Why You Should Never Pay More Than $10 For HDMI Cables

You've probably guessed that gold-plated cables for your home theater are entirely unnecessary. Still, there must be some small quality difference for all that price, right? Mint.com's blog lays out the answer: No, not at all.

Teaming up with WallStats, Mint lays out the case against the gold-plated, gas-pressurized, terribly overpriced cables you'll find lining the shelves at electronics retailers. Monster is a main culprit of preying on those who haven't learned what Mint's very clever infographic illustrates: there is no difference that you can see with your eyes between at $6 HDMI cable and a $250 HDMI cable.

I thought everybody already knew this. If you didnt then you deserve to get ripped off. Do some research before you plonk down that kinda money on something.

i got 2 hdmi cables unbranded from lamington road. 3 Meters each for 300 bucks each. Thats $6.67.

 

And the vijay sales store in thane quoted 2899 for a 1m "gold-plated" hdmi cable :good:

Same for optical, as well as for audio equipment. There was a 1 Million $ prize offered to one of these 'premium' cable manufacturers if listeners could tell the 'premium' cables from cheap cables. The company accepted at first, then refused to go through with the test. These were for $7250 (for only 12 feet!) cables vs. ordinary cables.

 

Cables are mostly rip-off stuff.
