Holiday Service Announcement
It's the number one question asked when high definition television is the subject. Is the expensive HDMI cables worth it in terms of quality or cable longevity?
HDMI cable shopping tips:
* Gold plated connections do not increase cable quality or life.
* Length matters very little. Grab a 25' cable if needed.
* $80 for one cable?! Return it for a universal remote!
Remember these specifications for the current standard:
-
- HDMI Version 1.3
- At least 6' in length
- Category 2 Certified
- Shielding from interferance
Example: These HDMI cables right here are perfect. A 3 pack for $6.99!
This has been a holiday service announcement to save people money during a glorified mindless consumer holiday.

The only way Obama could save the US Economy would be through the demise of the Federal Reserve System, but we saw what happened to Kennedy in Dallas for going vis-a-vis with the powerful Federal Reserve.
Every stimulus and rescue package sinks the country into debt at an always increasing rate. It's simple: the more money we need, the higher the interest. Instead of having money printed at material value, the cost to print, we, the tax payers, are stuck with a enormous bill because we are charged face value, what the bill shows it is worth, plus a gigantic amount of interest.
Bush and Cheney are not the cause of the $55+ trillion debt. Know the true villains.
