Question about hdmi and optical audio cables - Blu-ray Forum

tlimof · 08-21-2009, 12:57 PM

I'm getting a new remote from Amazon and they're offering this hdmi cable for about 6 cents, it's an Abacus 24/7 HDMI (2 meter) 6 foot cable HQ 1080P 1.3b.

And this optical audio Fiber Optical Toslink Digital Audio Optic Interface 6 Foot Cable for 1 cent.

I'm getting both just for the price but are they any better than the ones I got in Walmart (RCA I think?)

You should be fine with them. For .07, why not try them. If they don't work out for you, then tossing them won't be a big deal.

They're not .07 or .01 cents once you add them to your cart and ready to pay the S&H is almost 15 bucks, I added 4 of each, and it was like 30 bucks!!!!
