I am looking to get an HDMI cable for my PS3. Any recommendations? I never used HDMI input before but now that I am getting a Wii I need to free up a set of component inputs (Xbox360 is on the other set ). Wasn't there a link posted before where they had HDMI cables pretty cheap?

thanks!

I must be the only person here who spent too much on a HDMI cable then. I paid 30USD for an official Sony one.

I hope you're kidding, especially when it comes to a cable that's carrying a digital signal.

how can I be joking when MonsterÂ’s technology gives you the highest performance cables for the money, using precision windings, nitrogen gas dielectrics, larger conductors, and a specially designed connector to maintain performance integrity during installation???

26AWG or 28AWG? any difference?
Gold or tin plated?

look at the most popular ones in the top page of mono price. The basis for AWG mainly depends on how long your cable is going to be.
 
If you don't get monsters, you're pretty much gaming in the passed. Amazes me how all the alleged "experts" here will spend hundreds and hundreds on systems and games and then cheap out on a cable. only go for the best dude

More joking? This thread is confusing. :lol

Yea Monoprice.
 
Wait. Didn't Moster themselves show that there is no difference in short runs of HDMI cables? They recently invited the press to a demonstraion of Monster cables vs monoprice cables.

If I remember correctly:

At 720p there was absolutly no difference at all in any cable
At 1080p there was only a difference when you got to something like 10 or 20 meters of cable.

..here you go:

in the short run, maybe, but in the long run you are better off going with the higher quality parts. it's just like with cars and other high end produce.

So you are not joking?

Did you read the above article?

If I'm using a 9 dollar 3 foot HDMI cable I can pretty much send anything down it without issue. Even stuff beyond the current specs of anything available.

So...you are serious? I can't quite understand how you can be.
