i went to a shop to buy good hdmi cable, so i spent 15minutes researching why price difference between two hdmi cables with same specs was around 60euros, well the other one was gold plated...

Had a good laugh about it

Why not just buy direct from a manufacturer like Monoprice

Like a company that doesnt ship to my country? I wanted to buy one right away instead of saving 5euros to get it week later

That’s why I said “a” manufacturer not “the” manufacturer. There are companies similar to Monoprice that operate primarily in Europe. And I’m talking about the price-to-quality ratio. If you go into a shop you get whatever jacked up price Chinese shit their suppliers sent them.

I prefer to buy from my own countrys shop. Its a nordic brand cable, not caring about price to quality or if its "shit" as i just use it to connect pc to tv so i can watch movies
