HDMI is HDMI
It will only be different if your camera has a mini HDMI port.
The PS3 and your TV will have standard Type A or Type B (19pin) HDMI ports.
A HDMI type C connector is the mini HDMI.

Here is a standard A or B connector on the left next to a HDMI C mini connector on the right


for the PS3 your will need a A to A cable or a B to B cable. For your camera (if it has a mini port) you will need a A or B to C cable.

But anyhow those $2.00USD HDMI cables on amazon do the same thing as the $900 ones from radioshack...HDMI is a standard across the board...

very true, dont buy expensive cables - unless the extra cheap cable really is crap and showing badly with drop frames and lil digital "sparkles" on the screen.

So true. Gotta love their prices. I was always looking to get the smaller firewire (4pin?) cable to larger one (6pin?) and its <2usd.
I wish they had a twitter page.


another one u can check is mygearstore.com.
for all your apple needs. When they have a sale... they mean sale.

I cringe at the Monster brand and their prices...

Audioquest it a good way to go as well...

[X_Factor]

"Suggested retail price is $8,800 for a 2 meter pair, and $4,000 for each consecutive meter."


nagivate the site and u'd see!!

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

^ is it really worth it you think?

its damn sexy though!!!

Obtaining this unobtainium for audio use in an inspired fluke of providence and craftiness was one thing. Subsequently fashioning the ultra-thin alloy conductor into a reliable manufacturable commercial product meant more than a year's worth of research, beta-testing, gnarly assembly protocol and the development of a proprietary minimum-mass Carbon/Teflon/silver connector. What I currently have in my system is one of the first Indras with Serguei's new Stealth connectors that sport a thin-wall hollow silver pin with Teflon insert and a Carbon/Titanium body/barrel.



Being customarily wired with HMS Gran Finale, Crystal Cable Reference or Analysis Plus Solo Oval in the signal chain; and HMS, Crystal and ZCable Reference in the power delivery field of the BPT BP-3.5 Sig and Walker Audio Velocitor; I consider my system reasonably up to snuff in the cable arena.

[X_Factor]

well, i believe its more percieved

but who knows...i doubt i'll ever find out tho..


i've read online independant tests where they blindfolded 5ppl
said that they using the highend cable and to score the music

then said they using a really cheap cable and hav them score it

the one with the low end cable had lower scores

however, the cable was never changed!!

On the subject of high end cables - your system has to be pretty good to determine if the cables match it or not - kind of like speaker /amp combos

Are there specific recommended HDMI cables for 240Hz televisions as opposed to 120Hz?

I've seen the monster brand market some 240Hz on the boxes but no idea if its a marketing gimmick or something that would be substantially noticed with a 240Hz tv?

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

^ once you buy HDMI 1.3B highspeed cables you have nothing to worry about -

newer plasma TV run at 600Hz and the same HDMI 1.3 highspeed cables work

^ thanks - as i thought...
