Need 20ft HDMI?!?!?!? - Blu-ray Forum

tonyrucc · 08-10-2009, 01:47 PM

Hey... im looking for a 20ft HDMI wire online right now. Whats the difference with the cheap oned and the expensive ones? is there that much of a difference? recommend any brand/site?

The two sites I recommend for HDMI cables are Monoprice.com and bluejeanscable.com - both have good quality cables for reasonable prices. I've used both in my system and never had any problems, but my longest run is probably 12'. For longer runs that start to push the 15-meter limit of the standard, I tend to put a bit more trust in Blue Jeans, but some of that may just be caution on my part (I know plenty of folks have had good results with long Monoprice cables).

I have used Monoprice without fail (including my 25' HDMI cable) I just recommend getting a larger gauge for a longer run.

How expensive????? Maybe $25

I'd get this one if you're running it in a wall.

I got a 40' version of that cable and it works great (except with my receiver, I have to run it directly from my PS3 to my projector, hopefully something I can remedy with a GOOD receiver in the future).

Another vote for monoprice. I have used three of their 25' HDMI cables without any problems. For long runs you should spend the few extra $$ and get their 22 gauge HDMI cables that are HDMI version 1.3a Category 2 certified.

Link: 20 ft. rated for in wall installation

I got a 35' cable + 3 feet (extented) cable from Monoprice. All work great. All my HDMI cable come from there and work perfectly with my Denon 3808Ci and my AE3000 (+Xbox360 and Bluray palyer)

There is no quality difference between one that cost $10 and one that cost $100 dollars....except for the brand making it.
