Hot : DVI Cables

[Link]

I don't think I've seen such high quality DVI cables at such low prices.

Limited Time Radio Shack Deal

I bought a DVI-D cable and I was surprised by the thickness (1/2"!!!) of the cable when I received it.

 

[us3rnotfound]

Already got one, Link. Thanks anyway.

 

[Kavikgold]

is this b&m as well? (the one's that don't say web-only of course )

I don't think I would consider this Hot since monoprice.com offers cables for less cash. Not to mention they list the gauge of the internal wires, and they are proven to be high quality.

:thumbsup:

I've bought 4 DVI cables through monoprice, very good deal...

These aren't bad cables, but they are web only so shipping is involved. If they were in store then this would be a better deal unless you order over $50 to get free shipping. I have had great luck with svideo.com for my cables as they are good quality, and very inexpensive. I also work at a Radio Shack and believe most of their cables to be overpriced and overrated. This is usually the case at many retailers. I feel for the poor dude that shells out $130 for a Monster Cable DVI cable because he thinks it is superior to the $10 at svideo.com or monoprice.

I am not crapping here, just want to inform. Bottom line here is that the RS cables are nice cables if you can get them at a decent price and not have to pay shipping. Otherwise svideo.com, monoprice.com and a handful of other online stores will be a better choice.

I used to buy from pccables until I found monoprice...voila! Great stuff with great prices. Monoprice rules. Make sure you get a thicker gauge size because it does make a small difference.

Too bad, no component video DVI cables

 

[iseestars]

nice price on dvi cables, didn't get one, but did get a dvi-hdmi adapter cable for $28 shipped. Not bad for the ability to output to my tv.

There's no such thing. Component video is 3 coax cables (usually RCA, but can also be BNC connectors), DVI is digital.

You might be talking about DVI-I cables, which can carry either a DVI or analog signal, but the analog version is usually RGB, not component

I just bought a bundle from monoprice.com, awesome price & very reasonable s&h
dvi-hdmi adapter cable = ~$6
dvi cable = ~$5
etc

 

[videopho]

Monoprice.com will be my cables provider until we all completely go wireless

:thumbsup:

 

[cmbehan]

the first thing I though of when I saw this topic was Monoprice.com.


Great prices on some quality cables.

 

[superHARD]

cheap HDMI too

 

[Skiddex]

i am looking at component cables, will i notice a big difference between their premium set and nonpremium?

If it's less than $10 extra, I would go for the premium there, as analog seems to be a bit more touchy about that sort of thing.

Of course, if you're upgrading from composite or S-video, it's going to look better either way

 

[dr wily]

i concur on the monoprice thing, i got some optical and hdmi cables for wicked cheap and ridiculously low shipping.

i have a thin dumpy component cable from radioshack, and a fancy heavy gauge one with the tight gold connectors that cost 80$ long ago and cant tell a difference. '

oh yeah and this is for a 53 inch 720p DLP tv

 

[john333]

Hmm, even the monoprice web site looks expensive to me.

I just got a very good quality 15' DVI cable (dual-link dvi, though I'm only using it for single at 1920x1200) for $11 from ebay - $0.99 for the cable, and $9.95 for shipping. VERY fast shipping.

And guess what? The ebay seller was monoprice.com... Have a search -they have lots of cables for sale on ebay just now.

Suckers. I (we) would be darmed.

Not exactly true. I have a DVI to Component cable that I use between my Amp and DVI projector. The cable has 3 component cables on one end and a DVI-I on the other. So yes, it runs an analog, not a digital signal, but in a manner of speaking, a DVI - component cable does exist.

Well, if you want to get technical, component is YPbPr. Yours is DVI-I to 3-rca RGB, different signal.

 

[chexi]

Actually, it is YPbPr to DVI-I. It works on Component YPbPr out to DVI-I. I generally do not use it, opting instead for a DVI-D signal from HTPC to the projector, but if I do not want to wait for the bootup and want to use my set top DVD player, I do use it. It works fine.

Not where I got mine several years ago, but here is another one. Link to DVI-I to Component Cable
