Different colors!

Sure, you COULD do it that way...

But wouldn't that require creative advance planning and eliminate lots of swearing? Where's the joy in that?

I got a 50' HDMI cable from Blue Jeans in the mail yesterday. The thing is a beast. You should be fine with Monoprice for the shorter run, don't have any experience with 'em myself, but that toslink cable is perrrrrrdy.

I have all Monoprice cables on my system and they work fantastic. I have an in-wall rated 25foot HDMI cable and the only negative (if you can call it one) is that the ends of the cable are HUGE!

My plasma is an on-wall install and the cable forced the TV a good 5 inches away.. the solution was buying a 90 degree HDMI male to female connector also from monoprice which allowed me to drop the cable down along the back of the instead of straight back.

Four years ago I needed a HDMI-DVI cable, it was either pay $28CDN to have one delivered from California or buy from FutileShop and pay $168. I cringe everytime I'm in that store and listen to the salespeople talk to first time HDTV buyers.

Needless to say I went with Monoprice.

I have two thoughts on the cable idea:

  • 1) colour code the different cable types (buy all blue for opticals, or buy all blue for tv connections, etc.)
  • 2) buy all the same colour (e.g. like the Axiom black sheath) so that everything looks uniform in the rat's nest coming from the rear

Thoughts?
I'm leaning towards option 2.

I got a thirty foot hdmi for my dad. Works great at 1080p. My whole system is put together with monoprice. I think I got like 14 cables for 55 or something ridiculous. Then they all looked great and work perfectly.

Or you could colour code for each device(blue for dvd, black for sat/cbl, etc)
