Oh yeah, that monoprice is just a few miles from my house so local pick-up is an option. Came to $6.74 for 2 cables (one purple, one red).

Nice call, fellas!!!!

Congrats. I'm still kicking myself for not jumping on the Kuro deal last month. It was a commercial version 50" for about $1300. I prefer the monitor type since I use the HT for sound anyways.

Ugh. I will find a Kuro before it goes the way of the dodo next year....

Congrats on the new TV, Mark! And good to see you back on the boards again.

I went the same route and picked items up from Monoprice when I used to live in SoCal. Makes it an even better deal!

Mark, great to hear from you again. Nice buy on the LG(50PQ30?). As you probably have actually noticed, if anything, the tolerance for high priced cables is lower than ever with the availability of good quality/low priced stuff from places such as MonoPrice and the similarly priced Tartan line from Blue Jeans.

Dang, whenever I read the thread title I thought maybe somebody must have dug an old thread from the archives because we sure haven't seen the likes of you around these parts lately Mark ... good to see you again and congrats with the new digs.

I usually get all of the wiring needs from the liquor store for me and Monoprice.com for the electronics ... can't beat either place!

Very good, Rick!

Oh, Mark, tell me you didn't buy the purple cable! You didn't know?

Sounds like a good setup, Mark. I'm kinda pissed at you about the cheap delicious beer, though. ;\)

Yeah, Fred; Mark Williams, formerly a prison guard who was referred to by the inmates as "Big Will"(among other terms).
