Only two unless its not in stock, and monoprice takes the same. I would still rather order from mono and get the cable for half of this price.

I actually bought a HDMI from dealextreme and it seems to work :lol: . I think they are HDMI 1.3a certified at least thats what it said on the box. As for the cable, it does feel more solid and stiff than monoprice cables (i have both) but i'd still go for monoprice.

Monoprice cables have been tested and have the same quality, if not better, than Monster cables. You can't go wrong with Monoprice. :)

I personally wouldn't trust any cable with Ferrite beads attached.

You get what you pay for, I guess for that price, they can't be bothered to properly shield the cable internally, they need external Ferrite Cores.

Hey, but thats just my own opinion. :razz:

Ferrites are expensive, thats why many do not use them.

Ferrites are really only useful in reducing cable to cable crosstalk and a tiny amount of external interference - if you have only one HDMI device, there is little need for them. Three or more - the ferrites start to become important.

They also must be of exact shape and length (coke can shaped like a magnetic field in no gravity space) which many cable manufacturers do not know how to attach them properly, including monster cable.

I would greatly trust monoprices cables over a generic.
A US nickel is worth more than 5 cents.

DX has been really slow lately. I recently ordered items that were in stock (said shipping in 1-3 days) but took over 2 weeks just to get shipped. it then takes another 1-2 weeks to get to my house. so 3-4 weeks sounds about right.

The only delay I ever had with DX shipping is when they were having their New Years celebrations...If the item was in stock all my orders usually ship in about 3-4 days and gets delivered to me within 10 -14 days after leaving Hong Kong...

I have no complaints with shopping @ DX but I haven't shopped there in the last 3-4 months so things might have changed..Everything I have ordered from DX as come in on time...

I just made my first order with Monoprice for 2 HDMI cables and if I get similar service as I have been getting with DX I will be very satisfied...

Off topic, but my 2 cents...

Deal Extreme is slow, now. I purchased something last Summer and it got here in about 1 1/2 weeks.

More recently, I purchased 3 items, all in stock, on Feb 14 and it is still being "packaged", before it gets shipped.
:confused:
