hdmi cables: Is there a difference between $12 hdmi cables and monster $100 hdmi cables

The $12 cable works well for me. It did take over a week to arrive in the mail however. I think the local Radio Shack sells a lot of expensive cables to people who want to get their system running and forgot to order a cable when they ordered a system.

I purchased this for a gift to my son. I believe you not need anymore cables. My son never mention that he had to buy a HDMI cable but then again he could of own one already.

Well the Monster Cable Gamelink is only sending signal of 480p to the TV. If you want full 1080p HD picture you would need to us this adapter with HDMI cable. I purchased this with HDMI cable and it makes a world of a difference in the picture.

For anyone wanting to purchase low-priced audio/video cables (HDMI, DVI, component etc), here is a great website - www.monoprice.comI ordered from this company 4 times in the past year, and they usually ship the same day. Be sure to select Priority Mail if you want the quickest delivery. Don't overpay for "name-brand" HDMI cables, when monoprice has them for around $10 (different lengths have various prices). Hope this info helps!

I haven't found an HDMI cable that won't do 3D. My $2.99 HDMI cable runs 3D from blu-ray or online streaming to my receiver and then another $2.99 cable to my projector just fine and I have no issues.There are several tests showing Monster cable vs any generic HDMI cable with no differences.

You will be just fine with any brand name HDMI cable. Just keep the run under 15 feet. I like Monster Cable.

We bought this cable a long time ago. If I remember correctly it did come in Monsters packaging. We had a ton of trouble with these cables (we purchased another one as well). Luckily we used Best Buy Geek Squad to do our installation and they replaced this cable with one from their store and were going to send this one back to Monster. They indicated Monster honors their products no matter where you purchase them. Howver, I would proceed with caution buying this way vs. paying the extra money to get it through Best Buy or other retailers who have liberal return policies. It could have been a fluke but both cables we bought on here were bad. We just got lucky with Best Buy replacing them for us... We bought this cable a long time ago.

not sure if this cable your talking about is the one I purchased, but I only got one for my roku hook-up. Read reviews that said to use a better hdmi cable. Working fine for me so far but it never gets moved around or anything.

No.. Do NOT spend $90 on a HDMI cable. All you need is a HDMI 1.3 compliant cable and you can get yours for as low as 6$ from Meritline. The Monster cables are a huge scam..!

Whether its monster or not they're all made most likely in China. HDMI isn't something that you need to worry about the type unless you have a resolution like 4k. Then you should probably get HDMI 1.4 but get any cable that's the cheapest. It either displays the picture or it doesn't. It will NOT make the picture any better looking. To answer your question I have not and will not ever buy from monster so I do not know about their warranties.

Save your money and purchase an Amazon HDMI cable. I use them and they are perfect in every way.

Thank you, Erika. I'll be getting some inexpensive HDMI cables, then, most likely the AmazonBasics. Happy New Year!L

I'm assuming this is a 4K setup? I do not know for 100% certain, I believe everything in their specs say yes, but you might simply write to Monster or either of the other two manufactures you mention here. Good luck, I'm almost certain these will pass any UHD signals via HDMI.

I am certain you can buy a higher quality HDMI cord but the question is, "Will I be able to tell the difference in quality?" I really don't think so.

any cheap HDMI cable offered from Amazon will do. I bought this TV in early October (from Amazon) and also purchased 2 - $5 dollar cables (also from Amazon). You do NOT need the fancy HDMI cables that cost $100+. For a little reference, advice, see this site, (CNET). http://reviews.cnet.com/hdmi-guide/?tag=pm (i don't work for Cnet or Amazon or any of the vendors, i was in the exact same position as you, and made the mistake once of buying expensive cables. never again, there is no difference in the picture, and my bluray is connected to this tv via a $5 HDMI cable thats 12 feet long. Monster cables that long would run near $200, and it just is not worth the money)

Nope, not necessary. You will probably want a 1.3 spec Cat 2 cable. That will set you back about $5 plus shipping. The cable people are at monoprice.com. Most HDMI cables are 6 feet. If that works for you this is what you should buy...http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp;_id=10240&cs;_id=1024008&p;_id=3992&seq;=1&format;=2.

Yes, You are right my man. My $2.00 + Shipping Amazon Hdmi Cable is giving me a perfect picture. If you needed Monster Cables @ $200.00 each then a person would need to spend $1,000.00 for cables to get all his toys hooked up... I think I will spend $10 and use the other $990.00 on a good sound system.. Ho! Ho! Ho! and have a Samsung Christmas......
