    Monoprice has a great sale right now (even better than their already rock bottom prices) on Blue 6' HDMI cables. Only $1.96 each.

    These cables are excellent quality, I have a few connecting my PS3 and receiver to my HDTV. The connections are very tight, the picture quality is excellent, the build quality of the cables rivals, if not beats, monster cable all for a very low price.

    Monoprice in general has excellent quality products at bargain prices. I bought a lot of cables from them including component cables for my Wii and PS2, USB cables and a multi-TT usb hub. They're the first place I look when I need a particular cable.

    Awesome find!!! :D I don't really have any use for an HDMI cable, but the prices are awesome.

    I purchased the maximum of four. I could prob sell 1 or 2 to cancel out the $14 it'll cost me, and have 2 cables for later :D

    They have em in a bunch of colors, blue is the only one on sale right now.
    Blue is definitely an awesome color. :D

    Monoprice is awesome too. They saved me hundreds over the monster brand.

    Thanks for sharing! I don't mind the color of the cable at all ~ the price far outweighs that! :cool:

    just received the cables, and must say I am completely impressed with the quality that they give.

    At first sight, I think VGA cable, but don't let its appearances fool you.

    The cables get the job done.

    Yeah the sale usually only lasts for a few days.
    Keep watchin though, other colors go on sale too. Orange was a while back. Even though I don't need them if green went on sale I'd probably get a few.

    This is the HDMI cable I use.
    Anything above a dollar is a rip-off. :p

    Definitely a good deal but I prefer monoprice because of the customer service. They took a return recently with no questions asked and the refund was processed quickly.

    I must say that I'm surprised with the physical build quality of the blue HDMI cables :D. I also bought some black ones from Meritline, and they were disappointing in size. The job gets done with either product, so I'm happy.

    Blue > Black.

    You should see the ones they sell with the mesh jacket for $8. Talk about military grade...

    Those are the ones I returned. They were great but a bit heavy and stiff. I was afraid the stress wouldn't be good for the HDMI ports on my components. The blue ones (or other colors in the series) are excellent.

    Even at $3.55 (or $3.33 if you buy 2) they're a great deal.
