School Me on HDMI Cables Please

[Bishop]

Just got a 32" Vizio and I'm needing HDMI cables to connect my DirecTV box and Xbox 360, But I have no idea what's what when it comes to cables. Can someone just help me out please?

monoprice.com/ thread. Yes they are cheap and yes they are every bit as good as the expensive ones

Get cheap cables. You are sending 1's and 0's across the line, they either get there or they don't, there isn't any noise like an analog signal.

Sharky, I added a link from monoprice because they have several cables and I'm not sure if there's any difference to them, or I just need to find the length I want....

Hdmi okay
All other BS aside just get the cheap ones there are no perceptible differences.
I can pretty much guarantee that at the distance you are from you tv you can't tell the diff between 720 and 1080 much less i vs p.

Cliffs get the length you need for cheap as possible.

So, just to clarify (and thanks Restoman), I don't need to worry about the other specs, just buy the length I want w/ the proper male or female ends?

And this TV is such a HUGE upgrade from what I've been using, using the RCA cables or whatever they are from the Xbox, I doubt I'll notice a difference, but with the cheap prices at monoprice, it's worth buying.

This man speaks the truth

Fo sho. You should be spending less than $10. I don't notice a difference, but some say it helps. As long as I can read shit, i'm good.

Alright, well if length is all I'm concerned with (no homo) then I'll prolly order my cables later tonight. I know I need male to male for the xbox, but can anyone confirm I need male to male for the directv box to the back of the tv?

[Wishno87]

I have heard that it helps if you shop in the computer section rather than the tv section. Massive price difference for the same cord.

Mmmmm alright I'll poke around, thx

I recently got a super cheap long one (under 10 bucks) at Harbor Freight.

Except for really long distances (over 15 ft.), there won't be a noticeable difference in the picture. Go with whatever is cheap.

I ordered two of these after a suggestion from a local friend / car enthusiast.
