Cheap Micro-HDMI cable?

Has anyone found a cheap Micro-HDMI cable yet? I usually buy my cables from Monoprice.com, but they only have mini-HDMI cables, no Micro yet. $30 from Sprint seems rather expensive for something that will soon be about $6 from monoprice.
Just curious if anyone else has found some online yet.
Bummer that the EVO uses Micro USB as well, would have preferred mini usb..oh well.

I emailed monoprice about carrying Type D micro HDMI cables, and they said they'd have them available "soon", so that's what I'm waiting for.

Sweet! That's great news. I'll have to keep an eye out for them to show up in stock. I think I'll pick up a few micro-usb cables at the same time (one for the desk, one next to the bed, and one in the car.)
If you see 'em before I do, share in forums that they're in stock eh?
Thanks!

ive seen them for as low as $13, not a bad price. im waiting to see if they have a video dock similar to the zune hd though.

Cheap hdmi cable on amazon

Hey guys since the new kernels coming out with full hdmi, I think I might finally bite the bullet and buy a cable. Anyone know of a.good cheap one on amazon? Or anyone have any suggestions for some? I know mono price normally has good cheap cables. Any help is appreciated.

I was going to suggest mono price.. they have mini hdmi to hdmi for about 3 bucks...
I also would suggest just getting the mini hdmi adaptor piece... http://www.google.com/products/cata...=X&ei=iIKDTcqmMoGqsAPepvX_AQ&ved=0CEoQ8gIwAg#

Why get the mini adapter when monoprice has the Full Size HDMI to Mini HDMI in stock?

If this is for the HTC Evo 4g, then the correct plug is Micro Hdmi and not mini.

Pick your size. Got mine 2 days later. Works great.

This is correct, I wasn't paying attention when I quoted above. Either way it's still dirt cheap at Monoprice.com and a waste of money to buy an adapter.

I just ordered mine. Hope they dont break too easily

Monoprice cables are great quality, plus they have a lifetime warranty.

do you need to get the high speed cable, or will the standard speed work ok?
my couch is 10 feet from my tv, so I need a longer cable, which only comes in standard speed..
thanks

This one works for me:

After extensive research I feel this is a great cable.... Just ordered it for 9.84 shipped.
15 ft away from the TV or LCD will be nice.
Thanks!

i and my friends have used monoprice for all our cables/cords for years, never a problem

I use them all the time.

For us lucky enough to be near California we get the best of both worlds. I get over nite express shipping for like $5 or so. This is probably faster then me getting around to going to a store.

I also use monoprice all the time. I love it. Cables and other stuff are so cheap and great customer service too.

I use them all the time too, no complaints at all here, only compliments! I buy ALL my cables (HDMI, audio, Cat6, power strips, etc) from them! Bought a 50' HDMI cable and it transfers full 1080p just as good as the others and it was only ~$20...

yes! monoprice is the best! i ordered a 10ft usb cable for my e4gt it was like $5 with shipping. great prices! i have ordered from them a few times without no problems

one thing I would recommend, don't just buy one or two cables at a time. Your shipping would cost more than the cables itself. The over night shipping (less than 10lbs) is only about $4 (to CA). Still not a bad deal considering the prices at brick and mortar places. When I want to order, I always call up some friends who need cables and we do a group buy. Or just, buy a bunch of extras for your travel luggage, laptop bag, cable in your car, ect. You can never have enough cables... lol.
Side note: I've been shopping at monoprice for years. I also have their graphic tablets and dual monitor arm clamps. For the price, I was surprised with the quality.

Monoprice is the way to go.. I recently took delivery of 11+ pounds of A/V, USB & MHL cabling and some crazy adapters for about 100 bucks. Some of the audio cables look like garden hoses :0. Same shipment would have been near a grand from Worst Buy.
Their stuff comes from China, but so does everything else.. No probs at all.

I can vouch for this place. I've been purchasing my HDMI cables, TV wall mounts and such from here for the last 2-3yrs. About 45min drive away from me, but overnight shipping is cheaper than gas, so I usually go with that.
I have also bought the MHL adapter from here, works great!

