You may have already seen our deal of the day logo adorning our fabulous TigerDirect.com home page. Each day we offer another item for so little, we can only afford to do so for 24 hours. Case in point: today’s deal is on a 6-foot HDMI Male to Male Cable from Cables To Go. We’ve lowered the price by 100 percent. You read that right. After the rebate, this all-digital connection is completely free. See why we only do this for 24 hours?

Here’s the way this works. You order by Noon Tomorrow (July 24th, 2007) and you’ll be eligible for a 10-dollar rebate that makes the price of this baby a big fat goose egg. You can afford free, can’t you? Cables to Go makes great affordable connections for everything from PC connections to S-video cords for that aging Display of yours. If you don’t have an HDMI capable display, then you’re missing out. Let me tell you why.

For those that don’t know what HDMI is, let me explain. All the connections you most likely use to get your video or display signals to your television are Analog. This is great, but it isn’t as good as a digital signal. That’s because an analog interface translates a digital source to analog, moves it through the cable, and then translates it back to digital information again at the display. With each translation, the signal looses integrity. Most of these cables also require you to connect dedicated video and audio, something that HDMI does away with. Almost none of these older connection types can display 1080p resolution, either—that’s a job for all Digital HDMI.

HDMI is the newest form of interface for audio and visual equipment including High Definition televisions. HDMI consists of 19 wires wrapped together to appear as one—this allows it a bandwidth of 5Gbps (gigabits per second), more than two times the needed amount to transmit multi-channel audio and visual information. Aside from creating an all digital, zero-degradation connection, it also provides room for signal strength and speed to expand without needing to redesign HDMI. And HDMI contains the digital audio information for your video on the same wire, so there’s no need to make a rat’s nest out of the back of your home theater equipment.

If you own a Flat Panel Display Television, or have the desire or intent to get one in the near future, you don’t want to pass on this deal. Go to your nearest electronics retailer, if you don’t believe me. Ask them to show you a 6-foot HDMI Male-to-Male cable. Then ask them if you can have it for free. See where I’m going with this?
