Hookin’ up the TV

Monday, March 3rd, 2008

Well, despite the fact that the picture on our bitchin’ new Sharp Aquos LC-37D43U looks like shit (but that’s another post), I’m going ahead and buying the HDMI cables. After a little A/B test I did with my brother John years ago between 22AWG lamp cord and Monster Cable, I have not been tempted to buy the Monster Hype.

James Randi also lends a hand.

Thanks! I’ll be buying my cables from the oddly-named Monoprice.
