Saturday, August 21st, 2010Don’t let the Monster Cables, Best Buys and Game Stops of the world try to fool you into thinking an HDMI cable needs to cost $65. That is an absolute SCAM.
A cable is a cable is a cable, and when it comes to digital transfers it either works or it doesn’t. This cable WORKS. I use it between a PlayStation 3 and a 40″ LCD TV. The connection feels solid, audio/video sound and look completely fine, and the cable even seems reasonably durable (not that you need to be running around and doing Van Halen jumps with your TV or anything).
The performance difference between this $2 cable and the $100 vacuum-sealed mercury-gold quintuple-twisted zircon-encrusted foot-polished ones you’ll find at the store is so small you’d have to be in some kind of lab to see the difference. Either that, or you have to be a gullible idiot. It’s your call, whatever.
Here’s a much better way to spend $65. 1: Buy this cable ($5 total). 2: Buy Planet Earth: The Complete BBC Series [Blu-ray] ($50) 3: Pick up a dimebag from the local riff-raff ($10) 4: Have a kickass weekend in your hi-definition party lair.
