HDMI cable for the Samsung LN46A630 The retail sales guy at CC said that I needed the 800 series $90 Monster HDMI cable in order for the 120 hz auto motion plus technology to work or be noticeable on the Samsung 630. Is this correct? Or will the Amazon premium $10 cable do the job?Confused.

I want to but the LN46A630 and want to ensure that I get the correct HDMI cable that will support 120 HZ, etc. So what exact product should I get? When folks reply, please give the model # so I know what to get. Thanks!

The fact that Circuit City is closing all stores should answer this question :)

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..!

I just bought a Samsung LN46A630. In addition to the replies posted re this discussion, I called Samsung directly and they recommended a v1.3 cable. I ordered the Premium HDMI v1.3 cable from Amazon ($9.99). Hope to install this weekend.

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).

"Who Dat" is correct in his statement on 2-23-13 that this is a 120hz with the 240hz clear/full motion plus. We were fooled by the Samsung advertising on the same TV which stated 120hz clear/full motion on the box. It was only 60hz. We don't use the 240hz "plus" function. We don't see the benefit.

i've had really great results with the "cables to go" hdmi cable. $10 a piece here at amazon. they work just as well as the $70 monster cable i also have. if i still had the box for the monster cable, i would return it and get another "cables to go" cable.

I just bought mine from Sears for $879 and a 14mo. 0% finance offer. Had tried here and Best Buy but both were out of stock. Only concern I have now is whether to add the service agreement. I may make a bet that the 630 will last past the insurance coverage term anyway. Service insurance can be an expensive gamble. Knock on wood, I've NEVER had to use any that I bought in the past, plus Samsung does have a really good reliability record with their products. I'll be back with my first impressions of the 40b630 after Christmas. It's a gift for my wife!

The one Amazon sold me was a Samsung panel going by the code used in the serial number. Samsung for some reason uses more than one manufacturer to build their panels. Perhaps it is to produce less expensive versions of this model for people who live in poorer countries. From what I understand from reading the official HU8550 forum on AVSForum, there are other dealers who are undercutting retailers like Amazon and Best Buy selling the cheaper non-Samsung panel versions, but Amazon was not one of them. This is likely why Amazon does not price match some electronics stores as what they sell is not a direct match in quality to Amazon's products despite using the same model name to describe the TV.

Any adapter should work. No need to pay a premium to Samsung. What you're looking for is micro-HDMI to HDMI though, not mini-HDMI. Using that to search should make it easy to find a good selection of adapters and cables.

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.

Ignore the post about the Monster HDMI cable. The HDMI signal is digital and it pretty much makes it there OK or you'll see some obvious picture artifacts that don't include blurring. While Monster (mostly) makes good cables, their claims of higher quality video are mostly hype. Motion blur: It's most likely to be the source material with the modern offerings of good LCD TVs, but older or less expensive LCDs could definitely suffer from it due to the slow response time of the LCD panel. If you're wondering about it in regards to TVs that do 120Hz, I'm on the fence on whether the 120Hz processing does anything useful. I've seen some TVs where the 120Hz processing does some pretty ugly things to the picture. I'm yet to see one that does something to noticeably improve the picture, but maybe some do. Right now I'm leaning towards 120Hz processing being a marketing feature primarily created to make you think your current TV is obsolete.

I'm not sure what you're asking. I have purchased 2 Samsung LED, 1080p televisions and am very happy with both. I purchased my 55" locally (60mhz) locally and my 50" (120mhz) through Amazon. I had my 55" mounted to my wall and I purchased my wall-mount kit through Amazon and did far better on price than I could locally. Both tv's are working beautifully and, since I needed no mounting for the tv through Amazon, set-up was a breeze. My tv came in perfect condition and remains so. The price was the very best available at the time I bought it. It beat all local store's prices and arrived really fast. Zero problems. Hope this helps. I'm not sure what you're asking.

There is absolutely no difference between HDMI cables. It is a digital cable (0's and 1's) so don't buy into the marketing of the more expensive cables. Monster Cable sells HDMI cables for $70+ and they are known for bad business practices. Here's one for less than $4: HDMI (2 meter) 6 foot cable HQ 1080P 1.3b All I know about surge protectors is the higher number of joules, the better.

I have the A3, and you can use an HDMI cable (as cheap as $6, shipped, from meritline.com), or component cables (that site has mulitple, inexpensive cables). I recommend an HDMI 1.3 cable, because some movies won't output at full resolution over a component cable--plus, 1.3 supports the latest features, including "deep color"). Just don't get suckered into the Monster "$200 HDMI cable"--that's crap. A $5 cable will do the exact same thing, as long as it's not defective. If I remember correctly, you can use regular RCA cables, in a pinch, and S-video.

I was reading, and antoher thing, its that 69 has 1.3 HDMI, which 71 seems doesnt have it. I checked Samsung site, and if you do a comparisson, says the same: 69 with 1.3HDMI, while 71 its not. BUT, if any one has the 71 please confirm this with the factory books that came with the TV.

I purchased the 65 inch 3D LED Samsung TV, and then got the best Logitek web cam I could find, only to discover that Samsung is worse than Sony in making their proprietary systems. You have to have a $200 SAMSUNG web cam for it to work, not JUST a $150 Logitek. My guess is that if your TV is a Samsung, you have at least a 50% chance that it will work. If you are getting a recently released model, it may not work with an older model Samsung web cam. The documentation that came with my TV specifically stated that only this particular model is compatible. Good Luck!!

I did lot of research on why additional $100 for similar spec TV. I found 2 major diff1. less HDMI port2. Lack of built in WIFI. But there is Ethernet port on 6003 and one can buy WI-FI adopter and get it going. BestBuy suggested (infact demanded) to only use Samsung adopter which is about $60.
