What does $1.22 get you these days? Bottle of soda, 122 turns on those penny horse rides, or an HDMI cable via Amazon. Yeah, we're not going to vouch for this cable but if you're looking for a cheap way to connect Comcast's cable box to your swanky, new Vizio LCD, this is it. Oh and if you need a cheap digital optical cable, you can order both for a whopping $2.07. Best part about $1.22 HDMI cable, you know the manufacturer is still running in the green.
$3.99 shipping per item absolutely destroys this deal.
Go to www.monoprice.com instead where the shipping is far more reasonable.
Hey, the cable is either gonna work, or its not. NO MIDDLE GROUND.
For B&M local pickup, Wally world has a decent selection of cables at reasonable prices. At least a lot cheaper than BB or CC.
I just picked up a HDMI - DVI cable for $20 the other day
I got one of these back before Christmas. Works just fine.
Shipping price is too high. Still, a good deal for those looking for an affordable hdmi cable.
Spyvie: Go to Ebay. I got a 25 foot HDMI to DVI cable for $10 (that's with shipping included).
i was looking at the manufacturers website a few days ago...couldn't figure out if they were ul/cl3 rated, hdmi 1.1, 1.2, or 1.3...no info @ all...decided against it for that reason. When i looked a few days ago, they were actually going for 99 cents.
Got one of these a LONG time ago from Amazon and it works fine. Don't be fooled by the Monster Cable BS Marketing. HDMI cables are all digital signals so it either works or it doesn't. Even with shipping is far less than any cable I would buy in a store.
this is not being sold by Amazon, its a merchant calles SF Planet.
Yeah I always get my digital cables from monoprice, which are always very cheap and yet still provide perfect picture. As long as the cable works, there is going to be no difference (not indistinguishable, but no difference whatsoever) between a $1.22 cheap HDMI cable and a ridiculously priced $100 monster HDMI cable.
That's nice, but it's not Amazon shipping it, Amazon is just the conduit here. If you've read the item at all, it says that it is from "Abacus24-7".
do you mean in the black?
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B000E8OVMQ/ref=dp_olp_2/002-5739540-2033609
has one for 2 cents, so with shipping it's 4.01 (if you have the premium account at amazon, it's free 3-5 day and $2 2day shipping, so 2.02 with 2day shipping)
damn...........
its gone up to $3.94
that sucks
