I've had good luck with My Cable Mart... Monoprice looks cheaper, but the cables I've picked up from MCM were very good quality... Next time I'll buy from Monoprice to compare the quality.

Thats my problem. I want the shit instantly...so I usually pay more to get it.

Yeah, I always try to plan ahead... If I'm buying a new peice of equipment, I always buy the cables first online if I'm buying from a store... or at the same time if I'm buying online. MCM's turn around time is lightning fast. I think I got my last order within two days IIRC...

Didn't we have a HDMI debate here not that long ago?

Wonder how this fits into that?

Did we? I musta missed it. All I know is the HDMI cables I bought from MCM were beefier than the one that came with my Xbox 360. I know that's not saying much, but when you buy two 6ft HDMI cables for $10 shipped, I was expecting less. Gold contacts, substantial casing at the connector, and beefier wire. Very happy with my purchase.

HDMI is digital, cables don't matter as long as the signal gets there. Unless you are running a very long line, you won't need super quality.

Additionally HDMI cables are built to specifications in both construction and performance. An HDMI 1.3 cable should do certain things, no matter where you buy it or what you pay.
