I bought some of these cheap HDMI cables about a month ago. I bought a brand new PS3 and started having a snowy flickering screen. Turning the PS3 off and on seemed to resolve it. One day I switched the cord to the one Monster Cable I have and haven't seen the problem since. So buyer beware. Then again they are so cheap not likes it is that risky of an endeavor.

And yes, I have used them for 3D and they work great. They are also very flexible. In addition, I bought a 50' HDMI cable from the same place (also works fine for 3D and Ethernet connection, but not flexible) which currently connects my computer to my TV on other side of room. If you're in Las Vegas, they have free local pickup.
Aside from this store there are MANY other sources on the internet for MUCH cheaper HDMI cables as John mentioned above.



I just bought 4 6 foot cables from here. Buying 4 offers the best bang for the buck with shipping. Total shipped cost was $13.87. Thanks for the tip!

These are not with ethernet and not compliant with HDMI 1.4. Therefor they are lower spec.

The best price for cables comparable to these are monoprice's 9303's, which are $7.08 plus shipping each, but also have a fancier zinc head that reduces interference and are CL2 rated for in wall installation.

You guys can whine and cry all day about these cables, but so far they have improved my picture quality and I am very pleased. Haters gonna hate.
