want to get the absolute cheapest one, but one slightly up from that is usually good.
