So Best Buy, being the quality con artists they are, like to sell HDMI cables. For a lot of money. Way TOO much money.
In fact, because of my lack of foresight, this label ended up being inaccurate. Because at Best Buy, there was no "over there." ALL the cables were expensive. I guess I should have seen that coming.
First of all, I need to explain what these do, for anyone who isn't a NERD. HDMI cables are now the new standard cables for high-definition video, both for cable television and Blu-Ray players (as well as hooking up your computer to your TV and all that other jazz). Remember the three-pronged red, white and yellow cables for your DVD player? They're the next step up from that.
Now there are some companies, like Monster, that realize they can make some good cash off of these. It isn't out of the ordinary to find Monster HDMI cables for $100 or more. And the reason this is total horseshit is because, unless you're trying to run a projector 60 feet away from your television that displays formats that aren't even used yet, there is no difference between these and the $5 cables you can find off Amazon.
NOW YOU KNOW
