: Where did you get your HDMI cable?

Hi Guys,

I need another HDMI cable that will connect from my LCD TV to PS3.

Where did you get yours? I returned the one that I had to my mom, we bought it from the brick when we bought our LCD TV there. I think we paid $70-$80 for it.

I guess my question is, where did you get yours? I found some on craigslist for under $20 generic/un known brand. Are these worth it? Is this one of the things "you get what you pay for" or are they all the same shit? Of course I will want to maximize the quality of the LCD TV+PS3 combo. I mainly use it as a bluray player, and seldom play random games with it.

Please let me know. I need one asap!

Thanks.

Cheapest you'll find. All HDMI cables <25m are the same. You should not pay more than $10 for one (depending on length). You got utterly robbed by paying $70 for an HDMI cable

you dont believe the actual mark up for these cables @ futureshop..
if you can get a staff to get it for you.. it is nearly 80% off.

which is still overpriced

anyway i get mine at NCIX... usually 4 or 5 bucks on sale, pick up the same day

Bought mine from NCIX for $5 as well.

Do not pay more than 10 bucks for one. Hell, for me even 10 bucks is too much.

I bought mine from Craigslist. Some woman in Abbotsford. Dropped it off at work. I think they were two for 15 bucks. 6 foot lengths. No tax, shipping bullshit.

i <3 my monster cable cause i got it for cheap: ) best shielding ever.

do you live in the barrel of an EM pulse cannon?

if not, any standard cable carrying a digital signal is already sufficiently shielded. you'd have to try pretty hard to distort a digital signal badly enough that it could create any error bits on the other end.

i will say though that i've heard of Ngear Cat5 cables from NCIX not abiding by standards. that's prolly a little sketch.
