I think monoprice's warehouse is in Rancho Cucamonga, so the shipping is pretty quick.

Wait, if you have an HDMI cable, why would you want a new one? The one you have should be fine unless there is something faulty with it.

Well, been a few years and maybe there was a faster cable now? I dunno.

Nope. Remember, HDMI is digital. It either passes the signal or it does not. If you plug it in and it works (which it should) then you are good to go. A newer/fancier/ more expensive cable won't do squat beyond what you already have.

True to a point. It is possible to increase the speed of a digital protocol such that it exceeds the capabilities of earlier cables (witness the existence of cat-7).

But in the case of HDMI, no, the data rates have yet to exceed the cabling specs.

Okey doke, I defer to those who know more about this than I do. Just swap out TVs and all should be well.

The hard part is trying to decide which CinemaScope or VistaVision to test out the new tv as we calibrate.

I needed a new HDMI cable when I reconfigured our living room. Ordered and received it the same day from Monoprice.com.

I want to know if I would look as turkey neck as Annette Benning in HD.

Ih please don't - there has to be something nearby that has them for MUCH less than Worst Buy.

Also, if you order tonight from Monoprice, the chances are pretty good you will have the cable by Saturday.



ETA: if you already have an HDMI cable, don't bother with a new one

Well, the thing arrived last night. I'm setting it all up this afternoon when I get home from work. All I can say right now, man-O-man is this thing shiny!

Thanks for all your help everyone!
