in for 1!

don't need it right now, but I'll be buying an LCD tv in the next couple months, so now I'll have a cable!

Couldn't resist at this price. Bought 2!

In for 2.

Don't even need them yet, but at this price, in for two! You never know, maybe I'll get a great deal on a 32" HDTV later today on Woot! Come on Woot! Need a 32" HDTV that will fit into my TV cabinet in the living room.

Oh snap!

finally participated in the wootoff! these two cables should come in handy now that i have a new tv

These are good cables bought one previously.

Alright, I needed one for my WD HD Live, and who knows I might need another.

In for 3

Seems like a decent deal. First time I've purchased cables from anyone other than monoprice so hopefully these are near the same quality.....

VROOM!!!!

The "b" indicates that it has the 19 pin connector that most players and monitors use. The "c" type would be smaller, such as you find on mobile devices.

The 1.3 specification includes signals operating at 340MHz, which will support the 3D monitors coming out now. However, you'd want to make sure and get a CAT-2 cable, which this likely is since it's labled 1080p. You will need a 1.4 cable if your 3D monitor also supports the new ethernet over HDMI.

You shouldn't notice any difference if your monitor is 720p and you switch from a CAT-1 cable to a CAT-2 cable unless your cable is over 5 meters long.

For those of you paying tons of money for "better" cables from best buy or wherever, HDMI is a digital signal. Unless you're getting anywhere near the max spec length of cable, even "crappy" quality cables will work noticeably the same. You def won't notice the diff between copper and gold.

Pulled the trigger for 3.

Maybe your cat-5. You'd better not put them next to each other in the same room.

This is a good deal for those who don't already have a HDTV (like myself) but aspire to have one in every room to replace their older tube-type TVs.

Got my order in for three just under the wire . . er, cable.

Thanks, Woot!

Wii does not have an HDMI port. You'd have to buy an adapter. So what would be the point other than to use a HD connection on the back of your TV for a SD signal.

Where's mah Cables Wooooot ? oh dam its only been 2 days lol great cables have 1 already

Awesome, my cable shipped out.

Now if only the crap I ordered ships out :D .

I bought two and both are dead. I have tried them on multiple tv's with multiple video sources and nothing. Anyone else have this issue?

Nope...Mine works like a champ. I can totally do p0rn from my sofa to the plasma! I mean spreadsheets and powerpoint presentations. That was a typo.

I also bought 2, 1 works and 1 was broken. On the broken one, I can vaguely see an "HDCP" error message on the TV screen.

My wife moved the furniture in our room around again. The 10 foot hdmi cable from the computer to the tv was 6 inches too short.............opened up my TRex 12 hdmi cable and life is good again.
