Will you buy non-branded HDMI cable?, if it is RM20 for 3m and RM50 for 4.5m

QUOTE(mpyw @ Apr 1 2010, 05:01 PM) Tell that to the user of monoprice HDMI cable...they r selling the HDMI cable for as low as USD1.82 for 3ft and USD4.09 for 10ft cable....never heard any complaint of their cable quality.... 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? |

QUOTE(ADJ @ Apr 11 2010, 11:33 AM) i'd rather risk my RM10 than 3-4 digits of my hard earned RM...try the Tesco ones first...at least if it really doesn't meet your expectations, you didn't lose so much...and you can still go get your fancy raksaksa cables Sorry to barge in, but i think you're right. In fact i was using Monster cable all this while for my LCD , LCD PC Mon, but now i've switched to a RM15 1.3b cable which makes no difference with Monster.Now the Monster are just hooked off, and don't know what to do with them, one cable just made my pocket dry! |

QUOTE(anfieldude @ Apr 11 2010, 12:17 PM) A good test to see if ur cable will withstand the 1.3b bandwidth is by using a WDTV Live player, hooking ur HDMI cable direct to a display (hopefully one that supports 12bit), then on the WDTV Live setup select 1080p/23.976 (or 60Hz), YCbCr and 12 bit colour. If u get sparklies, or dropouts when using this method, then ur cable does not support 1.3b. If it works, then the cable is good enuf for current standards. This is a good test to check ur cables. Great tips. But does it work the same on the PC? YCbCr 4:4:4 and 12 bit at full HD that is sent by the player more or less maximizes the bandwidth at the cable. I set my refresh rate to 59hz , YCbCr 32bit color. You think i can try the setting you suggested? |

QUOTE(anfieldude @ Apr 11 2010, 02:02 PM) 36 bit is slightly higher bandwidth. Also u need to ensure that the source sends out a full hd signal. One good example is for the WDTV Live setup pages. 32bit bro. Source sending out full hd signal. Im using Dynamic contrast enhancement. Gamma set to default.Using YCbCr444 . 60hz 32bit. Refreshed and it looks fantastic. Thanks for the tips.. |

QUOTE(DigitalTech @ Apr 13 2010, 02:39 PM) You are promoting fake Monster cable by inserting this picture with that URL. Excuse me bro, im not promoting fake cable. Im just showing the picture only. You can buy fake M1000HD/M2000HD for $10-$20 from that website. So buying fake Monster cable is the same quality as RM10 tesco brand, but with good looks. If you got any problem, post your own pic here.. |

QUOTE(DigitalTech @ Apr 13 2010, 04:50 PM) Bro, im sorry, if that has spoiled your genuine sale.This is my actual cable that im using .. ![]() Someone bought it for me for a whopping price sometime ago. Im not sure if the cable in the pic is fake. But if you check in Mudah or elsewhere , there's people sellling it. Even in LYN. How do we know identify fake and genuine Monster cable. Where do you get your items from? I mean , im just asking , not questioning your sale. If it does, im sorry if it was straight to point.. |

QUOTE(DigitalTech @ Apr 13 2010, 06:46 PM) No. The cables I'm selling I imported directly from US. I heard bout that Monster1000HD, but the one i have is the one in the picture earlier.[ 2nd one black]If I get it from Hwee Seng, the price will be similar to Harvey Norman or SenQ (overpriced). However, if you buy from Hwee Seng authorised dealers, you will get warranty from them. Added on April 13, 2010, 6:54 pm In US, there's are some factory closeout and liquidation stocks. The wholesaler buys those stock in huge bulks in massive discounted price. Most of it are older models, but some are still selling in the market. So, I happen to know this US wholesalers and import them in bulk. If you know where to buy, you can get a good deal. Seriously, please avoid buying Monster 1000HD, M1000HD and M2000HD HDMI cables selling below RM200.00. If you want to buy, you can get it for $10-$20 from China websites. These are high grade copies cable. Your price is reasonable, i was told by a forumer before that he bought a cable from you for a good price. All the best.. |

You have bad experience with Monster cable before this?Any of your friends or fellow forumers informed you that Monster is hopeless? Belum cuba belum tau bro.. hehehe I think they work the same and only difference is PRICE. |

QUOTE(mcat84 @ Apr 14 2010, 12:18 AM) aiyah......if buy tv RM10,000 then can buy cable for RM3xx.......if buy tv RM1999...use chapalang cable.... Check the prices for a regular HDMI cables below.Carrefour got one time selling 5m HDMI cable for RM5.00 (yes is 5 meter, i think they label the wrong price 'coz 3m is around RM30+) .....a group of us go to sapu all the cables.....(almost 20 pieces).... Regular Cables Regular Cables 2 QUOTE don't get hung about other cables that offer a lifetime guarantee, protecting you in case your cables are technologically obsolete in the future. If in a few years there are consumer video products that output higher-than-1080p video signals (an admittedly unlikely scenario), you can always buy another cheap $10 cable online that can handle more data. And you've still saved yourself $30 over that $50 cable in the store. Above is a comment from a web article. I do agree, Monster though has warranty, we do not know the lifetime of it. Even to a regular HDMI has no lifetime guarantee. I agree with the lot, that affordable HDMI cable can do wonders too.. |
