What sort of HDMI Cable should I buy?

[ZForce]

I know www.monoprice.com has the best prices for cables. I'm getting an HDTV soon and I want to know which sort of cable that they sell I'll need to buy. It looks like I need a male to male cable, but what's the difference between 24AWG, 26AWG and 28AWG?

American Wire Gauge. Its standard on how you measure the thickness. I wouldn't worry about too much, its more of a concern for speaker wire and such if you were to run the through wires through walls. Their cheapest grade HDMI is fine, gold plated preferred but not necessary.

So this one would work then?

That's the one you want.

I have a 3ft HDMI cable that I have laying around if you want it for $3.50 shipped.

Thanks, but there's a couple other things I want to order from monoprice so I'll just get it all at once

I just bought a cable for $5.25 from monoprice, that's 6ft long. Works great.

The sad thing is, the same cable for the most part is like 50 bucks or more at a store

I did the exact same thing.

And, as I'm sure many of you know, cables are a big money maker for companies. Monoprice FTW!

Haha, I remember the dude at radioshack telling me it's impossible to get a HDMI cable for less then 50.00

I opted for the more expensive cable at monoprice which was still pretty cheap. Just gotta wait for that shit to get here now so I can get everything plugged into my receiver... the room's been a mess since I got the PS3.