Micro USB cables - overpriced and cheaply made

My first micro USB cable broke the other day when my phone fell off my bed... it bent the metal plug (lol) and broke the cable.
I bought a replacement cable from best buy. 20$ down the drain. A month later the cheapo cable was not charging, and I had to force the cable through yoga positions to get get it to charge.
And like me, the cable was not supposed to do yoga every night and it ceased to work.
Best buy had failed me. (Surprise surprise)
So I went on amazon and ordered a 6 dollar cable. Woo! Cheap!
....
2 days later (Amazon prime )
Cable arrives.
HOLY CRAP
It is a gold plated cable, and feels to be about the most durable USB cable I think I've ever seen.
I've been using the cable for the past month or so and its awesome. The connection is great, (no wiggle. Hehe) and the cable is just durable.
So to all of you with micro USB cable woes... go to Amazon and buy that 6$ cable (so lazy I can't even link... smh) it will ruin all other cable experiences for you.

I totally agree with you! I went to radio shack looking for just the USB cable as I dont need the plug that you connect it to bc mine is fine..They wanted 20-30 bux for just the cord!!! Im like no way...I went to amazon & read sum reviews some neg sum positive but the one that came in works great for me so far (knocks on wood)! Here is a link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004T0GHOU/ref=oh_o04_s00_i00_details
Also got this micro SD reader: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012Y02CE/ref=oh_o02_s00_i00_details When I plug it in it says its a sandisk...working fine so far so much easier than having to use my phone to transfer files!

here is the one I bought. Right now its only 3.99 as a prime user!

I'm going to have to also support Monoprice. My only advice is that you should probably use Paypal if possible. They had a data breach a year or so ago where some user data was compromised.

wow guys, never, and I mean never buy cables from Bestbuy or any other retail store. Always buy online, and if you spent over 5 bucks for cords, you overspent on cords! a great website to find deals on any cords is slickdeals.net (there's a saying at those forums that if you spend more than 5 bucks on HDMI cable's, you are either ignorant or a moron that likes to waste money.)
P.S. - HDMI is digital so its either you have a connection or you don't, gold plated **** is still ****. Don't waste your money on things that doesn't even effect picture quality. Sorry for going out of topic, just want you guys to save some money.

AMEN!

monoprice rules
i'l like to add my support for monoprice as well, there's no reason to buy any sort of cable from anywhere but there unless you're getting it for free... 9 times out of 10 when i buy something from there i usually end up getting 2 or 3 plus some other stuff since everything its so cheap. Quality is never an issue, in fact my monoprice hdmi cables have outlasted other store bought (Expensive!) hdmi's.... i dont understand how the people who work at monster cable, etc can sleep at night knowing they's built an entire business based on lying to, misleading, and ripping people off who don't know much about tech....

I live by monoprice haha

I bought some from amazon for 49 cents i bought like 5 of them. I've had them for over 5 months and still working great. I have them all over the house lol

+10 for Monoprice....I have an Amazon prime account and I still go to monoprice first for the quality of their cables. Their search and site layout is nice too, they are like Radio Shack on steroids (the good king of steroids)

Yes best place ever to buy any wire. Don't let people in best buy or any other retail store try to sell you the same exact wire for $20. They convinced a friend of mine into buying one of those $50 monster hdmi cables, and I was like bro you just got robbed. I took one of my hdmi cables that I purchased from monoprice and hooked it up to his tv and asked him if he could see a difference. He ended up taking that cable back.

monoprice is the ****. i got a 50' hdmi cable on sale for like 10 bucks, along with a 1/8th to rca audio for my stereo system, for dirt cheap. i think it was like 5 bucks. the left channel died a year after i bought it so i emailed them and they mailed me another no questions asked. i have a micro hdmi to hdmi for my phone and it works great got that for a few bucks most likely.. their stuff is so cheap. my friend does audio work for theaters and concert venues and he uses monoprice for everything. they're a solid company with a really good rep.

I go to comcast for HDMI cables. They don't have anything long but if you have hd service from them (and probably if you don't) you can walk in and tell them that your hdmi cable dies and they'll hand you a new one. Between that and moving a few times in the last couple of years, I have 6 comcast hdmi cables still in the baggies they come in ready to go

Power adapter

just bought an Iconia A100 off a friend, but it has no power adapter. Can any of the Iconia series power adapters work for it? Also, I don't suppose an ACER netbook power adapter will do the trick, eh? Wish this thing would charge through the micro usb port. Was going to post this in the Q & A thread, but it doesn't look like there is one. Sorry if there is.

The a500,a100 and maybe 200 use the same cord around $10 on amazon

You need 12V, I guess that battery pack outputs only 5V.

I ordered two adapters from Pwr+ Store I used there eBay store, and ordered
the wall and car adapter, I tested both adapters with a volt meter, the wall
adapter tested at 12.24v, and the car adapter tested at 11.93v when the
car was running.
