    I've read alot of posts about people not paying the outrageous "best buy" type prices for hdmi cables and going with amazon or monoprice cables for like $4-$10 or so.. is there a difference between all of these cables? Or are they all the same? Is there a difference b/t 1.3 and one that doesnt state its 1.3? is there a difference b/t 1.3 and 1.3b or c? i'm in the market for some new cables but i dont want to break the bank unless i absolutely have to. any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks ahead of time.

    I, and a friend of mine, buy all our cables from monoprice. And we haven't had any problems at all.

    Now, to expand on HDMI and many Q&A's. Any question you may have, should be answered here:

    I have one of those $4.00 HDMI cables from amazon.com. THeirs a big difference, about a $70.00 difference haha.. Ok really, the cheap cable works just fine on my upconverting dvd player to my HDTV.. I was wary also and i bought 2 of them because they combined shipping,(incase the 1st one was bad) so i got the 2nd cable for like $3.00 more. it's still in the plastic here.
    1.3?? eh i don't know what thats all about, but the cheaper cables are the only way to go for me..
