Great HDMI cable

When you buy a new monitor which I am sure we all have, do you go out and spend $80 or more for a new DVI cable that has a box picture of flying through space attacking aliens? (I’m sure DaveMMR does) or do you just use the one in the box that comes with the monitor. You :censored: use the one in the box! Why? Because as long as your text comes in sharp there is no problem to begin with.

Just a note. You might not want to bypass the filter like that. It's not really necessary. If you want to say ---fudgesicle---, just say ---fudgesicle--- without doing anything to try and trick the filter. Let the filter do its job and keep the site somewhat family friendly. The rest of us, who choose to, can turn off the filter and see that you say ---fudgesicle--- and we wouldn't give a flying ---fudgesicle--- about it otherwise.
In any case... I'm impressed you're still able to buy monitors with cables.... HDMI and DVI cables even, packed in. Can't remember the last time I bought a monitor with anything other than the power cable packed in.

I have been working at computer support centers for the last 8 years and I don’t think I have ever seen a boxed monitor come in that did not come packed with VGA/DVI cables.
shmokes:
Yeah, monitors always have cables. And of course no monitor manufacturer is going to pack in a cable that was not high enough quality to work with that monitor. That would be retarded. HDMI cables, on the other hand, are almost without exception not packed in with devices that use them. HDMI cables have to be purchased separately, so you can't trust that they will work with your device the same as you could a pack-in cable. Of course, you can trust it in practice because HDMI cables in general have a reputation for working fine regardless of cost. But that still doesn't mean that they will always work either 100% perfectly or not at all on account of being digital.

Wait, huh? The cables I buy come in plain brown box. ;)
And yeah, every piece of electronic I've purchased (TV, PS3, etc.) comes with the worst possible connection. Even many printers can't even bother to throw in a USB cable. That's why the overpricing of said cables is such an issue to begin with.
shateredsoul:
Yeah, I don't use the av cables that came with the xbox 360 or ps3, I bought an hdmi cable for each (thank you monoprice!)
Monoprice is also great for printer cables, If monoprice were a person or a thing.. i'd marry it.
