Forums - Sony - HDMI cable

Hi!

I see there is a ton of pricerange for the HDMI cable, from 10$-50$, is the cheaper ones crap or are they the kinnda the same?

I've read somewhere here before that all HDMI cables are the same quality since the signal its sending is digital, is that true?

I don't know. I want to know this too.



Just look for a brand name . I bought a $20 used Sony cable from Gamestop and it works just fine



All my HDMI cables are cheap ones with no established brand and they all work fine.



@ dsister44

Have you tested other HDMI cables than the Sony one?

The prices are like $2 to $4 a pop. The type doesn't matter unless it's several feet - like over 50 ft.



I have £2 and £15 HDMI and I cant tell the difference. I would say get the cheapest unless your using professional kit.



My $3 HDMI cables have been working fine for 3 years now. There's no difference. Digital cables either go through completely or not at all; there's no gray area.

^ Can't beat $2.99 shipped!



HDMI cables are all the same. Im using HDMI cables ranging from $10-$80 and there's no difference. From what i've been told and read, the only thing i do suggest is making sure the HDMI are gold-plated cause the silver coated arent that great. But even the cheap ones still have gold-plated.



Like someone already suggested, buy them at monoprice.com. Its where I got all of mine and never spent more than $15 shipped for a cable
