Finding Cheap HDMI Cables

Ranked #17,181 in Computers & Electronics, #342,703 overall

Where oh Where is my HDMI Cable?

As you may have noticed, many retailers have taken the route of not adding HDMI cables into the purchase of new Digital TVs. This makes perfect sense, as you can't watch tv on your new HD tv without one... Stop the madness now and pick up a cheap HDMI cable instead of paying ridiculous retail prices.

HDMI Cable Buying Guide : Step 1

Will the cable you buy be long enough?

HDMI cables range in size from 6ft. all the way up to giant 330 ft. cables and beyond.

How much do you need?
  1. Measure the distance from your cable box to where you think your TV will be.
  2. Add 3-5 ft.
  3. Remember to check your output. (Most people need a HDMI to DVI connection or an HDMI to HDMI connection. CHECK YOUR EQUIPMENT TO FIND OUT)
The last thing you want to do is plunk down a little less for a 6 ft. cable only to find out that it doesn't reach when it gets home. I would recommend getting at least a 10 ft. cable for most setups, if not 15 ft. This way, if you want to re-arrange your living area, you have a little bit of flexibility.
