Monoprice RedMere HDMI cables general discussion

[Crow550]

for 2 - 6 feet?

Oh LOL. Whoops. What the hell. I totally skimmed that wrong and quoted the wrong person. Whoops.

They will be getting different lengths in.

 

[Crow550]

According to Monoprice 3-4 weeks. Cross your fingers lol.

 

[Crow550]

6, 10 & 15ft cables added to the site with additional pictures: http://www.monoprice.com/products/search.asp?keyword=RedMere&x=8&y=12

Still not in stock yet.

 

[BurnItDwn]

Could be usefull for me down the road. I am running 25 foot cables from my reciever to my projector, I could probably switch to 20 footers and still nest them above my ceiling tiles... but I'd love to have more flexible cables for that run...

Expect longer ones to come.... Whenever they can get them.

 

[Durvelle27]

Already exists, just very expensive.

If these can reliably do what they are advertised to do, they'll have a hard time keeping the 30 footers in stock. I was waiting for them to get in, but I will wait just a bit longer to see the feedback. I just keep "deep color" off right now, and my 3d is reliable.

 

[richardycc]

I got an alert that the 30fters were in stock, but looks like they are all sold out now, the next shipment is next week.

These wireless HD kits are uter crap. I've now tried thr different brands and all are failures. Neat gimmicks for the beginners but thats about it.

I ordered my cables the day I received my text. I put them through the paces next weeked.

 

[Crow550]

So anyone have any of these yet?

I was about to order a 15 footer and got busy and when I went to checkout it was sold out yet again.

 

[jpeyton]

This could change the world.

 

[Mr.IncrediblyBored]

This could change the world.

Maybe if Monoprice ever gets any stock. The damn things have been on backorder for two months. Do they get shipments of 2 at a time?

They were back in stock a few days ago.

 

[Crow550]

Looks like they are getting in some ultra slim ones. They have some 6 footers in stock: http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10255&cs_id=1025503&p_id=9427&seq=1&format=2

**Update they added up to 15ft of the ultra slim so far. Currently only in white**

Longer lengths to be coming: http://youtu.be/vBLZ_XDwMus?t=2m15s

Dammit, of course they have a sale when the longer cables are out of stock.

 

[Slick5150]

Just ordered a couple. Why? I don't know.

Yeah in time I suppose. I wanted them in Black however as thin as they are they won't be as much of an eye sore anyways.

These Ultra Slims are a bit thinner than the already thin Slim Series too.

Plus I'm sure more colors and sizes will be coming. I wonder if you can extend these with HDMI couplers?

Until then it's not a bad deal. Wonder if they could do this for like Cat6 cable and make thinner networking cable? As these HDMI cables support the Ethernet channel.

Just ordered a couple. Why? I don't know.

Why not?

 

[gorb]

ordered 4x 6ft cables in white. thanks for the tip about the sale

If you have any HDMI couplers see if you can use them on it. Just curious.

 

[gorb]

Don't have any couplers, sorry.

Same problem here. I got 6 ft HDMI cables of all colors Monoprice has. They just lay there in my drawer. I guess Im easily distracted by colors and Monoprice took advantage of it. Awesome cables though.

 

[Crow550]

(Seems most are back in stock right now. I'd still expect more varieties of the cable soon.)

Just got two ultra slim RedMere cables. My initial reaction: "Holly $h!+ these are thin!" Gonna hook them up soon. It is impressive to hold a HDMI cable so thin and light. Nice to see the tech improve.

I hope these catch on. Not a lot of people know of these thinner HDMI cables. However usually the thicker cables are just fine but it's a nice alternative for long runs without having to use a signal booster.

How long do you guys think the Ultrathin's will get? I have about a 40-50 ft run, and while I'm using an HDMI to ethernet converter atm (just a cheap one), the thing drops signal whenever theres any sort of power fluctuation (florescent lights turn on/off, lightning outside (even far away), etc).

Anyone have a comparison of the ultrathin to thin? Or hell, thin to something standard, like cat5e?

So far the longest they have in stock is 60ft.

As for your setup are you using any signal boosters (equalizers)? Take a look here: http://www.monoprice.com/products/search.asp?keyword=equalizer

After 25FT of regular HDMI you need to boost the signal. Unless you use RedMere which uses an active chip.
