Rip-Off HDMI Cables

[declaration963]

I got HDMI cable for free because it's comes with the TV, and it's gold plated HDMI connector.

i got my hdmi cables for free from a friend :) suckers

[gr33nman]

This is true not just for HDMI cables. A little research can pay off.

[OutOfThesWorld]

I figured out how to connect my laptop to my flat screen tv, and i went out to radioshack to find a hdmi cable and the cheapest one was 30$ I remember seeing one online for 3 bucks and said "screw this" I than went to the Walmart nearby and bought an 6 ft hdmi cable for 9 bucks. I just feel bad for the people that are going to get scammed.

Keep in mind that HDMI is a digital signal, so the cable doesn't matter, same with DVI and Display Port. When it comes to an analog signal like VGA, a better cable is worth your money.

[WaLDo999991]

Just went to gamestop they sold them for 30 bucks what a rip.

[FightMang36]

Ebay has great hdmi cables for cheap alot of these companys charge like hell simply because of the brand name, and they tell you more expensive cables are better n ppl just blindly will believe a sales man. All those assholes are trying to do is make a quick buck and fuck you over, they dnt care if they empty ur pockets... facts are facts so do ur research and stop getting messed with!!!

[cybertec69]

This is where I get my cables from, blujeanscable or monoprice, both have fantastic cables for reasonable prices, monster cables are a complete ripoff.

[DWolf2k2]

Seriously, the only time you should ever pay more then $10 for HDMI cables is if they're extra long.

[Hopeful71]

Its a digital signal...there is no noise.

[SSduckclub]

100% True never pay over $10 for a HDMI cable ! Avoid Monster brand its a huge ripoff. Go to Amazon.com great selection pricing and quality.

[cdilJ]

What do you think about "15 ft Premium GOLD HDMI cable 1080P for HDTV 1.3 " ? Anybody has it or anybody know if this is a good HDMI cable to buy....

[FourthBattalion]

I got the $40 nyko hdmi just cause it looks cool

[lewisner]

Interesting video. The only good thing about the expensive cables is that they are in pretty colours but since (by definition) they go into the BACK of your TV/PC that's useless.

[romebx]

woow...i only paid 8 dollars for my hdmi cable from walmart, got my 47'' vizio E47OL 120hz and xbox 360 connected..looks like im in a real warzone playing call of duty!!

[anwachukwu]

i just bought 2 6 feet hdmi cables for 2.50 a piece on amazon

[lewisner]

@anwachukwu Got a 5 metre version 1.4 HDMI cable with gold plated ends for £4.50 off a dealer advertising on Ebay. Works great.

[darkstar3x16]

Only 129.99

Holy shit who falls for this? 2m is tiny mine cost $10

[wutonwen]

I'm selling these HDMI cables, from 1.3 to 1.4, and none of them are more than 1.5 USD. Length is all set on 6 ft. It's FOB HK. MOQ for 500 pcs. Go to neostar.com, or contact me directly.

[cloud9846]

"I recommend an 80$ cable"

"Do you get paid on commission?"

"No comment..."

[xbulldog12x]

I ordered mine from Monoprice just on thursday.... I CANT wait... hopefully this video is telling the truth lol i just paid 7 bucks in total shipping and handling for 4ft hdmi cable

[crazyjorge2111]

@xbulldog12x me too i paid six dollars for a 6ft hdmi cable.

[darkpal123]

funny thing is my first hdmi cable was $10 new and the problem it had was it flickered black every little while it was a real pain becuase i would be playing a game and it happened next thing i know im dead lol,

my brother also had the same one his fell apart, the little silver peace on the end fell off when he unpluged it lol they dont even have a brand, LOL

[Twixgtx]

lol. its funny because monster cable has this video that says that purchasing the right hdmi is crucial to quality and yet this video says that there is no difference in quality. i really believe that. i got a 6 foot hdmi cable for $50 and a free 10ft one that came with my cable box. they both have the same exact quality and perhaps just unnoticably different response times. its impossible to tell though, so i did get ripped off. but i bought it 3 years ago. and i have no idea where it's at. lol

[Optimus489]

After watching this, im not paying over 15 dollars for HDMI.

[Metalgearsolid1992]

there is no difference between the $5 and the $50 cable, THEY ARE ONLY EXPENSIVE BECAUSE THEY ARE NAME BRANDS!!

[ksidornseif]

monoprice [dot ] com

$4 HDMI Cable- 6'

works fucking great.

[unytcommsys]

Realize this, it's a game about perception and ignorance. The ignorant are always exploited. Also all this equipment will last on average 10 years. That is one 1/5to1/9 most life expectancy. Why give away the farm? Refurbished, used, and functional work great. Vanity is pointless.

[mangamegs]

@unytcommsys You are wise

[don813]

rofl he's at radio shaq, everything there is a rip off

[alessancastel13]

Once again money talks has saved me from purchasing a rip-off

[BayerLexan]

This is the exact conclusion I came to when I was shopping for a hd cable. It was a little odd, as the local stores, Radio Shack/Best Buy, the cheapest was in the 80 range, yet on line, they where only 5-10. Made me have to investigate further, as such a hugh price discrepancy made me wonder if there was some technical specification I was overlooking.

[scwallac]

A/V Cables are definitely the biggest consumer electronics scam around. In fact, the proliferation of digital technology makes cable quality LESS important, not more important.
