because i can get 2 cable from monoprice for $10

Even the GREATLY reduced price of $28 is WAAYYYYY too much for a 3 foot cable!

+1 I wouldn't pay more than $5 for a 3ft cable, it hardly reaches anywhere so it's less versatile. Meant for really closely placed devices.

He didn't have RETAIL in the thread title before. Not threadcrapping, just talking about monoprice for those who are still unaware of the usual insane markup of retail cables.

yeah I realized after all the monoprice promoting that I'd need to add retail for them to understand lol. I wasn't necessarily posting about the cheapest possible price but the cheapest I've found, and hopefully others too, in retail walk-in stores.

I was tempted to pick up one myself but I only need an HDMI to DVI right now and it's not urgent so I didn't. Plus I'm getting a $5 one from NCIX.

Monster cables hooked up to a Bose sound system will ensure you're getting the best bang for your buck...

are you sure they didn't mean best buck for your bang/bank?

Yep, I know, it's Monster, yep I know about Monoprice. Say what you will, but VIsions has the Monster HDMI800 Cable going for 28 Dollars.

The C2 Tech brand cables look very similar to that picture. I wonder if C2 Tech and Century Concept Digital are just rebranded Monsters? Then again I bet Monsters are simply rebranded from some other brand anyway.

Still as another user said $28 is not worth 3ft. You get a pass for Monsters if it was a 6ft cable.



I wish someone could find pics of the ones I posted because I can't find any at all

No you can't.. factor in shippng and exchange rate, a single cable is over $10.. you're looking at about $17 for 2.. I'd much rather just get 2 from B/M and save shipping time.. time is money too you know.

I only need an HDMI to DVI right now

My cousin had a HDMI>DVI (with a DVI>HDMI adapter) as a spare which he gave to me when I got my PS3, and I only need a regular HDMI (although I suppose I could play PS3 on the 22" computer monitor in my room if I ever needed to). Jack sprat, could eat no fat...

Nice , thanks OP

And it comes with the slowest shipping in the world. I'm still waiting on a Nov. 24 order.

i got a couple of c2 tech ones at superstore.. i want to buy at monoprice too but rather pay a bit more and have it right now..

Same here, want to buy at monoprice too but I also wanted to enjoy my new TV, BR Player and HTIB during Christmas, so I bought two 6' HDMI over at factorydirect for $8.88 each and they both works fine.

For those that are still so hyped about Monster Cable... please read this professional article:

From there on, you might start to believe that monoprice actually is the better choice.

Wow.. that is not right. I'ver ordered from mono 4 times now and everytime it takes between 7 - 10 days. I wonder if CP is having some problems (shock!) because we've been waiting for an international package (not from mono) that was shipped via air for about as long as you've been waiting.

Anyways, if you can be patient then you can't beat mono. But I also understand how it is when you buy a new electronic gadget. That's why I always order like 4 HDMI cables at a time.

Ya... but you can still get 5 identical quality cables from Monoprice for $30.

There's nothing special about Monster. If Monster were $5 and Monoprice were $4.75, I'd still take Monoprice.

+1. Yup. I'm also a monoprice customer. It's so friggin cheap. For those who need to use their TV/components right away, you can buy the cables from Walmart and return it when the shipment from monoprice arrives.

Just checked on this, this is an in store buy only. I would have purchased these if I could have.

For those set on purchasing Monster cables, if you're in the GTA:

3ft Monster HDMI cable for $19.95

4ft Monster HDMI cable for $29.95

There seems to be lots of stock on the 3 footer, not so much on the 4 foot. Not available online either.

Oh, and +1 for monoprice. I use a combination of those and C2 from RCSS (when I need one NOW)

just brought their orange cable on special came up to just $5 on each cable with shipping together

and for shipping time, it has never take more than 5 days for me, i've brought my cable on Dec 27 and it came to my door just after 5 business day.

If you need some quickly, you can get a 6 feet HDMI-DVI cable for 7$ at Maddison in Laval and probably at Addison in Montreal. They also have HDMI cables at "fair" local prices...
