jeff.lebowski Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I've found a few options at monoprice, but the price reminds me of buying $1/foot cat5 from Staples back in 2005. Does anyone have a good retailer for slim and flexible HDMI cables? Quote Link to comment
garycase Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Monoprice is about as good a price as you'll typically find. The slim HDMI cables are much more electrically complex, which is why they tend to be more expensive. They generally use a "RedMere" semiconductor at each end of the cable, which allows the connecting cables themselves to be much smaller -- thus allowing the very thin and flexible interconnecting cables.

StevenD Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I dont think $10 for a 6' Redmere cable is expensive at all! Quote Link to comment
CrashnBrn Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Monoprice is about as good a price as you'll typically find. I have not found a place that has cables for as good of a price. Monoprice is the way to go. Quote Link to comment
mrow Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I wish Monoprice had some sort of Amazon Prime type membership that made shipping free if you were a member. Monoprice's prices are great but I think they go a little overboard on shipping costs. It does not cost $3.50 to ship a less than 1 ounce TPU iPhone case. I've found when you work in the shipping costs from Monoprice, and if you have a Amazon Prime account, cables you can find on Amazon are almost if not the same price as Monoprice and you'll get the cables in two days from Amazon.

I would join in a heartbeat! That being said, Ive been able to find a lot of what Monoprice sells on Amazon, with Prime shipping. http://www.amazon.com/b/ref=sr_1_1_acs_h_1i_2529935011&node=2529935011?ie=UTF8&qid=1378397711&sr=8-1-acs Quote Link to comment
garycase Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 While Monoprice's shipping can be a bit much for a single item, if you are ordering several items it's not at all bad. I tend to group my orders with them ... I can always find a few things to "stock up" on Quote Link to comment
cj0r Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 After I check monoprice, I always compare with meritline and then finally eBay. I've had very good luck this way. Quote Link to comment

Totally agree... I always find myself looking at Monoprice first to see what I want, then go find the same or similar at Amazon because of Prime shipping. Quote Link to comment
BRiT Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Monoprice has the best total overall price on 18Gbps HDMI 2.0 . Those new slim cables with Redmere are really nice. Quote Link to comment
