Which HDMI cable should i buy?

<< < (3/5) > >>

Mag-X:
Seriously guys, do not spend more than $5 on an HDMI cable. Unless you're going for a really really long distance (so long you'd have to search for special cables) any cable will do. Either it really works, or it really doesn't. There is no in between. A $3.50 HDMI cable will deliver exactly the same quality as a $150 gold plated Monster cable. Period.

Xtras:
Yeah I agree with Mag-X. Perhaps 5 is a bit extreme, but you shouldn't need to pay more than 25 dollars for an HDMI cable.

One of my friends had a 85$ gold plated 10 foot cable. It failed on him after two weeks. My much cheaper Belkin models are now 5 months strong. Price doesn't necessarily indicate quality with these, so don't be fooled too easily.

Mag-X:
$25 for a single cable is a rip off. I got 4 pack of HDMI cables at Fry's for $10. You can get single cables for $3-6 on monoprice.com

NaRu:
The cheapest HDMI cable will do the job. (1080p 120Hz)

I got myself a 10 dollar cable from monoprice and I haven't notice anything wrong with it.  Though I am hardly a HD freak.
