mommy got a new lcd tv so ive been wondering if theres a big difference between the cheap $5 hdmi cables on ebay and the microsoft one and if there is if any1 knows of a good cable thats cheaper than the m$ one.

I need to get a nice decent sized lcd in my room now, ive had my pc hooked up in the living room for the last week, but i just ordered another wireless card and ima put it in my old one so i can put that out there and watch movies.

HDMI is a digital connection. If it works, it works.

http://monoprice.com is a great place to buy cables.

EDIT: Woops, I didn't realize it was for a 360. I don't know then.

Don't waste money on a fancy HDMI cable. A cheap one will be fine.

I remember they had a bit on the Gadget show (UK tv show in case you're wondering) where they compared a fancy gold plated £100+ top of the range HDMI cable against one of the bog standard £10 cables. 2 HDTVs exactly the same size side by side, same make/model, same length of HDMI cable and same Blu-ray players playing the same movie as the HD source. Nobody could tell the difference which screen was using the £100 cable and which was using the £10 cable. Save your money tongue.gif

I concur, copper is still copper and the differences in conductivity are just tiny for HDMI cables.
when you buy something from a big brand, you nearly always pay extra just for the name, which is unnecessary.

edit: oops, just saw the previous post date, please forgive this necro farce.

Check Amazon.

I bought a few there over the summer for $0.91 each.

I use one of the cheap ones to connect my laptop to my t.v.
I use the one that came with my Elite to connect it to my t.v.
I can't see much difference.
