HDMI Cable for my 622

[sfollenius]

Okay I have been searching for an answer but I cant seem to find it. I know the best place to get the cable is monoprice.com. I am not sure which one I need (male to male) or (HDMI to HDMI) whats the difference?

You need a Male to Male cable, and I have found the best place for HDMI cables to be Ebay.

Monoprice is THE place. I paid the lowest price shipping (less than 3 bucks), was sent from CA on a Wed, got it the following Friday in Indianapolis. Total for a 6' was $8.10.

1 more vote for www.monoprice.com. You can't go wrong. Great product and great price.

I laughed at the guy at Circuit City when he wanted to sell me a $120 HDMI cable. "But it has the best quality picture." Umm... dude. It's digital. It works or it doesn't work. If the picture starts breaking up I'll return it.

Almost as bad as the gold plated fiber optic dolby digital cable someone tried to sell me? Don't get me started on that one.

The gold surrounding the fiber core keeps the photons focused and reduces stray light errors!



Oh and yes, Monoprice is THE place!

The OP said he already knew Monoprice is the place to go...

Anyway, HDMI to HDMI is the same as Male to Male. It's just a different description.

See ya

Another ringing endorsement for Monoprice here. Quality and price make them a clear winner in my home!

With the vip 622 flakey hdmi connector, I would get the lightest most flexable cable you can find, set it up once and never move it. Don't get too short of a cable because if you have to move and twist the vip 622 to get access to back panel, the cable sideways torque on the hdmi connector may cause it to break and stop working.

Yeah, I got the wool pulled over on me when I first got a DD5.1 setup. All that Monster Cable crap at Circuit City.

Luckily, I have learned some since then

Thanks for everything all, I ended up ordering the 6 foot cable from monoprice for $8.10 with shipping.

I looped my HDMI cable and anchored it to the back of my 622 to keep ALL pressure and stress off the surface mounted jack.

If you use the heavier gauge cables (for longer runs), monoprice also sells these handy port savers which also extend your cable by 8" (x2 if you use 2), if your current cable length is cutting it close.

Anyone know anything about eHDMI.com? The look like monoprice.com.

Does anyone actually BUY the $120 HDMI cable? I had a guy try to tell me that the connector on the CABLE will break...the heat from the components will melt the glue and cause the connector on the cable to jam in the recepticle on the component if I EVER try to take it out! Crazy markup!

Just to put a different spin on things. I have a split from my OTA going directly into TV. Instead of HDMI, I used component. TV direct compared to 622, ZERO difference.
