I went to Best Buy looking for a DVI <-> HDMI cable once. They wanted 40 dollars. I got it on Amazon for 7.95. And they wonder why their stock recently took a big hit...
- Encosia 16y agoI hate to get too far off topic, but when it comes to cables, you should know about Monoprice: http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10231 http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=102...
- jackowayed 16y agoI second this. Monoprice is great. Their cables are dirt cheap yet at least as high quality as what you'll get anywhere else. They're also great for adapters. I bet 10% of the people reading this have paid Apple $30 for a Mini DisplayPort to {VGA|DVI|HDMI} adapter. I got all 3 for $30-something.
- stoney 16y agoYeah, there's a limit to how much of a premium I'm prepared to pay for the benefit of bricks and mortar! Though cables can vary a bit in price depending on quality, so that might have come into it a bit too.
- sliverstorm 16y agoOh yeah, because you totally need gold-plated connectors on your DIGITAL Video Interface cable to maintain picture quality (for those who are unaware: basically the entire purpose of digital communications is to confer immunity to signal noise and distortion)
- brc 16y agoYeah I had to pay this much just recently. I was annoyed as I knew the same item would be avaialble for roughly $10. But I needed it that day - not an option to wait a couple of days for delivery when you have no display.
