HDMI Cable scams revealed
-
Reminds me of the electronic shops in downtown Manhattan, NY. I saw a TrendNet wireless usb for $200. It costs $10 at MicroCenter, $20 (with 10 rebate). Also, reminds me of the entire store called Radio Shack.
Radio shack seems to mostly sell phones these days.

I am certainly not one to buy HDMI cables (They can be acquired for free legally if you know how) but I can see how some more expensive cables have better shielding to prevent dropped packets. While the linked article definitely contains a lot of words it did not contain a test of compliance with the HDMI standard nor a test of error rate in a high noise environment. (Run a microwave next to your HDMI cable or something) Again, I am not advocating more expensive cables but I would prefer to see a research over statements.

Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

Because disinformation and bad information gets us into bad ways and those who traffic in it are crooks. Willful deception is a con. You'll think differently when it happens to you.

You are not making any sense. Of course it sucks to be on the bad end of this. So unless you're at the bad end of this, so what?
I hear you Harold. It may be unethical but not illegal. Like those HTML/VB developers of the 90s charging 200 bucks an hour for work that required the intellect and knowledge of a trained 6 year old. :-D

Interesting non-baised article .. http://hdguru.com/hdmi-cable-makers-and-dealers-use-misleading-labels-to-push-needless-expensive-upgrades/2175/[^]
Check out http://www.monoprice.com/[^] for great deals on HDMI cables (and tons of other stuff). I've bought several, and they work great.

"The staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - J. Jystad, 2001Base rate shipping for a 3' HDMI cable bumped the price from about $2.50 to $5. Monoprice runs a very lean operation. Edit: Unless you're already at the store once you factor in time/gas money even next day shipping (+$20) is arguably cheaper for one cable. Adding additional cables only added an extra buck fiftyish/cable or less at all shipping rates; so unless you need them today monoprice is cheaper for bulk orders even if after factoring in next day shipping costs.
