I have a mess of these already, but it's a really good buy. In for 3.

Why anyone would pay $50+ for an HDMI cable at a brick-and-mortar store is beyond me.

I bought 3 of the Philips bendable head cables off Sellout last week, but damned if I ain't tempted to get these too.

What specification are these? I didn't see any mention of HDMI 1.4b, so I assume they're not.

12' Black HDMI Cables from Monoprice are $5.12 normally or $4.92 each if you buy at least 2.

Last time I bought HDMI cables from here, the first one I opened had faulty wiring straight out of the packaging. Thanks, woot!

Two cables, 12 feet each for under $10. Or you could go to Best Buy and pick up two Monster Cable HDMI cables if you have an extra $63 in your wallet you don't need.

Fair deal - and it bears repeating that a digital signal is a digital signal (for all intents and purposes), so these will work just as well as anything which costs exponentially more.

I am currently looking at two unused HDMI cables. So why in the name of heck am I considering buying six more?

Thanks Woot. You're like a curable disease that I constantly refuse the antidote for. And then roll around in a pile of you to get worse. And this no longer makes any sense. I had a long day; leave me alone. Stop! Fine, now I'm not going to buy you're Jatravartid cables. Oh, who am I kidding, I can't stay mad. Come here...

from the very bottom:

(2) Memorex 32020020304 v1.4 12ft. HDMI Cable

so you're right, not 1.4b, just 1.4

In the box:

At the bottom, under 'in the box' it says v1.4, I'm assuming they mean its HDMI 1.4, but I'm not certain.

I pulled the trigger on 2 of em. This is a good deal and you can never have too many HDMI cables. Besides every one I currently have is 1.3b. These are 1.4. 1.4 is a bigger number so they got to be better! Right? :P

[pro-tip]Be warned, some computer motherboards and sound cards will output audio over HDMI, but it's downmixed stereo.

Check your source before you assume DTS-HDMA over HDMI.

Because you get superior service... As somebody who works in a locally owned "brick and mortar" store, if you buy a cable from us and it doesn't work, we replace it...

And also you get what you pay for, yes even with digital cables... By buying a quality product for more (not saying Monster is quality, because they aren't, Monster sucks...) you get a much more consistent performance for much longer...

That being said, for this price, you can replace them every month and it would still be worth it...

Definitely buy them online! Save yourself some money to buy other things.. like a Woot shirt or something. =P

Definitely a good deal today. I'mma pick up a couple of HDMI cords. And 12'?! That's awesome.

There is no such thing as a 1.4 or 1.4b cable, those designations are for devices. Cables are just standard or high speed and with or without ethernet. Though HDMI 1.3 and up are supposed to require high speed cables, at shorter lengths pretty much any cable will do.

actually manufacturers are no longer allowed to use version numbers since to many consumers didnt know what they meant and got confused.

so YES this is technically 1.4 which shouldnt mean much because majority of consumers wont even use features built in 1.3

I can personally tell you that there is a quality difference in component cables and cheap HDMI cables when on the Xbox 360. The HDMI cable (which I paid $30 for an 8ft section over a year ago) was noticeably better. That's the only thing I've personally tried and noted a difference on, though.

The one thing I will not replace with an HDMI cable is my optical sound cable. It's a must, as Hi Def sound is a priority to me, even more so than Hi Def pictures.

And as for "you get what you pay for" technology increases so fast that most users who care about spending more money won't get any better of a product because it's "in the long run" that cheaper products don't last. So for now, these are just as good as $75 cables and in 3 years when they aren't, technology will have changed and you'll have new cables anyway.

I'm in for a pair, woot! Thanks :-)

So you're mad cause....they didn't send you another cable? Why else would you be so mad as to waste time writing that post? Am I missing something here?

No...Just no...

**Edit**

That is to say, they both work the same in my experience, but I choose HDMI because it doesn't involve five plugs and a super fat wire.
