laugh at me now, I bought a Monster HDMI cable...

[Nemesis 1]

it was open box at 1/2 off, a 35ft hdmi cable from their M series. I just bought a 3D projector, and been looking for a 30-35ft hdmi cable for it as my existing one from monoprice probably won't handle 3D. I know I can get one from Monoprice for around $40, but they are not offically labelled as high speed and can support 3D. Some user reviews saying they are using it for their 3D projector, but I notice they have the same reviews for different hdmi cables, so wonder about the credibility of those reviews. A good one in this length is around $100, so I am ok with spending $175 for one that I know it will work. Peace of mind is worth something. With their cable for life policy, if this cable is outdated, I can send it in for a new one. Yeah for me! 😛

I not laughing its expensive stuff but its good stuff. Its your money screw what others think its what makes you happy that matters.

Hold on, monster cables are purely a marketing thing right now...I have bought cables from monoprice for over 4 years and have never had an issue. the picture quality is alway phenomenal. yes monster makes good product and i am sure at the same $2 price tag that all other cables make it for and then they mark it up to ridiculous prices...of course best buy is going to tell you it is the best one out there because they sell it for a high price...

you know the name monster to you feel it is better cable...oh yeah and if you buy from monoprice and if something is wrong with it, they take it back...no hassle...

honestly, i don't understand people who buy monster cables except that they don't know better or don't care if they blow their money

good for you if inexpensive cables work for you. Got my projector Wed, and watched my first 3D movie at home last night. everything looks great, I just need to fish the cable thru the ceiling and wall then I am done upgrading for awhile.

OP, don't feel bad.... I have a $1200 audio cable and is only 1.5m in length. 😀

I don't think $175 for a quality 35' 1.4a HDMI cable is "outlandish." A little higher than other quality cables, but nothing crazy. In comparison, BJC sells their quality 35' HDMI cables for about $120.

Man, $175 for that?

Even BJC's Chinese budget grade works for nearly all applications.

bad news, not sure what happened, but last night I got snowy and blinking picture last night, so it looks like the cable is bad, cold solder or something. Maybe I will try out the redmere hdmi cable from monoprice.
