HDMI Cable Pricing
2009
The HDMI Interface replaced DVI which certainly is a good thing as it offers many advantagesincluding passing audio to your fancy new equipment. Unfortunately it has also followed the same pricing pattern or should we say scheme? The odds are pretty good your local retailer will make more profit by selling you an HDMI cable than they did selling you that brand new equipment.
Now I will say with analog cables they have a few excuses to justify outrageous pricing but with DVI and HDMI there is no logical explanation. Both are digital and they either work or they don’t. How can you tell if they work? If you get an image and don’t see any sparkles it’s as good as it can get. Regardless of how much you spend your image isn’t going to improve in any measurable way as digital is math and it simply doesn’t add up. If you see either of the previous issues than go looking for an HDMI extender or perhaps a fiber optic cable other wise save some money!
