hdmi cable

Question

Wondering what cable you use...monster, sony, belkin for your lcd tv. Just purchased a 46" sony. Those top of the line monsters are spendy. I need 3, but can't buy them all at once. I started with one. Saw at target they carry sony cables less spendy, but wondering if they are of the same quality?

ditto on the monoprice recommendation. well worth a visit. if you are spending more than $30 for any cable, you're getting ripped (monster and belkin are a notorious outfits, supported by BBuy and others. Like McDonalds and soda, they make their profits on the back-end via cables, mounts, ink, memory, etc...)

you don't need to speed $100 on a cable.

Yep....monoprice is the place to go for any and all cables. Great quality cables for MUCH less money. Do not waste your money on the over priced monster cables. You should see what the mark up is on those! shocked

Thanks for the info. Great prices on cables. So these other cables will transfer the information and color just as good as higher priced cables? I have a 120 hz tv and I want to be sure that I won't have blurring, loss of color, or sharpness because the cables can't transfer all the information.

Yes. An HDMI cable is an HDMI cable. It is sending a digital signal and a $200 Monster Cable is not going to transfer a digital signal any better than the $15 Monoprice cable.

The 120hz does not have to do with the signal coming through the cable, that's all in the electronics of your TV.

    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
    • Sketti...  not out of a jar either!
    • Lol yeah I watched that
    • I went ahead and watched some of the MLF coverage.  Wheeler didn’t make the cut but the bigger story was the Poche/Avera fallout.   Kinda funny listening to both sides of the story and putting together the scenario, reading between the lines.
    • Yeah we fished like 6 or 7 lakes down here.
