I knew some guys that worked at Best Buy. The markup on cables is typically around 100% regardless of brand. So the stores make the same % profit for any brand. Its just when they sell the overpriced Monster cable thats even more cash.
Also the markup on the TV's themselves is fairly low. Thats why they push the warranties and overpriced cables so hard.
