Are these hdmi 1.4 (3D compliant)?

If you have Amazon Prime, then it's better to buy the AmazonBasics 2 Pack. If you don't, then this is better.

It's still a decent price on HDMI cables.

They're good because they're XTREME!!!

I like the Xtreme cables because they tend to be a little more flexible and better for getting around corners. Especially the hole in the back of my tv stand.

...or find something else you need on WOOT! and get free shipping on these! That was what I was just hunting for.

If you have a HD-TV but don't even have A very basic set of cables like this then the difference will be night and day.

I bought new TV and got some cheap HDMI cables like this off woot and my dad was wondering why every TV but his looked so nice.

Also, Don't Believe the hype. Brands like Monster are all hype and overpriced garbage. Save yourself 90 dollars and buy a two pack from woot instead.

Not a bad deal, but if you don't need 3D compliant ones, you can find them for around $0.99 apiece on Amazon and other places.

I bought 10 HDMI cables a while back for $1/each, and they were 10' in length. I've got enough HDMI cables for me and my friends to last until the next type of cable is released. And the cables were of pretty good quality and have performed well for me. Cables are a big money maker with "extreme" profit margins. If I paid $11 for 2 6' cables, I'd feel a little foolish. And there is plenty of information out there on the internet regarding differences between HDMI cables, and the consensus is that there is almost zero difference between cables that are manufactured to minimal specs and quality. And even the cheapest made 6' HDMI cable will transmit every bit of data from the most demanding source including 3D. If I were making longer runs through walls, then quality becomes more of an issue.

These cables do look more flexible and less stiff than the typical HDMI cable, so if that is important to you, go for it.

6 footer is going to cost 2 or 3 bucks most places, even monoprice or mycablemart.
Solid deal, especially if you've got a free shipping coupon laying around somewhere. These would have been great in the wootoff.

Any new piece of kit is going to need an hdmi cable, tv's roku boxes, pc to big screen match-ups. 6 foots a good length to, if you buy something that needs and HDMI, they'll either not give it to you, or give you a little two footer, hoping you'll be stupid and buy the horrendously marked up one at the store, so they can make up their margins. (tl/dr- worth grabbing, eventually you'll look like a magician when you need one and it's on hand)

Here's an example of a better price:

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'll get 2 packs, cheaper than anywhere else and I can dole them out as needed without people asking me to drive somewhere to get some. Also serves as a proof of point that you don't need $100 dollar HDMI cables.

I'll keep my 10 foot green one from Monoprice in my laptop bag though, its green~

Getting a few of these to keep in my suitcase, occasionally the hotel room TVs have HDMI inputs, so this way I can (ab)use their TV with my tablet.

this is great. my $5 coupon is about to expire in a few days and who doesnt need a couple extra hdmi cables.

for what its worth... i have used plenty of el cheapo hdmi cables, and plenty of $30 from wal mart and best buy... they all produce the same picture in my eyes.<-- literally.

This is the correct way to buy HDMI, but I assume everyone here already knows that. Not for $30 in line at Wal-Mart. For two-pack that costs you $10 or less.

Ok, what's up with the '...' names?
ThunderThighs, worldwidewebfeet, and now ChronoSquall14.

Y'all don't get real names anymore? Collusion to cause confusion? Masquerading as wooter #1 (retired)?
It will say 'Staff' if you are. Some of us actually read, you know.

Sorry for the threadjack.

I used your link, did a comparison with shipping and you only save $1 at those other guys, so why not use that buck to support Woot? Although, just out of principle, I'd buy from anyone other than woot on a comparable deal if they let you pay with paypal.

Any HDMI cable would be compatible with a Mac. The only thing is you will have to buy an adapter like moshi's mini displayport to HDMI :

I totally agree with the "go cheap" group here. Unless you've got really super high-end equipment or are an uber audiophile then there is no need to buy anything more than these. Plus, as others have said, they seem more flexible, which is just icing on the cake

There's been plenty of 99 cent hdmi cable deals here and there, the ones I bought were definitely 6ft, so unless you really need HDMI cables that support 3D, I would skip.

Fairly new to Woot. If I want the refurbished Roku player (from sellout Woot) and the cables is there any way I can combine the orders and only pay once for shipping? I tried adding both to a cart but it doesn't appear that the carts cross the different Woot sites.

EDIT: Nevermind. Apparently if you just order 2 things the wizard behind the curtain knows you made two orders and you don't get charged a second time for shipping.

After you make your order and pay the $5 in one of the woot sites you will "unlock" free shipping for the rest of the day until midnight CST for all the sites.

Just bought a 2 pack from Sam's for 29.99. They are 10.2 GB and come in 6 foot and 8 foot lengths with a 90 degree connector. They are flat ribbon cables which are nice for wall mounted TV's.

I will probably buy these as well as they are a really good price and will need a few to connect the Receiver with AV components to see if 3D will play through it. Also when getting a 3-d Blu Ray, I will need a couple more as well.

I gave away my monkeys.....
