Sometimes the best things are almost free…

HDMIWhy spend $80-90 on cables for your home system or computer when you can get them for less than $5? Not a brand name? Does it really matter? You’re saving $75 here… you could get another one in case the first one didn’t work. Both cable are made to work and while you might lose some quality with the $5 one, I bet you it will be hardly noticeable.  So think twice before you head out to Best Buy or that electronic store and always price check online before you make that purchase.

Are they all created equal? No, but there’s ample scientific and anecdotal evidence that dirt-cheap generic cables perform just as well as their pricey big-name counterparts (cough *Monster* cough). Don’t get suckered into buying the latter.

Need more proof? This particular cable has a whopping 1,863 user reviews on Amazon, and the average score is 4.5 stars out of 5. ‘Nuff said.
