After one of our
most recent Ask Engadget HD questions aired, we quickly found that you folks heavily preferred the cost and quality of cables at Monoprice. We can't say that those set in their ways are apt to switch over anytime soon, but Inspiretech is clearly aiming at the same crowd with its sleek, inexpensive new HDMI cables. The company has launched a number of HDMI 1.3 interconnects including a 3-footer for $3.99, a 6-footer for $5.99 and a 6.5-foot HDMI-to-Mini HDMI cable for $12.99. Sure beats some of those
other companies quite handily.

Hmm, if these had free shipping, they'd be similar in price to the monoprice cables, but you'd have someone to complain to if they died. Doesn't seem like too bad a deal.

Ditto sn1per said. Monoprice still has them beat by a lot.

Monoprice.com FTW baby. Enough said.

Did anyone actually follow the read link?
That press release is a joke. They're saving money by hiring employees and spokespersons that lack high school educations. I couldn't make heads or tails of anything being said.
Ray Ibanez even incorrectly spelled his company's name. This alone makes me question every other aspect of the business.
(And, of course, monoprice ftw.)

Cheap cabling is always nice. I just bought a bunch of Monoprice cabling to nicely do my HTPC/HDTV setup and I paid $40 for 100' of network cable, two 6' HDMI, one 6' coax and one 6' optical audio. Best part, they seem to have sent me a MUCH nicer optical audio cable than I initially ordered.

Monoprice does have great prices...but these are still a lot cheaper then over priced Monster crap!
majalo, ever heard of a typo? It happens!
