Yikes! Consumer Electronic Rip...

I finally got around to looking at the manuals for a TV set and DVD
player we have, and noticed there was a "new" way to hook them up
together, with an "HDMI" cable. The cable is supposed to provide the
highest possible video quality from a DVD to the TV set, and it also
carries audio signals.
$100+ for the manufacturer's branded cable, same price for a "Monster"
cable. Unbelievable. The fittings on the cable sort of resemble the flat
ones on a USB cable, but they are not the same.
$100, for what I am sure is a perfectly ordinary cable. I had no idea
SONY had been taken over by the boating industry.
Anyway, I shopped around for a while, and found a no-name supplier who
has the cable for *only* $35. Sheesh. For a 6' cable with two 50-cent
ends on it.
Where was the no-name cable made?
