Wait a minute! you're selling Scandium alloy speaker wires to others for $100ft but you get your cables at Monoprice?

Uuuuuuuummmmmmmm. That whole 1.3abc xx.yy.zz protocol thing really screwed up the old Monk.

Another good article was the "Marketplace" TV episode where they hooked a Monster and a cheaper name brand HDMI cable to a sniffer type device and proved that 100% of the data was arriving correctly at the end device in both models.

Marketplace - Slaying a Monster

But...but...the Monster cable had the nicest packaging, you have to admit that.

This hdmi cable BS has got to be the biggest scam of all time. BTW good link on the marketplace report,i love seeing those bozo's put on the spot.

My local brick tried this on me not so long ago. I go in to do a little window shopping and this nice looking young girl comes up and asks if i would like to demo a monster cable next to a standard cable. She puts finding nemo bluray in to 2 identical bluray players and turns on 2 identical 1080p samsung panels.Next the sales girl turns on the bluray with the monster cable and of course it looks really good(for an lcd ) next she fires up the second bluray with the standard cable and it looks like total shit. I'm like wtf, no way this can be . She has to take off for a minute so i lean behind the sets and here they have one set with an monster hdmi and the other is connected with composite. Im like holy hell, what a scam. I lost all respect for that store and have not shopped there since, and i tell the story to anyone who will listen.

Im so glad im not in that racket cause seriously those kind of salesman have a bad rep and i am just not wired like that.Unfortunately there is no real markup with the panels, all the profit is in the add ons, just the nature of the beast i suppose.


peace

had some women like that.nice package but no quality once you opened the box.

BA...dooom...bah!!!

here is a nice place to get HDMI cables (and others) at a fair price

I link my computer in my home office with my LCD TV 46in in my living room for 130$ with HDMI cables

for that price a get : 1 mtr HDMI cable + 10 mtr + 2 mtr & 2 nice decora HDMI WALL PLATE.

good deal on HDMI, fair prices on others items.

Of course as soon as I say all HDMI is equal, my HDMI signal from my Cox box goes out. I go get another HD box, no go. I think the cable is fine as I swapped the connection to my PS3 and it works fine, but now I'm looking at box 3 in 3 days - how many HDMI outputs could be bad???

I should have knocked on my speaker when I said my 35ft run was working fine.

I've been using a MonoPrice 35' or 40' HDMI cable ran in-wall for about the last five years without any problems whatsoever, I remember at the time it was cheaper than most 3' HDMI cables bought at the local brick and mortar stores. No too terribly long ago I bought a 5x1 automatic HDMI switcher from MonoPrice and that little thing kicks ass, I've never had it not auto change since I've been using it and again, about half the cost of most other switchers I've looked at.

MonoPrice rocks.
