5 Pack of Brand Name 3ft and 6ft Gold Plated HDMI Cables

5 Pack of Brand Name 3ft and 6ft Gold Plated HDMI Cables for $9.99

Plus 6.00 shipping.

We are going to send you 5 (five) Brand Name HDMI cables. All have gold plated connectors. Most of the cables will be 3 or 6 footers. But there are some 9 and 12 foot cables. We can't say whether or not you will get any cables longer than 6 foot-but there is always that possibility.

What brands? It may be Philips. Or RCA. Or Acoustic Research. Maybe Monster. We don't know except it will be a major brand.

All cables are guaranteed to work. Almost all are brand new. (Hey, even used cables work just as well. We only say “most are new” because we don’t want to hear the complaints if they are not perfectly wrapped or have the slightest of imperfections. You chronic complainers know who you are!)

We take them out of broken packages and ship them to you. No packaging, no ties, just 100% HDMI cable! By doing this we reduce costs and can send you 5 cables for less $$$. Smart.

As a tv repairman for 20+ years I seldom saw any difference in picture quality using expensive or cheaper standard quality cables. The real difference is durability. If you use cheap cables than expect they may not last long, especially if you change connections a lot. I know lots of sales people that will say the expensive cables are a must, but I defy anyone to tell the difference by looking at the picture.

Anybody that knows how to do a bit of research will find that the technology behind HDMI signals renders the argument of cable quality almost mute. You either get picture, or you don't. An expensive cable will produce no better image than an inexpensive cable. I've hooked up enough HDTV systems to know that expensive only means one thing, and that's just that you paid more. I provide my customers with inexpensive cables for setup, and leave the marked up, high price cables for the retail folks that simply don't know any better.

Here's a bit of a review that can help explain this in more detail.

Having gold plated HDMI cables makes about as much sense as having gold plated USB cables.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
