For my 65" Tv I went with the best. It is not something that is going to get changed so I went with the best. Oo.

... that does seem awful cheap for HDMI cables. There really isn't anything magical about HDMI, but you have to wonder why they're so cheap. No doubt they are made in a newly industrialized nation with little or no environmental standards and substandard wages/working conditions.



Cheap stuff is seldom inexpensive when you consider the whole picture. I'm just as guilty as the next guy for buying stuff "Made in anywhere by the US"... but it is interesting to think of the long term and even short term implications of supporting the economy with a "low price at any cost" purchasing decision...

The cheapest HDMI cables I've seen on a TV style Internet site was for $17. 50 1M about 3 feet. They also go to around $120 for the same length, but claim to be better constructed, less interfence from electrical sources,microwaves, florescent motors etc, plus better conductor for signal, however I have read that a majority of people will not notice the difference between either. Of course if either end falls off price is of little help unless it's of industry standard. I see no difference between a $1 Dollar store TV splitter (run more than one TV from a single source) as a $4. 50 Radio Shack one, but others claim otherwise. I play the Middle of Center, or the Center of Middle, around half-way between each, (keep all Bases and Spaces Covered) (back to Poetry again) For a 2M about 6 feet HDMI cable I spend $80 to $120, after all it's just money, but for that price they could at least throw in a Cap or T-Shirt with their name on it. (Bragging Rights). Trying to wrestle those cables behind all that equipment I only want to do it one time. (I have much better things to wrestle with)
