HDMI Cable

[Mex25]

I have been looking everywhere for and HDMI cable for my tv but can't find them below $90 anywhere. I even checked pricegrabber and similar sites and I could find some cables for $80 but the shipping costs are ridiculous. Was wondering if anyone knows any place that has decent HDMI cables for cheap?

I actually seen a few at Wal-Mart on their clearance rack for about $40-$50.

I just checked pricewatch and found some decent prices, but not as good as svideo.com (especially if a 3' cable is long enough for you). I don't personally have a use for these at this time, but I'm half tempted to order some anyway because the prices are so good (I won't, but I want to). Also, if the 3' cable is not long enough for you, they sell longer ones. The prices become really high at 15'+, but the 10' cable is still reasonable. Thanks klwillis45 for the link and the recommendation.

You should also check monoprice.com I've ordered quite a bit of stuff from them and they are really reasonably priced.

Thats a link to their dvi/hdmi section, the regular HDMI cables are about the middle of the page.

the one you need is like $6.50, or you can go 6ft for $7-something

Good luck

If you buy an HDMI compatible upscaling DVD player it should come with the cable...

Two different interfaces. You will need an adapter if you are looking to do DVI to HDMI.

Ok but the DVi does it transmit sound also or just the digital picture?

Looks like its pic only.

Sorry for the delay. DVI is picture only. HDMI does picture and sound. If you are going from a DVD with HDMI to a TV with DVI you can get an HDMI cable and an adapter that will work, but will only send video.

Hope that helps.

Yes and Sams has some sweet deals on these.
