Online store that sells HDMI cables?

[rstove02]

After going to Best Buy and getting sticker shock of $90-110 for a freaking 6 foot HDMI cable, came here to get a recomendation of a online store that sells good quality HDMI cables but do not have a 400% markup.

Thanks.

Cablewholesale.com

The only place I go for A/V cables. The shipping is a bit high, but if you think ahead and get all the cables you need all in one order the shipping isn't a deal killer.

Which they charge about $80 for, even though it's no better than any other HDMI cable. :disgust:

See, I don't quite understand the big deal about piping 5.1 sound through the HDMI cables. The HDMI is going to go from your HDTV set top box or DVD player into your TV. Your typical HDTV is probably not going to have a 5.1 speaker system directly connected to it, in which case you are going to have to run a SPDIF out the back of the TV into the receiver that is going to be driving those speakers. The only thing could imagine it being useful for is going from your HD source into receiver that can select between multiple HDMI inputs, which are then output to the HDTV monitor. With all the power cables, speaker wires and whatnot coming in and out of the back of your typical receiver, though, I don't see where losing a SPIDF cable is really going to clean things up all that much.

Anybody who sells Monster cables is going to charge at least $90 for a 3-foot HDMI to HDMI cable and at least $100 for a 6 foot cable.

Avoid buying extremely cheap HDMI cables ($10-$20 range). I bought a 6-foot $14.99 HDMI to HDMI cable from TigerDirect.com. It had a broken or loose wire inside the cable near the end of one connector. You had to hold the cable just right to get a picture and sound. This cable was made by Cables Unlimited. TigerDirect.com also had some 6-foot cables that were around $25. They were made by BAFO, but I am now leery of all cheap HDMI cables.

Amazon.com sells all kinds of different price range HDMI cables.

Check with your local cable company if you can get HD cable from them. They may have a DVR or HD cable box with an HDMI output. My local cable company (Bright House) sells a 10-foot HDMI cable for $49.95.

I think if you stay in the $40 to $60 price range online, you should be OK.

Do a Google search for "HDMI cable". You should see lots of choices. Just avoid the extremely cheap cables.
