HDMI Cables

I need three so I could pay $30-$40 a pop at the local store-- or $10-$15
each on eBay from powersellers like HD Maven or StableCable-- both of whom
describe VG specs for the cables they sell.

Anyone have any experience with these guys? Are the lower price cables any
good-- or do I need to bite the bullet and pay through the nose at the local
store?

I bought a dirt cheap 30 foot HDMI cable from a guy on ebay. It works fine.

He was not a powerseller.

I second.

I've bought a lot of cables from Monoprice, at GREAT prices.

HDMI cables either work - the signal gets through, or they don't.
it's a digital signal being passed through - a computer program if you will.
therefore if the signal makes it through, you get the picture intact in all
it's quality - buying a more expensive cable will not re-program the data to
look better.

and you'd know if the signal wasn't making it through - you'd get
sparklies - very obvious ones.

what you wouldn't get is a slightly inferior picture - regardless of what
snake oil salesmen will tell you.

I can add more support for monoprice.com

I purchased 15ft Gold Plated 24ga HDMI Cables for $23.19 each. They
also have great prices on brackets:

Low Profile Wall Mount - $19.94
Tilt Mount (Wide Bracket) - $29.42

Shipping charges are very fair too.

Quality of the termination attaching the cable to connectors is important.
Haven't heard any complaints about monoprice in the quality area.

DON'T buy from the local store...way over priced...just make sure the eBay
cables are HDMI certified and not bootlegs ones...eBay's kinda bad about
that.
