After years of using an RF tv, I finally bought an HDTV!!!! Although i am only 5-6 feet away from the viewing distance, it is an 1080p/120HZ 32" inch refurb vizio. But for $378, I can't say no (would've been $352 but tax -_-).


So my question here is does anybody know a decent priced HDMI cable for the ps3? I know monoprice is the place, but there's so many and i dont know which one is the best.

any hdmi cable from monoprice will work. Dont spend more than $10 on an hdmi cable. My goodwill gets opened target cables all the time and if theyre not in the package you might get them for $1 apiece. As far as Wii component cables though I went with the official Nintendo one.

Try monoprice.com for the cables that's where I bought my HDMI cable for my PS3

You can get component cables at Monoprice too.

ahh I remember seeing the wii component cable in the deals thread but i lost it -_- ( a link would be helpful, please)

as for ps3, im on monoprice, this is what i get for searching it:

just measure how long of a cable you need and order the cheapest one. there really isnt any image degrading with hdmi until you get like over 15ft in length

would this work?

i dont see where it specifies it for ps3..

you can definitely get a wii component cable from monoprice.

im assuming 3 selected items below will work absolutely fine?

I just got the Amazon Basics HDMI cable for $4.78. They look good so far.

yeah that hdmi cable should be fine. i was under the impression that there is a quality difference to component cables and that Nintendos are better then third party.

Just bought an HDMI cable from amazon for $2.38

So is there a quality difference when buying HDMI cables varying in lengths? for example a 3ft HDMI cable will have better quality than a 6 ft HDMI cable.

HDMI will work up to like 50ft... maybe even 100ft without a digital extender repeater.

HDMI comes in flavors, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3... 1.3c

1.2 will work fine, 1.3c will offer better color matching only if the device and TV will use it.

I think they might be up to 1.3e

HDMI cable should be fine as long as it's above 1.1

Oh shoot i have no idea what you just said. Will the cable I bought on amazon work with this tv? Hopefully its thte right one. i dont see it anywhere nor does the cable specify it. I thought hdmi cable was just the same like the rest.

For what it's worth, when I got my first HDTV last Christmas and ended up getting $350 in Best Buy gift cards, I ended up buying an 80 dollar Monster HDMI cable there since I knew nothing about them. About a month ago I bought 2 $3 HDMI cables off of Amazon. Tested the $3's to the 80 dollar one. They're all 6 feet cables. Yeah...there's a definite quality difference. Just be cautious/try to luck out.

:( ?? So now im really confused on which HDMI cables to get on monoprice that I can get the most of out of my ps3.

dont listen to alphapanda, monster cables are an f'n rippoff and arent any better than monoprices hdmi cables. best buy employees get the monster cables for like $7 since theyre so overpriced for consumers. that amazon cables does 1080p and 7 channel surround sound so it should be just fine

oh i know already know they are a ripoff.

Yes, it'll work, unless it's some ridiculously low-quality cable.

And to the poster saying Monster Cables are better than Monoprice cables, there is no quality difference between them.

I looked at the reviews on amazon regarding the HDMI cable I bought and it gave me mixed reviews. Majority said it worked however some people stated that it didnt work on their ps3. that got me worried.
