What's a good, cheap HDMI cable?

What's a good, cheap HDMI cable (need 10') that I can buy? Also, where can I buy it?

I went to monoprice.com, but they seem to have a large selection of HDMI cables.
 
Okay, you answered your own question: monoprice. But, what's the problem with the selection?
 
Audioquest Vodka!

Just because it has the name Vodka means its awesome! :biggrin:

Using a cheap HDMI cable can lead to bad things like crack head teeth, kicking the neighbor's dog (and making love with yours!), leaves falling off houseplants due to a complex interaction between your cell phone, wireless network and microwave oven. It's bad, just don't do it! 😉
 
my problem is that I'm not aware of the differences among the various selection of cables offered by monoprice (24,26,28 AWP, silver plated, etc).

Get whatever is long enough to reach with a price you're happy with. You won't notice a difference in the picture quality whatsoever. If the cable is going in the wall or running a long distance then you will want a thicker conductor (lower number) and/or better jacket.

But tehy haz too maeny...I can't dee-cide!!

Bluejeanscable is another good source...but will cost you a bit more than at monoprice.


IMO, you can have good, or you can have cheap...you can't have both. (although most cheap cables are good enough for our uses.)

As we all know, if you want GOOD cable...there's only one choice...

Get the gold plated HDMI cables, the gold makes the bits transfer faster and you get better picture quality. Lower quality cables that only have copper slow down that data transfer significantly. That's because copper is cheaper than gold.

Amazing how those little electrons are aware of metal prices.

I see your six-hour executive training course at Best Buy has paid off.
