I searched the product ID - 3992 and got this...

Which one is better, the one I got or the one I ordered.

I think the one you ordered is better because it's 24 gauge wire and the other is 28 gauge wire (thinner, less strands).

The one they shipped is cheaper too.

No worries I called them and they said keep the one you have and they will send the other one i ordered.

I figured they would say that considering the cable cost $4 and shipping cost $3.

Monoprice is amaaaaaaazing.

After I received my order, I immediately started dropping their name all over the studio where I work.

My Art director WAS famous for buying expensinve cables and then *****ing about it and then I told him about Monoprice. Whe he got his shipment he was so impressed with them AND my referral he called my agency and got me paid holidays AND a freaking 401k 4 months early!!!!

Dude...bottome line...Monoprice.com just makes peoples lives better.

i got the 3992 cable. should i have gotten the thicker guage cable?

[ryoohki]

at 6 feet it doesn't matter... it's only really matter in extreme high lenght like 20+ Feet. But you should email them to get a refund since the cable you got is cheaper..

One quick question. You ordered the really thick one with the netting and received one that was smaller in gauge and without the netting. The reason I asked is I ordered the ones with the netting and didn't realize that they are not really flexable at all (ones with netting). They are heavy and great but they put stress on the HDMI connector and are hard to bend at the ends.

I ended up purchasing a few more multicolored cables and they are a lot easier for bending and don't put so much stress on my connections. I use the "beast" ones as backup. When you receive the heavier ones and hook them up you'll see what I'm talking about and will be glad they sent you the wrong one.

I still love Monoprice and the multicolored ones simplified all the different connections I have between the receiver/PS3/standalone BD player and TV.

yeah dude when i got my blu-ray player, the guy was trying to sell us a $100 dollar hdmi cable, but we stuck with the $60 one. but then i went onto monoprice and found a hdmi cable like the $100 monster one for under 10 bucks. I love monoprice. dont ever buy monster. theyre just trying to rip you off.

glad they were able to work with you, simple mistake on their part.

...as mdabb said, you will definitely notice the stiffness of the thicker cable.

I tend to only use them at 10' or longer, just because its not very flexible...and the 28awg works just as good under that length.
