$0.99 after applying coupon code MLCK9T09NL1
Buy fast, these sell out in hours , sometimes minutes,...if the coupon doesnt work you can still buy 2 for 6 bucks or 3 for 8 bucks with free shipping. I have never had any problems with this company, and these cables are very good quality.
Just be aware that they are HDMI 1.3 certified and HDMI 1.4 is the latest standard...probably why they are cheap. I just bought this one not too long ago...being shipped now...If you do just a bit of research, you can always find HDMI cables cheap. Never buy at Best buy or whatever:

You won't be disappointed. I've done comparisons in my house with the expensive cables and the cheap ones and can't tell the difference. Maybe a more discerning eye can, but not to me.
In the olden days where everything was analog, and digital did not exist, Monster cable may have made more sense. With digital, you either have the signal or you don't. There is no 'clarity' to be gained by spending more for a thicker HDML (or digital coax, or optical) cable. I just do not see anything to gain by paying so much more for a digital cable..speaker wire, sure...RCA jacks, or component video, sure...but not anything digital.
the big thing with HDMI, IMO, is to make sure you get the latest version...it should either say 1.4, or Ethernet capable, 3d, etc...The older 1.3 will work, you will just miss certain features...and I don't think it's 3d capable and for some people that may be important.
