| 60 dollar cable at circuit city, SEE YAAAAAAAA |
My girl and I bought a 1080p- capable tv, an upsacaling dvd player and
a 60 dollar 3 foot monster cable.
When I bought the cable, I didnt know anything about HDMI Technology,
and the circuit city guy said that the monster cable was the only thing
that could "handle the bandwidth" of a 1080p signal. (as a note, he also said that a 100 monster cable was needed to handle the bandwidth of blueray, because it used 12 bit color)
I know a little about electronics, and I was baffled as to how a group of wires devoid of any semiconductor logic could cost this much. I bought the cable anyway, then did some research. Alot of people online said "A digital signal looks the same on any cable... with a digital signal it either works, or doesnt work".
I bought this cable and then did a side by side comparison of the monster cable and this one, and as the research had said, the picture was exactly the same. On both cables, the upscaling dvd player and tv were reporting a 1080p signal... so there it was - a 2 dollar cable with the "bandwidth capabiltiy" of a 60 dollar cable.
When i returned the 60 dollar cable to circuit city, I was happy as hell. I had to have my girlfried with me so I didnt act like a dick when I was getting my 60 dollars back XD |

| It does its Job |
Basically its an HDMI cable. There isn't much to it, if you want a cheap reliable cable then this will certainly do the job and you would certainly be hardpressed to find the difference between this and a Monster Cable, at least I know I was. (We compared two xbox 360s on my TV). Would definitely recommend it if you don't feel like dropping a small fortune on a cable. |
