I'm not sure if this belongs here or in the "Money" forum, but ---
I recently bought a new computer. The computer has HDMI output that I want to connect to a monitor and a TV that have DVI input.
So the computer store has a 6 ft HDMI to DVI cable for $40.00.
OTOH, Tartan Cable online has a 2 ft HDMI to DVI cable for $2.80. That's exactly the sales tax on the in store cable.
HDMI to DVI Cables at Tartan Cable (Tartan's 6 ft, heavier gauge cable is $10.00.)
I assume that cables are a big markup items for stores because they are after-thoughts. But this is amazing.
Does anyone have any experience with Tartan Cable?
