    Default Best HDMI Cable for the $$$

    What is the best cable for the money? I'm looking for a cable for my Ps3 and so far Sony's is the only one I see that is reasonable for $50 something dollars at Walmart besides $80 elsewhere. Monster cables are way too overpriced; the most expensive one is $100. I've seen some that are never heard of and costs under $20 or around there. What are some good cables you all use?

    They don't have any HDMI cables for the Ps3; only components for the ps2/ps3. Cheap prices though. Appreciate it.

    Monster cables are way too overpriced; the most expensive one is $100

    That M1000 HD is what I have and I don't regret shelling out 81 bucks for it. You can tell the different between my Ps3 at 720p compare to My nieghbor Sony HDMI Ps3 at 720p. His looks good but mine look better espically during bluray movies. Also Monster cables have a lifetime warrenty.

    M1000hd for 75 bucks

    Then I guess it must be your neighbor's tv or something..... trust me.... exepnsive HDMI won't show a 'night and day' difference like you described. It's all the same signal.

    While the M1000HD is nice looking, it does the job no better than monoprice or firefold cables....

    Plus imagine needing to run 25ft - 50ft of that M1000 HD cable... LOL you'll be paying more than what you paid for your projector.....
    I got free clear tails with my ride.....

    IT not night and Day but the little thing like snow and grass and Debree from buildings is sharper. The cables does matter but it not as big as a different swtich from componet to HDMI. Yes it all the same signal The faster and more data it can Transter the better the picture quailty will be. That all. Firefold is good site that is what my dad use at his office to connect His computer to the 26 samsing at his work. I am not dog on firefold. here lol.
