Good and cheap HDMi cable.

[ToriksLV]

I am searching for cheap but good and trusted HDMI cable. Can anyone suggest one? I want to connect my PS3 and later PS4 to my monitor. :)

 

P.S. Sorry if i posted in wrong forum section.

Anything will do as far as image quality is concerned. The difference between cheap and expensive is the build quality. I know this doesn't answer your question, but it might help you to just go out and pick something cheap at your local store

HDMI cables are seriously one of the biggest rackets in the industry. Where I work, they cost maybe 30 dollars a cable but we get them for about 4 dollars at cost.

 

HDMI carries a digital signal. Ones and Zeros. There's no noise or snow to worry about unlike composite and component cables, so if you're getting any signal at all you're getting the full signal.

 

Go to Walmart and buy the cheapest cable you can find.

Last time I got a cheap HDMI cord it would lose connection with either my GPU or Monitor and then reconnect. This would go on from one time to five minutes. Then I finally just went to Best Buy to get a new one.

I have some cheap cable from newegg, look at the ones with the most reviews. You could get this one http://www.amazon.com/AudioQuest-Diamond-2m-Braided-Cable/dp/B003CT2A2M/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1369843822&sr=1-1&keywords=diamond+HDMI

All my HDMI cables were bought off of eBay (3x for about $2.99) and all work perfectly fine on various devices, including multiple GPU's.

 

Cheap cables can have shielding/distance issues, or might be flaky (lose connection, etc), but those cables would be considered "defective", especially with dropped connections.

 

Best places to buy the cables are www.ncix.com, newegg, amazon, or monoprice. Just make sure to read customer reviews of the cables.

 

Buying an HDMI cable at BestBuy is a VERY BAD idea. In 99% of cases, the cheapo ones from monoprice, etc, are just as good.

A few years back I picked up a pair of these for my consoles (X360 and PS3) and they're really durable. Click on the image to bring up more images of someone showing the cabling/wiring.

The only time you really need to start to worry about the build quality of a cable is when you're carrying an analoge signal (VGA monitors and audio) or some extremely high bandwidth digital application (40Gb ethernet, 32Gb IB, etc).

 

So basically any cable will do.

This HDMI cable is free after the MIR. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882021238&nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL053013&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL053013-_-EMC-053013-Index-_-CablesACPowerCordsforLaptop-_-82021238-L0H

monoprice.com is your friend. I never seriously understood the justification of buying a premium HDMI cable.
