HDMI Cables

[BrightSideSC]

I found a few really good deals on Rosewill HDMI Cables, and I want to know thoughts before I grab a bunch of them. They seem pretty thick, but not AS thick as some of the much pricier ones. So, Do you get what you pay for in the case of HDMI cables?

All HDMi cables are the same. They are all digital and as long as they adhere to the proper specifications, they will work fine. It either works and you see 100% of the signal, or it doesn’t work and you get nothing, sparkles, snow, or flickering. The only caveat is if you are doing in wall or seriously long runs where the actual cable makes any difference. Just plugging your Blu-Ray player or cable box into your TV? You'll be fine.

^^^this. The Redmere cables are nice because of how thin they are, if you need that.

yep also they are much lighter. some of the heavier thicker cables can put unwanted stress on the HDMI connection itself, they are generally made like crap and can break

I did a whole bunch of the $1 cables OneSale had one time and I never had a problem with any of them.

I've used cheepo's from monoprice with almost no issues, I think one has went bad over the years.

Just popped 2 of these into my TVs at home. Worked like every other HDMI cable I have ever used.

I prefer BJC HDMI and component cables. Great prices for quality cables.

I bought a few dozen of the OneSaleADay ones to give out. Haven't heard of any failures yet.

When are people going to figure out that the hype about expensive HDMI (or any other cable for digital signals) is just a bunch of bull designed only to separate the gullible from their money.
