Paid $10 for mine. Works perfectly. There is another thread on this. Digital signals aren't as picky with interference. Go cheap.

OH GOD!! Here we go!!!!

Probably should just direct you to that thread that went through a couple months back about this!
Search for HDMI cables, there is a very lengthy, heated discussion on this very subject!

I agree.

Try the $10 cable, if you are already happy with the result why spend more. Mine cost $10 too and is working fine.

Unless it is totally junk and falling apart, I bet you if you do a blind "Pepsi" challenge, you will not be able to see the difference.

I spent $50 on mine... looks fantastic

I would spend 10$ more on a more reputable brand. Like this XtremeMac XtremeHD HDMI to HDMI cable. Just because it says its for the Apple TV does not mean it wont work with anything else. It will work perfectly with any HDMI port. Its a good price too. I have a 50$ RCA cable that I love, but the PQ is no different than the XtremeMac.

What TV are you hooking this up to? If your hooking it up to a 720p then there is no reason for a Monster. But if you are hooking it up to a 62" 1080p plasma display, then a Monster might be somthing to consider.

Hmmm.... let's see... do I need the regular nail clippers, or the gold-plated nail clippers?

I'll buy the gold-plated nail clippers, because I heard they sure do clip nice!

They might both just be gold-plated nail clippers and one just costs a lot more because of the name.
