A new survey from Parks Associates finds that when consumers want to hook up a PC or notebook computer to a stereo, television, or home theater, they’re much more likely to opt for a cheap set of cables than fork over money for a digital media extender.
“Simple and cheap will beat expensive and complicated among shoppers looking for a way to connect entertainment devices,” said Parks Associates’s director of research John Barrett, in a release. “What would you pick? The cables are not only cheaper but also easier to install, and you sacrifice only a few features.”
