[MrOogieBoogie]

No thanks. Best Buy sells them for $75, meaning they must be of way better quality.

Gold-plated and shit. Outputs in 144hz too.

 

[Septimus Prime]

Shipping doubles the price.

 

[SmokeMaxX]

Yeah but does it have anti-virus protection?

[Digby]

They used to be $100 10 years ago.

I think monoprice is also releasing a 34" 21:9 75hz monitor for $499. Which I'd waited... I spent 800 on my AOC that's only 60hz.

 

[pete_clarf]

Thanks. These will be awesome for my Man Cave.

 

[Mystic654]

They look to be HDMI 1.4, if they were HDMI 2.0 that supports 4K60 4:4:4 600MHz, then maybe.

 

[EXPotemkin]

Can always use spare HDMI cables. Bought.

I hope that's sarcasm, HDMI cables don't have versions.

[Reszo]

ohh i forgot all about monoprice didnt get the hdmis but did buy like 5 usb mini cables for my ps4 controller and android for 78 cents each

 

[dallow_bg]

I thought 2.0 doesn't require new cables and the Category 2 cables are good to go.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

http://denon.custhelp.com/app/answe...en-hdmi-versions-1.1,-1.2,-1.3a,-1.4-and-2.0?

Pretty sure it's the hardware that's changed, not the cable.

I could be wrong.

You aren't. See my post above.

 

[FriedConsole]

4 years ago I was always hunting for one. Now they have multiplied and I have a box of them.

MONSTER HDMI IZ DA BEST!

 

[Crv756]

link?

Edit: Got it, never mind.

 

[16BitNova]

How is this a good price? I thought some RocketFish and Monster HDMIs even sell for less than that.

 

[Skelter]

Can I play games at 4K@60FPS with these?

 

[Wowfunhappy]

Can I play games at 4K@60FPS with these?

No. You need HDMI 2.0 for that. As in both the cables and the ports themselves.

Can't do 1080p 60 fps 3D either.

 

[Skelter]

No. You need HDMI 2.0 for that. As in both the cables and the device themselves.

Oh well, useless to me then.

 

[Akronis]

yea dude NVIDIA packed in two Titan X's in these cables. don't tell anybody though, it's a secret.

if everyone knew, they'd be more expensive

 

[Hubb]

NM

The sarcasm in this thread isn't helping anyone.

 

[Mystic654]

I thought 2.0 doesn't require new cables and the Category 2 cables are good to go.

They don't unless you want to new features that were added to 2.0. you will not get the better color or framerate without new cables.

my DVR and new 4kTV are constantly fighting when I use 1.4 cables(Which are from Monoprice). Audio constantly drops out due to HDCP 2.2.

I know of only two HDMI 2.0 cables that will support all HDMI 2.0 an 2.0a features. That's the overpriced monster cables and equally expensive Fusion4k cables. They other HDMI 2.0 cables that are listed on amazon are not stable enough for 60 frame feature.

Only reason reason to buy monster is for Free Upgrade policy they use, When the next HDMI protocols are released monster will replace your current monster cables with new monster cables.

I have a 4k Splitter in the middle so I can't use Redmere or active cables.

 

[Aztechnology]

To people who don't know. (Pretty much everyone here does it seems) there's 4 types of HDMI cords currently.

High speed with Ethernet.
High speed without Ethernet.
Standard speed with Ethernet.
Standard speed without Ethernet

There is no 1.4 cable or 2.0 cable. That's referring to the device's capabilities not the cable.

 

[Drkirby]

Can I play games at 4K@60FPS with these?

Maybe. In my experience, short cables are more likely to work at 4k even if they aren't rated that high. But they aren't rated for it, so there is a good chance they won't.

Oh, I thought it was actually the cable. Maybe I didn't need to spend that extra $5 then. Oh well.

 

[davidwhangchoi]

No thanks. Best Buy sells them for $75, meaning they must be of way better quality.

i only buy monster. digital numbers are clearer with it.

 

[hardcastlemccormick]

Five bucks (plus five more for shipping) to not run out of HDMI cables? Sold.

Just need to make sure bandwidth is 18Gbps. Allot of monoprice cables only transfer at 10.2Gbps.

 

[Ashhong]

3$ with shipping..I just bought one from Amazon for 5$ too. Probably not worth the hassle of returning and reconnecting the cable. Oh well

 

[hardcastlemccormick]

Just need to make sure bandwidth is 18Gbps. Allot of monoprice cables only transfer at 10.2Gbps.

The HDMI.org link that was posted a moment ago said that old cables with a data rate of 10.2Gbps will be upgraded to 18Gbps when used with HDMI 2.0:

Can existing HDMI cables support the higher bandwidths of HDMI 2.0 Specification?
Yes, existing High Speed HDMI Cables (wire only) will support the new higher bandwidths (up to 18Gbps).

HDMI 2.0 specification defined a new, more efficient signaling method, for speeds above 1.4b limits (10.2Gbps), to allow higher bandwidths (up to 18Gbps) over existing High Speed HDMI Wire Cables.

http://www.hdmi.org/manufacturer/hdmi_2_0/hdmi_2_0_faq.aspx#144

EDIT: And then they go on to say

Does HDMI 2.0 require new cables?
No, HDMI 2.0 features will work with existing HDMI cables. Higher bandwidth features, such as 4K@50/60 (2160p) video formats, will require existing High Speed HDMI cables (Category 2 cables).

I haven't seen my tv do as of yet. Since my DVR and TV are constantly fighting with HDMI cables I currently have.

If you'd like to argue with HDMI's website, be my guest.

Until then, for everyone that cares about these cables and the future of HDMI: they're fine, according to HDMI.org.

 

[FuturusX]

I think we'd all be fools not buy these. It' s clear a MONSTER deal and a BEST BUY.

 

[Aztechnology]

Right. I'm not sure but I believe 18Gbps or above is what the high speed is defined as right? Anyway I recommend the monoprice ultra slim line, they are slightly more expensive but the build quality is great and they are very flexible.

[smurfx]

Thanks OP!



$2 HDMI cables is still a good deal.



Pretty sure old cables are still compatible.

Edit: Yep
http://www.hdmi.org/manufacturer/hdmi_2_0/hdmi_2_0_faq.aspx#144

you can get a 9ft hdmi cable at 99 cent store. i got 2 the other day.

 

[Septimus Prime]

i only buy monster. digital numbers are clearer with it.

Truly, they are the Bose of cables.

 

[riskVSreward]

Thanks op, gonna scoop some up.

Since I'm here, I need a new power cord for my PS3. Can anyone help me identify which type of cable that is?

Quick though, there's only 16 left in stock.

 

[inner-G]

Yeah but does it have anti-virus protection?

Where are you planning to stick it?

 

[Little Nemo]

I seriously just bought four of these from monoprice last week. Oh well, that's only like five bucks, but still...

[SamuelSupreme]

hmmm i will indulge

We bought some of their monitors at work. The idiots reverse the hdmi port so it's basically impossible to squeeze the release button to remove the hdmi cable (because you can't fit your finger between the release and the back of the screen). We had an employee break the port trying to disconnect the cable. What were they thinking?

 

[Spukc]

No thanks. Best Buy sells them for $75, meaning they must be of way better quality.

they are all the same
