Default HDMI cable

Hi all,

I realise this may be a FAQ but couldn't find anything recently.I need a
HDMI cable to attach my PS3/Blu-ray player to my Panasonic HDTV. However,
with them ranging from £20 to £150 I was wanting some advice as to whch to
buy. I don't mind spending £150 as long as I know it is the best and a
decent investment to get the most out of my TV, however I don't like being
fooled.

Any help gratefully appreciated

Thanks

Joe

Check these two websites. www.monoprice.com and www.svideo.com
You don't need to spend alot of money on cables, especially hdmi cables.

Yikes spending 150 quid on cable is outrageous, unless it's a 100 feet long.
Buy the one for 20 quid and be done with it. Try to get one with gold
connectors if you can.

I've bought six, or so, HDMI cables from Monoprice.com and they work
just fine.

I'm sure you can probably get one locally for short money, though admittedly
you sometimes save a bit more via mail order. Don't go spending an arm & a
leg needlessly. I've dealt with these folks and have been very pleased
with their products, prices & delivery times:

Don't drink the Kool-Aid... There will be absolutely no difference
whatsoever in picture quality when using a 2 meter cable from
http://www.ehdmi.com (or similar site) and the most expensive Monster,
Belkin or AR.

It's all a big con.

Well, you have to pay for the advertising somehow. The only bad cable I
have encountered was when I needed a S-video hookup on a Sunday
afternoon and Rite-Aid was the only place open which had one. At least
it was only $6.00 down the drain.
