Kip Powick Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 CBC just did a TV doc on the required cable to use from your DVD to HD LCD TV. Shopping at ; Future Shop – 262.00 Best Buy – 110.00 On line 12.00 includes shipping. All cables tested by the top engineer in CBC. The result…all cables produced the identical picture !! How much did you guys who bought the big HD TVs pay ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boestar Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Canus....NO you dont. Simply a lower resolution. period. I paid 14.99 at Princess auto for genuine Monster cables. I would never pay retail for them...WAY too over priced. I have a rather complex setup in my house with some pretty nice equipment. The interconnect cables are all good quality but not rediculously expensive. I shop around and find bargains. I also tryu to keep signals digital as long as possible in the setup. Some people say analog is better fot transmission but analog requires bigger cables over long runs where a digital signal will not degrade over runs as long as 128 ft or longer. Keep it digital.

Cargo Agent Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I bought 2-6ft HDMI cables and 1-6ft Optical Digital cable from www.monoprice.com for $21 and change shipping included. Not bad IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rattler Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 MarketPlace this morning was airing a program on Orthotics and HDTV Cables. They tested a $240.00 monster cable against one purchased online for $12.00. For the actual technical test they used the CBC tech expert and his set of instruments. They measured the input signal against the output and in both cases, the cables tested out as delivering the same (no degradation at all). So it would appear that cheap is not a bad way to go. The program airs several times today if you want to catch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mo32a Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 MarketPlace this morning was airing a program on Orthotics and HDTV Cables. Ok - now I'm confused. Why do orthotics need HDTV cables? Or is this the new version of the Maxwell Smart shoephone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rattler Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Special 2 for the price of one deal for pilots with a heavy braking foot and a HDTV home system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
