cheap component video cables

[zepman1]

I need to purchase component video cables to connect my new HDTV to HDTV cable receiver and DVD player. I don't really feel like spending $50 for the Monster cables. Am I that much worse off with a $15 Recoton, GE, RCA, or NXG component video cable? Does anyone have any experience with these "lesser" brand name cables and how they compare to the more expensive $30-$50 cables such as Monster or Acoustic Research?

If anyone is familiar with any cheaper brands in the $15-$20 price range that they are satisfied with, please let me know.

Any help would be appreciated.

Any of the cable brands you mentioned will work just fine.

I have occasionally had trouble with Radio Shack Gold, Recoton, Magnavox and AR cables. I have never had any problems at all with basic NXG cables (the blue ones). I now have more NXG cables than anything else and use them whenever I help someone else set up their systems.

Thanks, maybe I will give the NXG a try. Anyone else here had success with those?
