MH6~SPARTA~ Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 sounds about right on the price these HDMI cables are not cheap.. I hope you're being sarcastic. Monoprice.com Go. Now. You can get a 100ft of HDMI cabling for $60. 100. Compared to Best Buy selling 35 feet for $2,200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athlon64~SPARTA~ Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 (edited) Go to wallmart and get their cables, a whole lot cheaper. A wise man once, said a fool and his money are soon parted.

SkeleTele~SPARTA~ Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 The best part about this cable is that it?s made from platinum found only on the Mars?MARS! The Mars platinum is the purest material known to man. The aliens use it all the time to create their space ships which can travel at speeds up to Mach 30?MACH 30!

Durka-Durka~SPARTA~ Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 I thought "1080p" was the price for each connector. Add in the extra cost for the wire and that's a damn good business model there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mars platinum is the purest material known to man. The aliens use it all the time to create their space ships which can travel at speeds up to Mach 30?MACH 30! The product I received was flawed. After spending several hours struggling with the packaging, I finally obtained access to the cable. When I tried to plug it in, it didn't fit, so I started to try to force it in. After about an hour of this, I finally got the cable in. To my disarray, it did not work. Now, the cable is stuck in my computer (I'd assume broken), and I have one less USB port. I was very unhappy with the product. What's great about it: Nice color, Super cheap.What's not so great: Doesn't work, too long.No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

MedicSN6 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Last night my wife and I were at Best Buy and she commented on how expensive some HDMI cables were. Mind you, these were some $30 average cables on an end-cap near the BluRays. So I said, you wanna really see something ridiculous?? So we chugged on over to 'gouge your wallet land' while I explained the difference between analog and digital signals. While analog signals are more dense and can have a higher resolution, they are very susceptible to outside interference and other noise mainly from other electrical sources and also the material in which they travel across or at the connections. Blah blah blah. Her eyes glazed over a couple times, but she understood. Digital is just a strong signal of ones and zeros, but no depth. It is merely information going from one spot to another. It does not degrade, nor is made worse by interference. You'll either get the signal or you won't. Anyways, nothing you guys don't already know. So she looks at the HDMI cables that have the 'upgrades' (shielding, gold connectors, space-age materials, etc. etc. and says very loudly, right in front of a Best Buy employee who is trying to talk a customer into buying one, that the cables are a huge rip-off. She picked up one that said $89 and she looked at me sideways and said "Seriously?" I explained the difference between analog and digital and she got it. The point of the story is that I should be a science teacher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
