Though it looks like they are Out of Stock online, I just picked up a couple at my local store..

Right next to the $99 9ft ' Monster ' brand...


Salesman said it was marked down from $104..

He didn't believe the price and grabbed a couple for himself..

Seems like a great price!

Is it a DVI Male Digital/DVI Male Digital Dual Link? Do you know what gauge it is?

Thanks,

Good deal, even beats my typical supplier of cables

It's male-male..

The gauge isn't listed, but it is rather robust.. Of course, that might just be thick insulation..
It is gold plated, also..

A comparable cable at Monoprice would be about $10 before shipping (link). So, the RS deal beats MP, even with tax, I am sure.

I got the DVI-I a couple weeks ago with the same price, then I got another DVI-D for my cousin for similar price. If you need DVI-I or DVI-D cables, you can't beat this. Very high quality btw.

The DVI-D that RS has online seems to be single link. I have not checked any local RS store. I was looking for a couple of dual link cables. So, I got them from MonoPrice. Two 10 ft. DVI-D dual links, 28 AWG, for a total of just under $20, shipped. Not bad, I think.

I picked a few up back in September. The cables are of GOOD quality. I'm very pleased with them.

I'm kinda new to this stuff. What's the difference between DVI-I and DVI-D?

 

[Garlic]

DVI-I has extra pins to transfer an analog signal. Most people will not use this feature when it comes to computer LCD monitors. Plus many LCD monitors only accept DVI-D connectors.

You rock

This is really tempting me to buy their $89 OTA HD receiver w/hdmi: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2104191&tab=summary

Would bring it down to around $80 + tax

They still had this cable deal as of today, but in store price was listed as $49.99 I mentioned the 12.99 online price and they begrudgingly gave it up for that amount.

Has anyone ever had experience using DVI cables that are 25ft long? It is unsuable - I was considering the cables from mono-price. How about 50ft - is that pushing too far? I want this to connect my PC to my HDTV.

I believe there is a limit to the length the DVI cables, 15 Feet is the most, else it will loose signal.

These have been on clearance since September. Probobly a YMMV. I know my local RS is out of them.

That HDTV tuner has been on clearance since September also. Definately a YMMV on that one. I drove an hour to get the last one back in September. There is another thread here in the HD forums about it.

Snagged one in Portsmouth NH. Should have gotten two!

Bout one a couple weeks ago for $13. Very good quality. I still use the one that came with my ViewSonic, moved my PC closer to the television, it gives a bit better x-fer but it's significantly shorter.

I grabbed a couple of theses a few weeks ago- one for new TV, one for new LCD =)
