When you have money you buy expensive stuff

Neither.

Wait I mean the solid gold gold-plated gold one.

They're the same cable, with different names to make them sound better.

take your pick
they come in 1.5-10ft and a variety of colors
they will all deliver the exact same picture

they are between 3 and 5 dollars

but but but

monster cable is shielded!
it deters interference!

$280 for a cable? fuck off

My cable box, PS3 and 360 all came with HDMI cables so I didn't think they cost anything. Why on earth would you pay that much?

Also I upgraded one of my cable boxes to HD, with all the HD channels for a one off price of £100, they gave me a free cable as well.

Sounds like you've got it wrong, there aint no difference between hdmi cables my friend.

any sort of connector is typically plated with gold to prevent corrosion of the copper wire (copper is the most conductive metal)

I know most of you are poorfags, but I don't mind spending a little more money for better quality.

I just wish I could afford some of the higher tier cables they offer.

buy any cable you want as long it supports hdmi 1.3, this is pretty much every cable except really, really cheap shit.

hdmi 1.4 is for future 3D shit and really nice theater projectors, you don't need it.

>>10173720
Are you trolling, or just an idiot?

Being priced higher doesn't mean something is better.

what I dont get is HDMI is a standard
like 802.11b/g/n, its not something individual companies can really improve upon
this shit is standard so we dont have individual companies making TV's that are only compatible with their accessories
like panasonic making a TV with a special connector on the back that only worked with panisonic Blueray players

I use a 20$ vga cable because I'm not a faggot

BABBY'S FIRST /g/ TROLL

Monster cables?! LMFAO

digital signal propagation has inherent resistance to analogue noise.

enjoy wasting your money.

Stick a condom in your ethernet port, and it protects your computer from viruses.

>Monster cables
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA no.

There is no signal loss with HDMI cables.

What the fuck is wrong with people...

In a couple years all information rich signals will be broadcast over collimated t waves placed at nodal lagrange points around your livingroom. To maximize shannon channel capacity you'll have to place all of your equipment in multiples of 2ft apart.

He's obviously trolling

But yeah. You buy the cheapest possible HDMI cable you find.

HDMI is a digital signal so it will either work or not. No amount of gold plating or adding cool looking paint will make the quality any better or worse. It's all or nothing, that 2dollar cable from exactly the same as the 500 dollar one.

Look at that fucking mark up, HDMI cables costing more then 10 bucks have to be the biggest scam in the world.

>two choices
>$280 and $140
>i cant afford the higher priced cables

>>10176025

yay capitalism. anytime you can sufficiently trick people, or create an oligopoly you may proceed to rape.

For trying

15 foot cables unlimited for 10 bucks

feels good man

CABLING IS THE MOST BLATANT MARK UP IN ALL OF CONSUMER ELECTRONICS

AT LEAST WHEN YOU BUY A SMARTPHONE ITS WORTH SOMETHING IN PARTS

MONOPRICE WOULD EAT MONSTER CABLE'S LUNCH, IF ONLY THEY SOLD THEIR SHIT IN BEST BUY WHERE THE CHUMPS BUY CABLES
