    Anyone thinking of picking up a good quality 2 foot length HDMI cable make sure you check this one out
    It comes with a 5 year warranty too

    That is way too dear OP! You can pick them up in Harvey Norman for only €89, a fraction of the price in your link. No point in going for cheap cables (anything under €70)on a 1k Tv!

    You can get 2 years fully covered with that cable too for an additional 80e.
    Also you have the option of financing it over 36months.
    I think I bought my HDMI on ebay for 2e. Wasn't I the fool.

    Am I missing something here? The cable of that length that you get in the €2 shop will cost only 99c and will do the job perfectly.

    All HDMI Cables are the same, there's no such thing as a better quality cable because it's gold plated or some BS. €5 cable will put 1080p on your tv, €85 cable will still only put 1080p on your tv!

    You can get a HDMI cable from and €2 shop.

    I had a Monster brand HDMI cable that decided to stop working, so far the €2 cable has lasted longer.

    I might get one. They must make the picture really beautiful for that price.

    Thanks OP.

    I've Invisible hand installed on Firefox, it's 24 cent cheaper on Amazon.com now that's a bargain.;)

    This is not even funny and some gullible person could get one. Once again all HDMI leads no matter what price do the same job.

    Ha 3 feet, I have two 15 feet cables running to my projector!

    But again to stress a cheap cable is as good as an expensive one! I spent over €100 on a QED cable and the €2 shop ones do the exact same job!

    I'm going to convince my dear old dad to get one of these. He doesn't even have HD channels. In fact he doesn't even have a TV.

    The first post was a joke, but I'm not sure about this one.

    If you are being serious, then god help you.
