If Tesco can sell this cable for RM10, I think the cost of producing this cable will be about RM3 or less.

After taking away sales agent commission, middle man, manufacturer & tesco profit, logistics, packaging & etc it should be about that price.

So, you can judge what kind of quality can a RM3.00 (USD0.90) HDMI with 3m length can do to your Home theater experience.

If it does not damage your HDMI connector on your devices, you should be very happy already.

Bought the RM10 cable from there
Tested and everything is OK compared to my previous cable.

Have you bought cables from monoprice before. Cause seemingly everyone is talking bout their cable sales.

I plan to get a HDMI cable. You think worth buying one?

free/cheap hdmi cables work great...don't need overpriced monster hdmi cables with all sorts of gimmicks and high markups for even online dealers

what these sellers have in abundance is the ability to spread FUD - Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt so that you will part with ur hard earned money for overpriced digital cables

you can't tell from the cables itself whether they are speed certified or not

but monoprice stated in their website that some of their hdmi cable are Certified to Category 2

If Monstard Cable can sell a hdmi cable same model n length but price varies from $100-1000, I think the cost of producing this cable will be about $2 or less.

After taking away sales agent commision, cheap labour in china, tons of advertisement, middle man, high commision forum/ebay seller that spam forum for sale, etc it should be about that.

So, you can judge what kind of money you want to spend if $10 cable from tesco work as well as Monstard Cable for your pocket experience.

If it does not make you poorer, it will make you looks stupid if you cant differentiate your cable when your fren challenge you for a blind fold test. You should feel regret already.

I wonder why most of my customers after purchasing the cables and left testimonial on my thread, saying that it's an awesome cable and it makes a difference and appreciate me that I brought in these cables at an affordable price?

Hmm...I wonder why? I'm talking about hundreds of customers here, not 1 or 2.

If you think a RM10 cable works fo you, then good for you.

Maybe you've never own a good quality cable before. I can't blame you for making that judgement.

Based on your judgement, you are also insulting serious audiophiles who invest in thousands RM in cables. Are they blind too?

Obviously you are not serious in quality and performance. Let's leave this at it is.

Are your customers still think that their previous comments still true and valid as at now after their learned the facts or do at comparison themselve and/or become well informed? laugh.gif

Think physiologically, what normal people will react, if their found out that their paid lot of extra and get a same performance cable? Think, you will know the answer. tongue.gif

Most people wont have guts to admit that he just waste few hundreds of ringgit for a cable that dont give any difference in picture quality compared to RM10 tesco cable.
