WTB HDMI cables

Dakaggo · 01-17-2008, 11:19 PM

I figure I might as well ask. My Dad bought a HDTV but he needs HDMI cables. Does anyone have spare or something? I don't really have any set price but considering how high the retail value is. I'm not even 100% sure I'll buy one I just want to see if anyone has any good offers.

I was looking for something like this.

Monster Cable -- HDMI 800hd Advanced High Speed HDMI Cable

(I know I'm supposed to set a price but I can't, it depends on length and type of cable)

How long?

Also, I think that Monster Cables are a rip-off. Any basic HDMI cable should suffice.

I have an extra six foot one I would sell for $20 + a couple bucks shipping. Depending on where you live. I wont be much to ship. It's not a name brand like monster but supports full 1080p.

Yup those monster cable ones are a rip off. I have a couple extra if i remember. Pm me for further details.

Edit: i have one extra.

Oh cool thanks. I know I'm just saying as far as features go that cable is closest to what I'm looking for. I'll let him know and see what he says.

Black Falcon 6 foot is perfect. Can you tell me anything else about it? Even if they are a rip-off monster seems to have a lot of different types of cables so if you can find out about it I'd appreciate it.

www.monoprice.com Best place for buying cables. Monster cables are the biggest rip off on the market.

That looks great but I have little idea what I'm looking at. Even after reading up on it a bit I couldn't find anything about what AWG is.

What would be the best 6 foot HDMI cable on there?

Honestly, at 6ft, just get one that looks like its priced right. At that distance you wont notice any difference between manufacturers.

Right but I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about the type of wire. Some are better than others. According to the site category 2 and 1.3a are better quality but it says nothing about what AWG is or how it affects the product.
