Bought a toslink cable, a coax cable, some rca extenders, and a 4-in-1 component cable for 20 bucks!

I know this is an old thread but I just found it and wanted to also point you guys towards www.cablesforless.com I've always had good luck with them and comparing the 2 sites it looks like their prices are about the same if not lower and I've always had a great turn around time on my orders there.

Holy crap. I ordered a 6ft HDMI cable, 50ft CAT6 cable, and 6ft Wii component cable. Not only did it come to less than $20 after shipping, but I got an email less than a minute later saying it had shipped. Amazing.

They have some sort of PS2/PS3 component cable that's going to be in stock at the end of the month... if the one for the Wii is any good, I'll definitely be picking it up.

Ordered two HDMI cables for less than $15 including shipping on Monday and already have them here today!

Perhaps, but I have to say, their shipping is crazy fast (especially for how cheap it is). They're almost like Netflix. It's never more than a two days before I get my order.

Might be a stupid question but.... What are the best HDMI cables from Monoprice? I wanna get two--one for my PS3 and one for my 360 and they have a lot of different kinds.

Shoot, I always thought Monster Cables were the best. What is wrong about them? They have not let me down so far.

I wrote up a lot on this earlier so I'm just going to point you there.
Here are some options, and here is an explanation of the options if you care to read it (it's a lot and hopefully accurate).

There isn't anything technically wrong with them (save perhaps hefty coating to make the cables feel more weighty, which can tug at your device from them being too rigid and heavy), they are just overpriced. HDMI is strictly a situation of either you get signal or you don't, so a $10 cable == $200 cable. Sorta sucks for consumers since this is not that widely known.

Thanks! I didn't expect an answer that quick.

I just bought some Wii Componant cables and xbox VGA cables shipped for $22.03

Pretty good price. Hopefully the VGA cables are long enough since Im hooking them to the TV raplcing the componant slot for the wii.

I just received my 50ft. cat5 cable order and am greatly pleased. I ordered it Friday morning and it was here Monday and it only cost roughly $13. Sweet.

Wow....I ordered the cables Sunday, they shipped Monday and they arrived today!

Less than 3 days from California to NY....really fast shipping.

So wait.... is monoprice good?

I kid! I kid!

I've never ordered from them before, about to give it a shot. If for some reason this sucks I'm coming after all of you!!!!


Don't you love keeping an old thread alive?

Post your experience with them, what you think of the quality, etc.

You are welcome sir. Glad people are getting some use out of this thread.

I just jumped online to ask what the best place was to buy a couple foot long Optical Toslink cable. Glad to see this thread up top. I have two questions though...

1) Which Optical cable is recommended? Can't spend a whole lot, but a middle range amount would be fine. I was looking at the premium one there. I want to connect my 360 to the Pioneer home system.

2) Anyone want a pair of bratty cats? The white one who just chewed through my optical that I hooked up YESTERDAY is first to go.

I'll pass on the cats, but I do think the premium cable (if that's the one I'm thinking of) would serve you best. They have the metal braiding on the cable part and strong, sturdy metal end connectors as well. That's the one I always I order.

I've ordered some of those premium optical cables from monoprice, great quality and they're very fast at shipping orders. Just ordered an s-video cable and a digital audio coaxial cable on Sunday and they shipped my order out on Monday, $11 after Priority shipping. I had previously gotten those two cables at Radio Shack for $38 total ($15 digital coax cable and $22 s-video cable were the cheapest at the store I went to, had a feeling it was overpriced!) and knew monoprice would probably be a lot cheaper, so I took those back for a refund after placing my order. Never shopping at Radio Shack again!

do they have a free shipping code ¿?

if not then they are comparable if not more expensive than PCMicroStore.com. ( they frequently have 3 off 6 or 5 off 10 deals)
