Good price, but it is HDMI 1.3. If anybody's curious, here's why that may matter to you.

1600p, wow, new format?
@rprebel: According to that article, all the 1.4 features will work with 1.3 cables except the ethernet channel. That's probably not a show stopper for most people.
@mconrad: Perhaps, but for that minority it makes a difference, which is why I posted the link.
@rprebel: Cables are supposed to be rated by speed, not HDMI specification. Ethernet was added in the 1.4 spec, but the speed of the cable can probably handle the ethernet without a problem, depending on what features you wish to utilize. If all you need is 1080i, then you can probably do the ethernet as well. If you need 120hz 1080p, then there's probably not enough remaining bandwith on the cable for ethernet.
@8ate8: That sure is a lot of "probably".
HDMI 1.4 cables can be had just as cheaply as this one, so I don't see the point of getting this at all. I didn't say that before because there's probably some wooters that don't need the ethernet channel, and it is a good price.
Again, hdmi cables should be rated by speed, not specification. There no telling what a "1.3" cable couldn't do that a "1.4" cable could; hence the probably's.
Nice post!
Bought two of these a while back. One saved for my new HD TV/PS3 and the other being used to give me a triple screen display on my PC.
I cringe when I see these in best buy and marked up by $17...I just wanna violently shake the people buying those....
HDMI cables are not even supposed to include versions - that's a marketing scam, there's just standard and high speed. It's the devices that add features and are given a version based on the supported feature set. If both your source device and display support 1.4, then this cable will work just fine.
$2.98 Shipping per cable so no matter how many you get they will come out to $4.15 a piece.
@theturner: $18 at Best Buy looks like a steal compared to the regular price on this site of $76.00!!??!?! What a deal (the $76).
3D support?
this is NOT a good buy, go to eBay and they sell 10 foot 1.4v for $1.50 and free shipping all day long. do your research people
