Re: Where Is The Best Place To Buy HDMI Cable

Recently got 4 6' HDMI cables from NewEgg for $50. They work great.

Newegg is expensive and wrong place for buying any cable specially HDMI one. monoprice.com you can buy these for close to $20.

Re: Where Is The Best Place To Buy HDMI Cable

I've been using newegg.com for a while and I agree with CDan. Newegg serves good products that work just as well as any other vendors products. When I looked at monoprice.com vs newegg.com for 4-5 cables, before shipping monoprice.com came out to be pricier than newegg, and I'm pretty sure a few dollar difference doesn't really matter between HDMI. I've order a few HDMI cables from newegg.com and they all work perfectly fine. So why pay more.
