You can buy these on eBay for low price  ($7 - $8, shipping included).  The one I got is just fine.

Monoprice sell a 6' cable for $4.79.  I have bought many items from Monoprice, excellent place.  Usually ships next day.

Any idea on on how monoprice compares to Bluejeanscable in terms of quality and performance?

I do have a Bluejean HDMI cable as well and to me, they are both excellent.  I see no difference from a picture perspective between either cable, but have stuck with Monoprice because they are less expensive.

To my understanding when dealing with HDMI cables, theoretically, a difference between various cables shouldn't exist as the signal is digital and the signal either gets from point a to b, or it doesn't. 

One exception, if a person had a long HDMI cable run, they may want a larger gauge cable.

The very expensive cables that are now touting 1080P and deep color are usually no improvement over the "cheap" cables for distances  that are less than 3 meters.

When I first got my HDTV, I cheaped out and bought those under 12$ monocables...hey I didn't want to buy the over-priced Monsters the box stores peddle. THis was for my cable box which had DVI to my TV which has  HDMI, and it was ok, I got a good picture, better than the component connection.
But I found the DVI and HDMI connectors looked and felt kinda cheap, the plating on the metal parts looked skimpy. I found a Belkin Pure AVseries DVI-HDMI for a reasonable price...I heard some say there are no difference with HDMI cables, the 10$ cable will perform the same as the 50-100$, well that's not what I found...
If you are in the US, PM me your address, I will send you the cheap cable and I will even pay the postage.

Mark,

Not sure I agree with some of your statements, but this isn't the right time or place to get into a bigger discussion.

Vman71,

Sorry for the thread hijack...I will stop now.

I have a 35' monoprice cable run to my JVC RS-1.  I feed it with a mixture of 1m and 2m (1m is too short for my ps3 on top of the rack) monoprice cables.  I get NO sparklies (even going through 2 wallplates) even when showing 1080p (60hz or 24hz).

source - 1m or 2m monoprice - receiver - 1m monoprice - wallplate - 35' monoprice - wallplate - 1m monoprice

I have run the projector directly with a 1m monoprice from the ps3 to the projector and could tell no visual difference between it and the full chain above.

I'm not sure what grade mjosef bought from monoprice, but NONE of the cables I've gotten from them have looked cheap.

I do hear a difference with audio rca cables, but I've never seen one with any HDMI cables.

EDIT: To keep this on topic I'd be happy to give the original poster a DVI-HDMI adapter I used in the past for just the cost of shipping.

George,

No problem.  There's usually a good chance that there will be some differing opinions when it comes to cables.
