made in china, should be good. HDMI cables arent worth the 40+ bucks they usually go for.

(wouldnt be surprised if it was made in the same factory... just check how well they're made before you purchase)

I would think so. I have gotten one on ebay for like $3 but now I get them free from my dad who works at Time Warner.

If you come pick it up I have an extra 12' I will give you for free or just pay shipping.

A HDMI cable is a HDMI cable, being digital, it either works or it doesn't.

No other smokescreen about it's BS composite or artificially enhanced in some special way though some scientific aerospace technology optimization.

Yup. It's 0's or 1's, most cables (or is it the standard?) also have some type error correction. It works or it doesn't.

Now some would argue that the shielding of the cables has something to do with quality depending on if you are running them through your walls, interference, blablabla. But I'm not convinced. I have cheap monoprice cables as well as the Monster M series and see no difference on my 50".
