There is a huge scam that every unassuming HDTV buyer is exposed to at retail stores all across the country. It’s the “Do you have a cable?” question. Often it is followed by the sticker shock of a sales associate letting said buyer believe that they need to spend an additional $80-130 on ONE cable. Do NOT buy them there!

Meritline is the place I go to purchase cables from.  You can usually (3) 6-foot HDMI cables for $7!
